**4.5 Paleo diet**

The idea behind this diet is to eat the way early humans did before modern farming. The diet consists of no dairy, refined sugar, grains, or legumes, and no processed vegetable oils like soybean oil or canola oil. You can have fruits and vegetables, lean meats (preferably grass-fed), fish, nuts, and seeds. Using this, diet studies show this eating strategy can improve blood sugar and diabetes (thepaleodiet.com [44]).
