Fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, etc.

So, not paleo then? I ignore paleo myself, but it does seem to get a lot of traction in rationalist circles; whether because it is actually beneficial or just a rationalist fad I don't know.

You know I've actually been researching paleo in the past couple of days and I've been really curious about it. I've noticed the interest rationalists have in it too. Honestly it doesn't seem that bad to me. I'm just curious if it has all the effects it claims.

I believe many or most of the health benefits of Paleo stem from the fact that it is usually low-carb (no grains, no refined carbohydrates, lots of fibrous vegetables and meat).

I dug up some good information about the health benefits of low-carb dieting & posted it here.
