The paleo diet is based on the premise that we should eat like our carnivore ancestors did in the last 150,000 years. This basically means no dairy (milk, cheese, yoghurt, cream etc), no grains (wheat, rice, corn, oats etc), no pulses and of course no sugar and no alcohol, plus lots of daily physical activity.

A study has recently reported that coffee could help you lose fat by kickstarting a process called thermogenesis in humans. Thermogenesis is basically the process of burning fat in one of two special types of fat tissue called ‘brown fat’ and ‘beige fat’. But what is brown fat and what in God’s name is beige fat? And did you know that there is also a thing called white fat?
