ImpactModerate impact

While discussions show influence on dietary choices, they are mostly among interested individuals rather than affecting broader policy or clinical practice.

Abstract in brief

  • A study comparing a Palaeolithic diet with a Mediterranean-like diet found that the Palaeolithic diet led to a greater reduction in plasma glucose levels over 12 weeks in patients with ischemic heart disease and glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes.
  • The improvement in glucose tolerance from the Palaeolithic diet was independent of changes in waist circumference or weight, suggesting it may directly influence glucose regulation.
  • Overall, the results indicate that diets based on foods available during human evolution might be more effective for improving glucose tolerance than more modern dietary patterns.]

A 12 weeks study found that people with diabetes or prediabetes who followed a paleolithic diet combining lean fresh meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, eggs, & nuts had a 26% reduction in blood sugar levels. Bottom line: Cut down your carb intake. #nutrition https://t.co/TnC4WlpZJM

Here the evidence is much more sparse. I´ve been trying to find direct comparisons. 1 trial compared Paleo to a "Mediterranean" diet. Despite differences in post prandial glucose, A1c wasnt significantly different between the groups. https://t.co/b3ogiXboXS

@Plant_proof @MattMadore576 @HermanPontzer Although in that trial they had to overfeed the Paleo Diet arm to stop them losing weight. A huge benefit of Paleo is it satiating feature. So I like this trial too, which had ad libitum feeding and Paleo group ate 450 calories less than Med Diet group.https://t.co/7z7jkrjOy1
