ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is to estimate the effect of paleo diet and to determine current knowledge on
the same and to create awareness on Palaeolithic diet. The Palaeolithic diet is called the paleo
diet, caveman diet or Stone Age diet is mainly based on foods presumed to be available to
Palaeolithic humans. Like other famous diets, the paleo diet is promoted as a way to improve
health. Limited data exist on metabolic effects on humans eating the die, though the available
data suggest following this diet may lead to improvements in terms of body composition and
metabolic effects as compared to the typical western diet. The diet is a fast growing trend and
hence changes and awareness have to be made. Even though the diet is very diverse, most people
don't follow correct diet patterns and tend to eat the wrong food. Therefore, it is imperative that
awareness is generated about the diet. Articles are collected and then a detailed study was made,
the results have been given accordingly. We have come to know the preference of diet among
the people is paleo. Palaeolithic diet is more preferred because of its benefits.
