Eat Like a Caveman

One of the keys to dropping body fat quickly was my discovery of a Palaeolithic eating plan. The concept behind this way of eating is not based on new research (well not in the purest sense), or new fad diets but instead on a way we, as human beings are genetically designed to eat. Even though our foods have changed a lot over the last 10,000 years our genetic make up has not change at all from that of our Palaeolithic ancestors.

I first came across this concept when I studied the methods and ideas of Paul Chek and William Wilcott. Once I Applied these methods I started getting better results with my clients almost instantly. In the pursuit of finding an even better way I have recently moved closer towards the teachings of Charles Poliquin and within the last 6 years I must have read over 1000 academic journals and books. Combined with 6 years of applied practice and gathering my own data since April 2009 I can honestly say that this is most effective way I have come across to improve health and reduce body fat!

Following a Palaeolithic diet (Caveman) is not actually that difficult. You simply eat from the following 5 food groups:

1. Meat (lean)
2. Fish
3. Poultry
4. Fruit and Vegetables
5. Nuts and Seeds

I make sure i eat protein at every meal so never eat carbohydrates on their own and NEVER EVER eat processed food! All carbohydrates I do eat I try to always go for foods under 50GI and those that are packed with antioxidants.

I allow myself a cheat day once per week and by doing so find it very easy to follow these basic principles.
