"What did people eat for dinner tens of thousands of years ago? Many advocates of the so-called Paleo diet will tell you that our ancestors' plates were heavy on meat and low on carbohydrates — and that, as a result, we have evolved to thrive on this type of nutritional regimen. The diet is named after the Paleolithic era, a period dating from about 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago when early humans were hunting and gathering, rather than farming.

A coworker started doing the Paleo diet and I said, well, potatoes are in! Then they are like: no potatoes. I said, what can be more Paleo than digging a tuber from the ground?
They said low carb and Quinoa was OK so I started making Quinoa muffins, Carrot Cake, Almond Flour cookies, etc. |
