The paleo diet has become very popular in recent times as it takes a look back at our great ancestors who maintained a strong physique while staying healthy. The reason the caveman diet works so well is that it is so simple and there is only one thing to remember: Only eat food that you can farm or kill. anything else is totally out and this means all processed foods, refined sugars are out (you can always get your sugars from fruit)

The caveman in that day was very active and finding food was not always an easy task, be it hunting wild animals or searching for berries. The problem with today’s lifestyle is that we are not active and are no longer required to go out and get our food and our food is brought to us in huge piles ready for our consumption.

The first step of the Paleolithic diet plan is to avoid all man-made food products and truly step back to a simpler time when food actually tasted and looked like food. The next step is to maintain an active lifestyle, this does not mean that you have to spend hours on a cardio machine,

the best way is to get your heart pumping by doing 15-20 minutes of high-intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. This will closely simulate the caveman lifestyle, as a lot of time is spent tracking and then sneaking up on prey, followed by short periods of high-intensity exercise.

Another great way to enjoy the paleo diet is to walk around your local neighborhood and look for edible wild herbs and berries, always make sure you know what you’re eating. I often find wild parsley in my neighborhood and add it to many of my caveman recipes.
