the paleo diet is a growing diet/lifestyle based on eating real foods. If anything else its very interesting to read about. http://freetheanimal.com/ancestral-life-way is a great blog for anyone interested.

The Paleo diet is interesting but is not the be all and end all.

Check out http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/ , http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ and http://www.westonaprice.org/ for more viewpoints.

The general consensus though is to avoid processed foods and stick to whole foods. A big one is to eat animal fat instead of industrially produced vegetable and seed oils.

Also, limit carbohydrate intake (ideally eating only fruit and vegetables).

2 days ago Kurt Harris posted a very readable article about what paleo is and what it probably isn't.
