What is the paleo diet, and how does it fit with vegetarian eating?

The paleo diet is based on foods thought to have been eaten before farming. The Harvard review of the paleo diet says it generally excludes grains, legumes, dairy and refined sugars. That means a vegetarian version relies on vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and, if you eat them, eggs.

Cutting out legumes and whole grains removes familiar plant protein and fibre sources, so planning matters. Nuts and seeds supply healthy fat and some protein but are energy-dense, and many people will need to add B12 and check iron and calcium.

Evidence for paleo diets is limited, and the Harvard review is a useful summary of what is and is not known. If you have kidney disease, diabetes or are pregnant, speak with your doctor before restricting food groups.
