The Paleo diet is a dietary method that is gaining popularity among the general population
due to potential weight loss and disease prevention benefits. The feasibility of the Paleo
diet and the effectiveness of self-administration in improving cardiometabolic disease risk
factors remains uncertain. Examination od cardiometabolic disease risk factors in overweight,
physically inactive adults before and after 8-weeks of an ad libitum self-administered Paleo
dietary intervention. Methods: Overweight, physically inactive but otherwise healthy adults
habitually eating a traditional Western diet follow an ad libitum self-administered Paleo
diet for 8-weeks. Blood samples were analyzed for fasting cardiometabolic disease biomarkers.
Participants complete three-day dietary recalls prior to, and during weeks 4 and 8 of the
