The Paleo Diet® Premise Quite simply, The Paleo Diet® is the only diet to which the human species is genetically adapted. In other words, when you eat a Paleo Diet, you are eating the optimal foods for your body, literally programmed into your DNA. By The Paleo Diet Team.
You can also eat: Eggs Nuts and seeds Healthier oils, including olive oil and coconut oil.The paleo diet is modeled after the diets hunter-gatherers are likely to have followed. While there is no one way to follow the paleo diet, the basic idea is to avoid processed foods and focus.The paleo diet is an eating plan that mimics how prehistoric humans may have eaten. It involves eating whole foods that people could theoretically hunt or gather.
Advocates of the paleo diet reject.Whole30 Diet – Designed as a 30-day elimination diet, you’ll find a lot of overlap with paleo. This diet has no grains, dairy, or legumes as well.
However, Whole30 requires additional eliminations and is more restrictive. It may be helpful for those trying to identify a food sensitivity, but unlike the paleo diet, Whole30 is not designed to be followed long-term.Dr. Loren Cordain’s final graduate student, Trevor Connor, M.S., brings more than a decade of nutrition and physiology expertise to spearhead the new Paleo Diet team.
Dr. Mark Smith One of the original members of the Paleo movement, Mark J. Smith, Ph.D., has spent nearly 30 years advocating for the benefits of Paleo nutrition.The paleo diet, sometimes referred to as “the caveman diet,” is based on the principle that eating foods that were available to early humans will promote optimal health. One of the fundamental.Paleo Diet Foods Meats.
Almost all meats are paleo by definition. Of course, you’ll want to stay away from highly processed meats and Fruits**. Fruits are not only delicious, but they’re also great for you. That said, fruits (even paleo-approved ones) Other Paleo-friendly Foods. This is a.
The paleo diet runs on the same foods our hunter-gather ancestors supposedly ate: fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and nuts.The eating plan is big on lean, grass-fed meats, wild fish, vegetables, nuts, seeds, eggs and certain fruits. It also encourages monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as avocado and olive.
The Paleo Diet is based on what early humans may have eaten in the Paleolithic era. That’s more than 2 million years before modern farming began. In the Stone Age, people ate only what they could.The paleo diet philosophy involves returning to the way our cavemen and cavewomen ancestors ate more than 12,000 years ago, before agriculture practices were developed — namely, a.
The Paleo Diet — also known as the Stone Age, Caveman or Ancient Diet — is a modern attempt to replicate the diet of humans of the Paleolithic.Paleo diets are based on a simple premise – if the cavemen didn’t eat it, you shouldn’t either. So long to refined sugar, dairy, legumes and grains (this is pre-agricultural revolution), and hello.What is the paleo diet?
The paleo diet is a nutritional approach that focuses on eating only foods that are high in nutrients, unprocessed, and based on the foods that were available and eaten by humans in.

All in common is less processing, more real Whole Foods with vitamins, fiber, etc. that’s what really matters
just a side note: Paleolithic diets were also very high in calories when they could eat that much, but with them traveling as much as they had they burned the calories. In my opinion you really should just eat what you want when you want it to a certain degree.
1:00 when a modern hunter gatherer tribe has been compared with a 20 000 years old tribe, let me think what is the difference, maybe mammoth, bison woolly rhinoceros, giant deer, eurasian hippopotamus and no hunting seasons….
Just avoid sugar and processed low nutrient, high calorie foods
This is proof that you can have a PhD and do a TED talk yet completely ignore evidence and butcher science because of a dietary ideology. ��♂️
ONLY 30% OF PEOPLE CAN EAT ICE CREAM?
Well, that’s why so many people are angry.
Please do a video about Keto and why it’s stupid
All of my friends are gonna die at 40 with the way these fad diets are going
Brought to you by Monsanto Roundup big ag,big dairy
It’s safer to eat meat then
any vegetables or fruits or grains that are GMO and full of pesticides herbicides fungicides and from third world countries
And round up.
lol it sucks how caveman couldnt have had eat frenc fries lol
GRASS FED MEAT, FISH, ORGANS, SOME SEEDED VEGGIES AND FRUITS IF YOU LIKE. THATS IT FOR HUMAN HEALTH.
