What is a cave man diet?

Answer 1

The essentials of the Paleolithic Diet are:

Eat none of the following:

· Grains- including bread, pasta, noodles

· Beans- including string beans, kidney beans, lentils, peanuts, snow-peas and peas

· Potatoes

· Dairy products

· Sugar

· Salt

Eat the following:

· Meat, chicken and fish

· Eggs

· Fruit

· Vegetables (especially root vegetables, but definitely not including potatoes or sweet potatoes)

· Nuts, eg. walnuts, brazil nuts, macadamia, almond. Do not eat peanuts (a bean) or cashews (a family of their own)

· Berries- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.

Try to increase your intake of:

· Root vegetables- carrots, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, Swedes

· Organ meats- liver and kidneys (I accept that many people find these unpalatable and won’t eat them)

Expect some minor tuning problems- don’t worry, you can deal with them:

· It will take some time for your body to adjust to the changes after all these years. There is a huge surge in your vitamin intake. There is a huge decrease in your toxin intake.

· Start with breakfast for few days, as this is the easiest place to start as most people eat it at home, and it tends to be the least Paleolithic meal of the standard 3. For weight loss you will eventually need to reduce your carbohydrate intake, but ignore this initially as most people have high carb intakes and this can continue for the first few days that you are on this diet. If you reduce too quickly then you may fell unwell. Then move on to lunch or dinner for a few days and then to all 3 meals. If you work, you will often find it easier to take your lunch to work.

· Keep reading more about the diet- and read it again. Remember, there are many dietary myths that will need to be unlearned. Particularly, please read the section on fats several times. Knowledge on fats has exploded over the last decade and there is a realization in mainstream nutrition that omega 3 fats are critical to good health. It is very important to ensure that you have an adequate intake of these. The low fat diet craze of the 90’s was well intentioned but many people "threw out the baby with the bath-water"- most people reduced omega 3 fat intake as well as other fats, and sometimes even increased omega 6 fats. There is now a realization that the low fat diet theory of the 90’s doesn’t often work (it has about a 6% success rate like most other diets) and that the vast majority of the Western population need to increase their omega 3 intake and decrease their omega 6 intake. Even if you don’t end up on a Paleolithic Diet, you will benefit from a better appreciation of fats.

Answer 3

Looks u r fed up with Ur own diet and wanna change to cave man's one. But it won't be possible for u to do so because they eat whatever they get from the nature and their diet is mostly raw. Yet if u wanna try a change, I wish u were in the Army doing some survival course where u r taught how to survive on cave man's sort of diet.

Answer 4

I see cavemen as having an omnivore diet, "opportunistic." They'd hunt & also take advantage of any edible vegetation. I admire those ancient hunting skills, & also the ability to find whatever they could to supplement the meat. They established a social order, & scientific findings show that they cared for those who got injured. Those ancients deserve some respect.

Answer 6

To eat primarily meat. This is actually somewhat misleading as cave men also ate things they could find growing, like berries.

Answer 7

Avoid late night eating Because your metabolism slows down when you sleep

Answer 8

Nothing but meat, water and seeds. The weight will fall off you, but it isn't the healthiest diet for your liver. It overloads your liver because of all the protein.

Answer 9

Like everyone says, meat.
But meat that is barely cooked.

Like a blue steak.

Dinosaur sandwiches.
