Level II: Maintenance Level Level II of the Paleo Diet is structured around the 90-10 split. Two Open Meals are permitted each week; the rest of your meals are made up of modern Paleo foods. At this level, you should restrict or eliminate all of the transitional foods, except during your two Open Meals. As in Level I, all snacks should be chosen from the list of Paleo snacks (see "snacks" near the beginning of this chapter). Many people do quite well at this level and find that there's no need to move to the next level unless weight loss or health considerations are paramount.
