It’s time to leave the Paleo Diet in the past: Recent studies have failed to support its claims
SalonThe Paleo Diet urges us to mimic our prehistoric ancestors' food choices. The Paleo Diet's health claims, Author provided While the Paleo Diet has many adherents, clinical research has yet to substantiate its purported health benefits. This makes the Paleo Diet lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein than conventional recommended diets, such as those promoted by Health Canada and the United States Department of Agriculture. That the macronutrient ranges of hunter-gatherer diets overlap government-approved macronutrient ranges casts doubt on the idea that the Paleo Diet is healthier than conventional recommended diets. It's time to leave the Paleo Diet in the past Given that the rationale for adopting the Paleo Diet isn't supported by the available scientific research and its macronutrient recommendations aren't scientifically robust, it is, we suggest, not surprising that the diet's purported health benefits haven't been supported by clinical studies.
