Cordain's reconstruction of paleo diet is basically high protein
and low to moderate fat.  See
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind9811&L=paleodiet&P=R62

The point where he is basic agreement with AHA guidelines is on
consumption of highly saturated animal fats, which he regards as
disease-causing and not very abundant in a true paleo diet.  When
fat intake is low, of course, energy needs must be made up by
fruits and vegetables.