Wonderful video. We think Paleo is fantastic. Here’s our take on it- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inj1N_WRas8&t=68s
The real paleo diet: give all the fruits and vegetables in your fridge to children. Pay them to hide it around the neighbourhood. Spend hours walking around gathering it. Next, give a steak to a kid on a bicycle. Run the kid down on foot until you can hit him or her with a Nerf gun to ‘kill” your prey. Then walk home and cook everything you managed to find over a fire in the backyard. Repeat until skinny.
This video is old enough that’s it’s not even worth the time to argue ����
She’s right though that early understanding of ‘Paleo’ were almost as bunk as modern vegan diet ideas. But at least early Paleo ideas were on the right path.
I originally watched this video when it came out and it was a very positive influence (I was coming off of 20 years of being vegan ��).
This study has come a long way since this and much if this is nether here now there. Sadly we’ve destroyed the planet and the plethora of plants (and animals) we used to eat.
People are based on their land base.
“Humans have no known adaptations to meat consumption?” This can’t be right. I can see how this might be considered true in comparison to carnivores with their acidic stomachs and claws. However, the same argument could be made about plants, since we don’t have multiple stomachs for fermenting plants like ruminants do. How about outrunning prey animals over long distances?
Natural Herbivores, like Gorillas, require very large colons with microbes to convert plants into SCFAs for energy more than 60%. Natural Carnivores, like Humans, only very low (2-9%) energy from plants due to their relative colon size the rest is excreted. Human stomach acid levels are even higher than that of Cats, Dogs, and similar to other scavengers (meat eaters). Basically, we are “designed” to eat a mostly carnivorous diet, but can also eat plants…it’s just not optimal.
I think a better way to think about eating is don’t eat anything you could have raised or grown yourself. That’s a good start. Then cut out grains, rice and potatoes.
I’m curious as to what exactly plants did early man eat? Besides fruits?
I think the skeptical tone of this video is misleading. Many more people eat ice cream than are able to digest it well. I read that 99% of Asians are lactose intolerant. Only like 40% of Caucasians aren’t lactose intolerant. And yes, I’ve given up many “delicious foods” so that I can feel better and enjoy better health, confirmed by doctors.
The reason why she is so concerned was explicit in her first statement about “not abandoning our agricultural foods.” Farming and ranching is big business that is subsidized by the U.S. Government. So much so, the industrialized farming complex has essentially squeezed out the small farmer to almost extinction. Truth be told, corporate farming is more concerned with making a profit more than the land, animals, and the people who consume their products. Pesticides on depleted soils and abused animals make for a nutrient poor and down right toxic food choice. Right now, to combat obesity and multitude of diseases that come with it, we need to cut out the sugar that carbohydrates offer and focus on nutrient dense food that organics has to offer to replenish and restore out health and drop the poundage per person. The Government’s recommendations with the Food Pyramid Guidelines in the 80’s were horribly wrong to state that we should eat more whole grains. Grains are what we feed animals to fatten them up quick and it is a method used because it is efficient and cost effective. We did manage to prohibit ranchers from feeding downed and disease cows to otherwise healthy ones. I say, listen to your body not the so called “Experts.” Paleo is excellent for body maintenance. Then, if you want to step off once in a while, you can without destroying your health. It’s about listening and learning about your own unique body’s preferences and tolerances.
Great talk! Very informative. What she’s basically saying is that the idea of eating the local indigenous way is great. She’s wrong about animal consumption as we’ve been eating animals for 500,000 years, ever since we discovered fire. Our body hasn’t evolved physically to hunt because we used tools to hunt, opposed to lions which catch its prey by using its physical features like claws, teeth etc. There was no evolutional reason for us to develop such features as we don’t use our bodies like any other animal to hunt. In addition, we know that humans hunted an astonishing amount of animals, and made most species and animals extinct within a matter of tens of thousands of years. Cholesterol and omega 3 fats made our brains the way they are. We cannot get these things from different sources than animals. Not acknowledging eating nose to tail for hundred of thousands of years is just incorrect.
