Question

Kevin is considering a Paleo diet, and he asks you what you think about the diet. What should you tell Kevin?

Select one:

a. The Paleo diet is really just a form of a carb-restricted diet because it limits grains, legumes, and dairy, and carb-restricted diets tend to work in the short-term but are hard to maintain in the long-term.

b. There are no long-term clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of Paleo, but there are epidemiological studies indicating that individuals in Mediterranean and Asian regions consume carbohydrate-rich diets and live long, healthy lives.

c. Modern plants are not the same as their “wild ancestors,” so claiming to consume what hunters/gathers consumed is problematic.

d. A and B
