I am against 'diets' in general, especially one that eliminates food groups. I am an omnivore and I believe in moderation. I eat whole fresh foods, good fats,lean proteins, whole grains and lots of fruit and veggies. I have maintained my weight for a very long time, my doctor marvels over my blood work, and I have a ton of energy and exercise quite a bit.
I go out to eat and enjoy a variety of foods and I drink wine almost nightly. I wouldn't trade my eating habits for paleo or your ridiculous fruit diet if you paid me.
Apart from the whole grains it sounds like you are already on a Paleo diet.

What LuckyDog is listing isn't "a Paleo diet." It's not any diet at all. It's what we used to call "healthy, balanced, variety of food" back in the 1970's, y'know, before teh Intrawebs was invented by Al Gore.
I'm starting to sense a political element just under the surface of this topic..
A lifestyle of eating healthy fruits vegetables meats ,seafoods and nuts is a healthy lifestyle no matter what you call it, if stuffing your face with burgers,fries,pizza and deep fried foods is preferable then best of luck with that lifestyle choice.

You should consider what conditions got me this far from the SAD diet - before ridiculing. Some of us couldn't get away with the SAD diet. I suffered enough. Now I consider it a blessing, as the 2nd half of my life will be much healthier than yours.
It's scientifically wrong to think we're supposed to eat everything. There are cultures that'd say your diet is lacking in monkey brains.
Kinda hard to elaborate without going off topic but lets say the unneeded Al Gore inference gives me a hunch.
The Paleo diet itself is a lot easier to sum up as an eating lifestyle than to say my diet consists of fruits,vegetables,meat,seafood and nuts. every one is on some form of diet even if its called "healthy, balanced, variety of food diet.

: diet;
the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.
I've always preferred the term "traditional diet", i.e. the types of foods that humans would eat if there were no aisles of packaged and refined "foods" and "food-like" products available. Basically, the closest we can come to having to hunt, forage, and grow our own natural whole foods while acknowledging we live in the modern era.
Your Paleo ancestors ate as much meat as they could.
When pressed, they would even eat each other.
The Iceman, 5,000 years old, was filled with goat meat when he was murdered.
Maybe he was murdered by vegetarians
