What is Paleo?

The Paleolithic diet, often referred to as Paleo, is based on the foods humans ate during the Stone Age before agriculture was introduced. The diet focuses on natural and unprocessed foods, while minimising the intake of processed products, added sugar and salt.

Paleo is often promoted as a pathway to a healthy lifestyle by emphasising natural ingredients and avoiding processed foods.