My suggestion to what to do is first of all fast. What’s for sure is that we fasted for long periods of time. Second of all is consuming high quality animal foods, preferably as nutritious as we can get like eggs, organs, salmon etc.
This presenation gave us some wrong conclusions. Ancient Mayans are much more releated to us, than are to first modern humans. Ancient mayans lived 2000BC. First modern human, that is next generation human lived 300.000 years ago. We need to know, what first ate first humans. Not civilisation 280.000 later. Even if we ate full graines, it wasnt mutated. Bananas looked different, even carrot was white. Even 20 years ago, we had different corn since I grow up on a small farm. This kind of corn cant be found anymore, because is prone to disease. I do not eat Paleo, but If you look what you eat on Paleo si more close to what ancient people eat even if you eat nowday corn-
When I start living on my own I really want to try to stick to what I call the “casual paleo” which is basically only eat it if it grows or comes from something that grows. So basically nothing processed
Maasai are NOT hunter-gatherers, they are herders, Papuans are NOT hunter-gatherers, they are one of the oldest agricultural peoples on Earth, although their staple is sago (an edible tree) and not grain, (and why do you show Australian Aborigines in the image who are or at least used to be until very recently?)
Also we now live a lot longer than just a century ago, why? Because of antibiotics (and other advances in medicine, and maybe some better nutrition, but mostly because antibiotics, which you don’t mention at all).
Junk science is not science!
Everyone of any diet “camp” needs to see this. Eat whole low-processed/no processed foods for a healthy life
Thank you!… if you see this…. I am looking at an add for that exact fad diet. lol
Since I first heard about ‘paleo’ (having already known about geographical dietary differences), I have wondered if, just maybe, some people might have better luck with weight management and whatnot if they tried to stick to a diet that more closely resembled what their nearest ancestors may have had access too. So for me, having a lot of south american and maya genetics in me, I have wondered if I would feel better and be a little healthier on a diet that consisted of foods more like the local native options in south america. Things the maya had subsisted on like squash perhaps, might be better for me if it was more prevalent in my diet. Just as a curiosity. I have a lot of health problems related to agent orange exposure my mother suffered so it complicates things for me, but I wonder(ed) all the same.
Actual composition of diet aside, I have a feeling what kept ancient man ‘healthy’ and powerful was the fact that they were just always moving and working. A lot of modern health problems come from eating too much, not necessarily eating wrong, per se. That, and just a generally sedentary lifestyle. Intake should be based on activity, and otherwise be minimal. That way your body doesn’t have excess anything to process, and it keeps your internal systems working hard and properly. You can see this is captive animals like tigers and bears at zoos. Even if fed a proper diet, lack of exercise and stimulation alone can be cause for obesity and depression in zoo beasts. It’s an easy correlation to make, if a bit simple.
All of the above taken into consideration, I think it is very important to remember a point brought up here as well: that we are no longer ancient man. They preceded us, and we are the remains of those who oulasted/oubred, meaning something was happening right for us to end up here now. Even dogs have made similar adjustments like we have, being able to digest more starch than wolves, for example. It only takes a few thousand years for certain gene adjustments to occur, and even between generations there can be changes in behavior and/or environment that affect the children to come and how their genetic blueprint is outlined.
We just need to practice a bit more caution and a lot more portion control in regards to food and treats. A responsible pet owner won’t give their dog a whole bag of treats in a day, knowing it is bad for pup. So we just need to have the same respect for ourselves and not eat entire bags of chips at once, purely as a comparison.
Maasai diet is the best
I guess
They look tall and streamlined
How did the Neanderthal get enough vitamin d in the high latitude of Europe? Especially if clothed because of the cold temperature?
People taking just 10% of human evolution and saying that this is the way we should eat for long term health.
Don’t know why we were called hunter-gatherer. I would call it scavenger. I’m pretty sure much of the meat we ate came from finding dead animals, or chasing away predators away from kills.
WAIT A MINUTE
only 30% of us can have dairy products
I am thankful to enjoy cheese but ironically going vegan from companies allowing blood and puss into the same milk because of the pasteurization process “destroys it all” then being replaced
hot damn
Christina Warinner is an excellent speaker. This is a very interesting and informative video. GOD-made not man-made!
