The paleo diet has recently become popular amongst celebrities and regular people alike, as it calls for a strict diet consisting of nothing but fruits, vegetables, animal protein, nuts and seeds. This diet is said to promote a more healthy lifestyle, as it cuts out all processed foods that are generally the cause of unhealthy diets. If the many health benefits aren’t enough to persuade you to trade in your Cheetos for carrots, then maybe the names of the many stars that have adopted a paleo lifestyle will.
