Hunter gatherer diet (also known as Paleo diet) is a diet plan which is based on the eating habits of the people of Paleolithic age. It’s based on plants and wild animals that people millions of years ago used to live on. The modern hunter gatherer diet or paleo diet excludes all sorts of processed and farm foods and consists of fruits, nuts, fish, meat, roots etc.
The reason why a lot of people admire this diet is pretty simple. Humans living in the wild as hunter gatherer were physically healthy and free of ailments like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, depression etc. They had a clear eye sight and strong teeth. All these diseases and over weight problem arrived when we moved to the modern age. So, to get over these problems, why don’t we get back to paleo diet.
Even the foods that we get from farms are not acceptable in paleo diet such as grains, potatoes, sugar, dairy products, beans etc. You’re only allowed to eat meat, fish, plant roots, berries, nuts, fruits etc. that people in Paleolithic period used to eat.
It will notably change the vitamin intake and lessen calorie intake. In case you want to give it a try, you can begin with getting this diet as a breakfast. After that as you get used to it, you can have it in all three meals.
A widely popular book about this diet named as the Primal Blueprint has been written by Mark Sisson, a former world-class endurance athlete with a degree in environmental science. The primal blueprint diet plan is just like the paleo diet. He also described in his book, a few activities which are crucial to build a healthy and strong body like moving around slowly, lifting heavy things, lots of sleep etc. Things that hunter gatherers were accustomed to do.
You’ll find a huge number of diet plans available today and hundreds are arriving every month, almost all of that have success rate under 10%. Going backward and having a hunter gatherer diet might be the one required for you.
