This diet, although popular, is not very effective when it comes to weight loss. It is also not very convenient and hard to maintain in the long-term. Its rule is simple: any food which would not be available in the Paleolithic era must be cut out, which means that processed foods, refined sugar, dairy, legumes, and grains are not allowed. What is left is meats, fish, poultry, fruits, and vegetables. It is difficult to follow this diet as a lifestyle as it cuts off entire food groups, which is also deemed unhealthy by most doctors. And although it is not easy to lose weight, it is also not impossible, as the calories consumed can also be burned. The high point is that for those who like meat, there are great varieties of recipes to choose from.
