12 Diets That Have Worked and Stood the Test of Time

4.      The Paleo Diet

The paleo diet is based on the eating patterns of our Paleolithic ancestors. It is a more restrictive diet that eliminates dairy, legumes and grains completely. The focus is on consuming natural foods including a variety of plant and animal foods.

This diet restricts all processed foods and encourages the consumption of whole, unprocessed foods instead. When done right, it is a balanced way of eating that gives you all the right nutrients without a sense of deprivation.
