Pros and Cons
Following a paleo diet can bring some health benefits. By consuming more whole foods, people tend to cook more at home and spend less time eating out. In addition, the intake of artificial ingredients and processed foods can be reduced. These changes can help improve overall health, reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues, and promote weight loss.
Nevertheless, the paleo diet is rather restrictive. Scientists do not recommend the strict elimination of healthy foods like dairy or grains. In fact, cutting them out of your diet would be associated with nutrition deficiencies. Compared to other diets, it is also expensive and time-consuming. [4]
