"I believe the Paleo Diet works for a number of reasons, the most important being something that has nothing to do with anthropology or physiology:
It’s not just because the Paleo Diet teaches your body to use stored fat for energy rather than sugar. Nor is it just because it’s very difficult to overeat on the Paleo Diet, which almost always leads to weight loss. It’s not just because it can help with things like diabetes and other physiological issues (like multiple sclerosis).
It’s because it’s damn simple to understand, makes logical sense, removes the need for counting calories, and removes willpower from the equation. Just like a workout, the pretty good routine you follow is better than the perfect one you don’t. Similarly, the Paleo Diet isn’t perfect, but it works for many and it’s easy to follow.
