Modified Paleo Diets
You can use the paleo diet as a starting point, adding in a few other healthy foods like grass-fed butter and gluten-free grains. Even small amounts of red wine and dark chocolate can be added.
Water should be your drink of choice when following the paleo diet. Many people also drink tea and coffee, which is high in antioxidants.
