      Chapter 1: Introduction

      The Paleo or Paleolithic diet is without a doubt one of the most popular diets that have been developed in the recent past. While the idea may look new, its formulation is based on the eating ways of our Stone-Age ancestors.

      For many years (until around ten thousand years ago), the hunter-gatherers had a similar diet, as they only relied on foods that nature provided. Their foods were obtained from hunting wild animals and gathering fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. Scientists agree that the foods that were included in the diet of our ancestors were the most suitable for our metabolism. Our ancestors were tall, had better builds, and had bigger brains. Though they had a shorter life expectancy, that was due to outside factors such as harsh weather conditions, predatory animals, accidents, and infections. There were no degenerative or chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes or heart diseases. These diseases emerged after man shifted to agriculture.

      Today, most of our diets are agriculture-based. This is despite the fact that our genes haven’t changed enough to adapt to the agriculture-based diets. Most of the modern diseases are as a result of civilization as there is a mismatch between our lifestyle and our genetic makeup.

      An important point to note is that our Stone Age ancestors were physically active. They raced up and down hunting animals. On average, they walked 12 miles a day looking for food. When they spotted game, they would engage in bursts of running speeds and other quick activity. The bodies of our ancestors operated at maximum efficiency as they were fueled by healthy primal foods.

      In the recent past, there have been thorough studies on the dietary components of our ancestors. It has been noted that their phenomenal abilities were rooted in their diets as well as their lifestyles. They got proteins and essential fatty acids from meat from the wild animals and fish. Seeds and nuts were an important source of oil and essential fatty acids. Fruits and berries were a source of low-GI carbohydrates and other nutrients. Their diet had no grains, dairy products or processed food. These only came with agriculture and animal domestication.

      Nutritional experts who study the eating ways of the Paleolithic period suggest that on average, the diet of a gathering tribe consisted of two-thirds gathered foods and one-third hunted foods. Our ancestors got 65 percent of their total intake of energy from meat. It is important to note that there is a major difference between the meat from wild game and the meat that we eat today from domesticated animals. On average, the meat from wild animals contains less than 10 percent total fat. On the other hand, the domesticated animals have an average of 30 percent total fat. Another difference between the two types of meat is in the quality of makeup of the fatty acid in animals. Domesticated animals have saturated fats, unlike the wild animals that contain the higher amount of polyunsaturated fats. This means that the diet we consume today has 4 times fewer omega-3 fatty acids and one and a half times fewer monounsaturated fats. Our ancestors also consumed seeds and nuts that have omega-3 fatty acids, especially since they consumed them in their raw form. Eating them in their raw form ensured that they retained the heat-sensitive fats.

      The availability of meat in our Stone Age ancestors’ diet depended on the season and the hunting success. With no steady supply of animals all year-round, most of their foods came from uncultivated vegetable foods. These included berries, fruits, seeds, flowers, nuts, roots, leaves, and stalks.

      Another important fact to note about the diet of our ancestors is that their foods were not stored for long. Therefore, the food was consumed fresh after the forage or hunt. They also had varied and diverse foods depending on the season, and the location in which they lived.

      There are certain key characteristics of the Paleolithic diet that are based on the diet of our ancestors. These are:

      * A caloric intake of around 65 percent coming from eating the parts of wild fish and game that is edible.

      * A significant amount of the diet consisting of seeds, nuts, fresh fruits, leaves, flowers and bulbs. The foods were eaten raw, and this maximized their ability to retain nutrients and thus prevent diseases.

      * Insignificant amount of grain. The small seeds and grains from the diet of our ancestors were never ground or milled, nor were they cooked.

      * When present, there was a very small amount of sodium chloride.
