How naturally strong and healthy humans ate back then—and eat today.

What is The Paleo Diet®? We say The Paleo Diet is designed by nature, built by science. Long before farming and food manufacturing, humans simply ate what nature provided. For most of our history, our diets came from wild plants and animals, not processed or industrialized foods.

Our bodies evolved to thrive on those natural, whole foods. But in the blink of evolutionary time, we have introduced thousands of modern products like sugary cereals and packaged snacks that our bodies haven’t adjusted to digest in healthy ways
