Cordain's reconstruction of paleo diet is basically high protein
and low to moderate fat. See

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.