For the attention of Americans. HERB is not a French word, and is not pronounced ERB. You’re welcome.
this dummy has not seen a real bannana lmfao awww you dont know
2019 and we now know that you were WRONG. Humans are Carnivore.
How boring. Did she ever read dr cordain? As she speaks it’s more likely she didn’t.
What makes you assume that our hunter gatherer ancestors from 50 000 years ago were less healthy then. Looking at surviving hunter gatherer societies they are both very happy and very healthy. While it is is true humans are very good at adapting and there is no true paleo diet there are some things we can see in common in indigenous cultures eating habits. Raw and often whole foods are easier to get so hence they ate it. Most Indigenous cultures also experienced regular fasting. Fasting is good for you wether it be extended or intermittent. And finally like you said tribes adapt to foods in their area. Often their ancestors ate the same foods and hence they are slightly different from external human population populations in that they’re adapted to a specific type of food. So eating foods that match your ancestry, that are mostly raw (50-90%) and not eating for a few days or only eating once a day is key for most people.
Waaaiiiiitttt. Only 30% of the world can eat icecream?!?! Just when I thought I was down in my luck. I find out that 4 billion people can’t enjoy the tastiest frozen treat
I lost a ton of weight, my skin has cleared up, my PCOS symptoms cleared up, and I’m not starving all the time on Paleo. I’ve been doing this for awhile and it’s works best for me. I’m still eating good carbs, and I have a cheat meal on Friday’s. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this lifestyle.
What do you think about https://tinyurl.com/ppaalleeoo?? For me is the best paleo diet!
A bunch of the animals we used to eat are now extinct. That is probably some kind of factor. Except the brains of dead children. We ate and totally still can eat those. Paleo diet was metal like that.
Probably the real objective differences from us to all of them is that they eat (far) less and exercise far more…
I’m doing a keto diet with a focus on getting all your vitamins and minerals from vegetables. I know this isn’t for everyone, but I feel so mich better now =)
Some interesting food for thought here. However, I was just looking at old yearbook photos from the 1920’s, and I actually broke down crying. Why? Well, as a middle aged educator for some time now, I can tell you without a doubt that just a few generations back, folks here on the east coast of the USA (with largely the same ethnicity profiles of where I live/teach now) had far more examples of facial features indicative of epigenetic vigor. Features like broad faces, larger and wider set eyes, fuller lips, and more striking overall appearances (even though it was not the custom then to smile for photos). I showed my still living mother, and she saw it straight away as well. Who cares? Well, look at the work of Dr. Weston Price (Nutrition and Physical Degeneration), Dr. Catharine Shanahan (Deep Nutrition), and most importantly a book out now by Arthur Haines (“A New Path”), and you will find that we are slowly loosing our most cherished traits of intelligence, beauty, and athletic prowess but more importantly how we can reverse these trends. Not to mention that mental illness and depression / anxiety are ramping up BIG TIME, but used to be almost non-existent in properly nurished peoples. Check out the TEDx talk by Julia Rucklige titled “the surprisingly dramatic role of nutrition in mental health” to get an idea about this. Do yourself and future generations a HUGE service and learn about these subjects before we get much farther, again when you know what to look for the effects of modern life are practically a form of barbaric brutality we have self-selected. Hopefully this rant helps at least some of the comment readers in productive ways. PS: I cured myself of some lifelong life-threatening allergies to certain foods based on what the mentioned sources helped me learn. I eat them now without issue, regularly. Almost forgot to mention a crucial additional source worth it’s weight in gold: “Nurishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon.
The true paleodiet: dropping someone in the forest with only a bow and arrows.
If I were to follow the paleo diet to a T, wouldnt a percentage of my caloric intake be human flesh? Sweet sweet cannibalism!
Bread was made out of desperation not because it was the best choice maybe the best choice When comparing two evils but still not because it’s the better
One thing we do know about today’s hunter gatherers as well as ancient paleo man. They don’t and didn’t eat salt. That is the one common thread among modern healthy diets no matter what they are. They all eliminate processed food where 75/80 percent of our sodium comes from.
