I've been hearing a lot about a new diet fad called Paleo Diet. What is it and does it work?

The Paleo Diet is an eating plan that focuses on eating foods that are considered to be the types of foods humans would have eaten during the Paleolithic era, which lasted from 2.6 million years ago until 10,000 years ago. It's based on the idea that our bodies are adapted to these ancient diets and therefore we should eat like our ancestors did. Proponents claim that this way of eating can help people lose weight, improve their health, and even reduce inflammation in the body. However, many experts say there isn't enough scientific evidence to support those claims.
