Conclusions: These first randomized controlled trials on the effects of a Paleolithic diet show beneficial effects on risk factors for cardiovascular disease and satiety. The major conclusions for each paper were: I. Leptin resistance may be a metabolic sign of human maladaptation to dietary cereals, which could partly explain the observed global association between cardiovascular disease and agrarian-based dietary habits. Lectins could be a cereal constituent with sufficient properties to cause leptin resistance. II. A Paleolithic diet confers higher insulin sensitivity, lower C-reactive protein and lower blood pressure than a cereal-based diet in domestic pigs. III. A Paleolithic diet improves glucose tolerance more than a Mediterranean-like diet. IV. A Paleolithic diet is more satiating per calorie than a Mediterranean-like.
