Abstract: Eaton and Konner, more than thirty years ago, proposed that the evolutionary discordance between our genome, which hardly changed since the paleolithic era, and our contemporary diet was one of the main causes of some chronic metabolic diseases in western societies. It has been suggested that reversion to the paleolithic diet (PD) could be proposed to correct or prevent the development of diseases of civilization which is observed in contemporary hunter-gatherer (HG) populations after westernization (reduced physical activity and consumption of an energy-dense diet). There is no universal paleolithic dietary pattern, but a wide variety of possibilities according to the climate and geographical latitude. Notwithstanding the detailed type of diets, PDs have in common the complete exclusion of refined cereal grains, dairy products, refined fats and sugars.
