What is paleo?

If there are people still reading this blog, you may have wondered "what is paleo?" Paleo, short for paleolithic, without getting into too much detail is basically eating like a caveman. Quoting my boyfriend's blog, "basically, it answers the question - what did caveman eat? Well, they ate meat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruit. If you can't eat it in less than an hour after killing it or picking it, then you shouldn't be eating it. In other words, if it doesn't grow, or eat things that grow, then don't eat it."
My coworker asked me if I was worried about getting the proper nutrients. Would I have to take a multivitamin? If you were to follow the paleo diet properly, you should get all the vitamins, nutrients and minerals from its natural source. The only supplements I plan on taking will be fish oil and vitamin D.
Below I have added a youtube video explaining it a little better.