Yes BUT there ability to metabolise starch did not increase their chance of reaching reproducing. Therefore it was not a mutation naturally selected, increasing it’s gene frequency in the gene pool, hence, not evolution. More likely the process is an adaptation or switching process of genes already in the pool. Maybe. Possibly.?
“Paleo diet” does indeed sound very gimmicky, but the premises sound a bit similar to ketogenic diets. How does that compare to paleo and frankly any diet out there?
As far as I understand, ketogenic diets are based on science and there’s a whole subreddit dedicated to compiling information and scientific studies on ketosis and ketogenic diets. Go to reddit.com/r/ketoscience to see what I’m tslking about. You can discuss keto there meaning it’s not a propaganda safe space.
when youre trying to survive in the wild, im sure you wouldnt care if your food is Non-GMO, gluten free, 5g of sugar…. you would eat whatever you could find.
I only got 5 minutes in, then decided not to waste my time. For someone so intelligent and educated, it’s a shame she has zero clue about the intent of the principles of the paleo diet.
While we don’t make our own Vitamin C, many people from all over the ate meat only, or mostly meat, with no adverse effects, and without taking Vitamin C supplements. Besides many of the primitive cultures that thrived mostly on meat, there are also many people today that are carnivores, some more than twenty years. Vilhjalmur Stefansson lived for more than 10 years with the Inuit, eating only their native diet, and thrived. He also subjected himself to a year long experiment, under supervision by Scientists, and all his bloodwork, etc… was perfect no adverse effects.
I guess if we had to chase our food for about 10 miles every day or every other day we would be a lot fitter.
Which kind of research those guys have done? Some of the tribes that they studied, like the Masaai and the cultures of New Guinea, are in fact composed by farmers and herders, not hunter gatherers…
Thank you ancestors for evolving to eat almost anything you could find. It now lies on our current generation to tweak our DNA. To subsist entirely on Pizza, Chocolate, and Soda!
I know this is an old video, but wasn’t the Paleo diet more focused on eating unproccessed food rather than era specific?
good, but I ask, what was the diet in Europe? We know that the Neanderthals are barley, and that the species Homo is omnivorous. Plenty of wild greens, roots, nuts, seed,berries, csrob pods, acorns, shellfish, insects, eggs, fungi,flesh,fish,and fowl. How was it prepared? Small game and the organs of large game were cooked, the meat of large game was dried. Honey would have been on the list. Drying food is one of the best ways to preserve it, and it usually doesn’t require cooking. So,this is my take on a Palæo Diet.
So what you’re telling me is that humans can eat a varied diet so long as they get all the required nutrients? That thing we’ve been doing for the last 800 000 years? that thing I’ve been doing for 22 years and been healthy as a goat? But a trendy magazine my roommate bought that I read on the toilet said that carbs and fat make me fat? I just don’t know what to believe…
Ya try only eating whole plant foods and see how you deteriorate
She does not mention B12 or the fact that our zygomatic arch begin to become smaller as we consumed more meat. We do not have large arches anymore like our ancestors who ate more plants. She also doesn’t mention our brain compacity that increased from 300cc in Australopithics to 1400 in Neanderthals because of the increase of animal consumption. Also our digestive systems are short like carnivors. If we were majority plant eater our stomachs would be large and swollen like the great apes due to a large digestive track. Seasonal eating and if possible eating food from where your genetics are from are best.
I did the paleo diet for about 4-5 months and it really helped going cold turkey on the sugar that was in my diet.
Just when I thought we were becoming more human here comes paleo diet to bring us back to a primitive era.
Paleolithic people also had a feature of their diet that nobody seems to mention: food availability was spotty, not around the clock.
Paleo diet is the least inflammatory and most sustainable diet out there. We evolved to eat mostly meat. 80% meat and 20% fruits and vegetables.
Yeah, but the paleo diet is just a name for a high protein diet with plenty of veggies,few breads and little sugar. Generaly that is a healty diet when compared to the high sugar diet of most people in rich country’s. Paleo is just a reference to the idealized mountain men of ye olden times for marketing purposes. So this is kinda low hanging fruit guys.
