I’ve been hearing a lot about the Caveman Diet lately. But do you know what it is?
It’s just the good stuff: vegetables, fruit, nuts, roots and meat – you know . . . the caveman diet. I wonder if Cavemen got Gout Attacks?
Probably not, the caveman diet sounds like all the stuff I’ve been saying all along.
The Caveman Diet is also called the “Paleolithic Diet”.
In our day and age, the “contemporary” caveman diet is based on our commonly available modern foods like meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts and does without all the grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.
Why is the Caveman Diet healthier for us?
It’s because the cereal crops that make up the bulk of our food were not available; the pre-farming diet contained fewer carbohydrates, less fat and more vegetables. Our bodies were not designed to digest grains and dairy products . . . and they still aren’t.
What’s different about the caveman diet from other diets? The modern bullshit diets of today go against the grain of our natural instincts. Controlling your food intake down to the knats ass isn’t in our genes and it’s been proven time and again that shit doesn’t work. In trying to do that you are sentenced to a never-ending chore of weighing and measuring.
How do I get on a Caveman Diet?
Good question. In snooping around about all the caveman diet stuff, I came across this website by Matt Emery, it called CavemanPower.com. Here’s what he said you can expect:
- lose weight
- increase your energy level
- detox your system
- sharpen your mind and your senses
- deepen your connection with your spirit
I’m in! The Caveman Diet sounds like a damn good way to live to avoid Gout too!

The year I ate raw was the healthiest of my life. Though one experiences around six weeks of detox and not looking or feeling so great, after that the skin takes on a youthful radiance, energy multiplies, food tastes inordinately better and less is required. Takes awhile to change food preparation habits, “Raw: The Uncook Book” is a great place to start.
Thanks Gloria – yes, it seems that getting back to where we started (or basics!) is what we all need to do again – Thanks for starting the conversation. Bert
