3. It's Not Just About What's on the Plate

Short sprints can simulate running away from predators or chasing down prey. Callisthenic moves like push-ups, squats and lunges help to work a variety of muscles that would've come in handy in the pre-civilization days. Pull-ups mimic the moves that would've been necessary to get oneself up into a tree to forage for fruits and certain nuts.

The Paleo diet eliminates many of the foods and beverages that are considered to be junk food. By dropping those empty calories and consuming a less processed diet, some followers may experience weight loss. This is particularly true for those who pay close attention to caloric intake and work to burn more calories than are consumed.
