I did some research on the topic and it seems like a pretty legit diet. All it really involves is consumption of foods that were around 10,000 years ago, so lots of nuts, fruits, veggies, and meat. You’re not supposed to eat dairy, legumes, grains, or processed oils and foods. Check it out:
My problem is that I don’t EAT meat, so I’ve modified it in a way that I get plenty of fish and whey protein (I get that they didn’t have protein powder back in the day, but this is MY version, so back off). I’m also keeping some of the fake meats in my diet, which doesn’t fall into the purely-paleo path but keeps me fed and fit.
I’m eating lunch as I type right now, and it’s all fruits, veggies, and nuts. I know I sound like a rabbit, but it’s freakin’ delicious and fresh. The nuts cover good fats and proteins, and I’ve got plenty of vitamins and minerals coming in from the fruits and veggies.
I’m only doing this on a trial basis for now, but I like the results I’m already seeing. I feel great, my workouts are rockin’, and it seems like a good thing, so why not keep going?
I realize I might get bored of it after a while, but that’s what my weekends are for. Monday through Friday is all health when my Saturdays and Sundays are all pizza, fries, beer, and pancakes. Mmm, mmm. And I definitely cheat mid-week from time to time, depending on the occasion or how I feel.
Eating like a caveman isn’t so bad, and like anything, it gets easier the more you do it. I’m gonna run with it for now, and we’ll see what happens…
