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

Paleo Diet is an eating plan that focuses on foods that were eaten by our ancestors during the Paleolithic Era, which lasted from 2.6 million years ago to 10,000 years ago. The idea behind this diet is that humans evolved in an environment where they had to hunt for their food, so we should eat like our hunter-gatherer ancestors did. This means avoiding processed foods, grains, legumes, dairy, sugar, and salt. Instead, focus on lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats.
