Basic diet tips

When you see pictures of cavemen or tribesman what do they have in common?  They always appear to be lean, strong, and fast.  The few tribes that still remain all have those characteristics as well.   Arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, depression, and hypertension are all rarities for them.  Their secret lies in their diet.  This diet is referred to as the Paleolithic Diet.

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)
  • 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 know what you are thinking, it definitely won't hurt to try.)

Just like you train your muscles, you need to train your mind and body to make the right choices when it comes to what you eat.  Start slowly and substitute one meal per day with the correct foods listed above.  Its a change, a lifestyle change , so give it time.  Keep with it and you will soon see and feel the results of havinga big increase in your vitamin intake and a huge decrease in your toxin intake.
