While Paleolithic diet consists of some high protein,high fiber foods such as vegetables,eggs,nuts, berries, the overall nutrition is restricted for long term health as foods such as legumes,oils and other important elements are excluded.As there are no such clear evidence about the health risks or benefits of paleo diet, it is always recommended to follow any particular diet in supervision of a dietician or clinical expert.
