Caveman Diet
You may have overheard folks discussing the caveman diet or the paleo diet, but you're not sure what they mean. They're both the same thing: a Paleolithic diet centred on reconnecting with our more fierce predecessors, the cavemen of the Paleolithic era. So much in today's culture is suspect: long-lasting packaged foods, chemicals you've never heard of, and a plethora of other highly processed delicacies that have made society fatter than it was previously. All of this is avoided by the diet, which returns its adherents to their roots.
Paleo diet entails consuming only foods that cavemen would have had access to, such as meat, eggs, vegetables, nuts, and fruit. Cavemen would not have eaten something that has been treated and will keep for a long time without spoiling.
What's the point of going through all this trouble? It's a fantastic protein-rich diet that can help people lose weight and improve their health. Let's take a deeper look at the caveman diet and see what you can and can't consume.
The Basics
Meat \sEggs\sVegetables

a few nuts
Oils that are good for you
Meat
The paleo diet relies heavily on lean meat. It has a high protein content and is low in fat. It's difficult to go wrong with meat, but keep the salt and chemicals to a minimum. Chicken is delicious, but battered and fried chicken isn't. Fish is also a good source of protein. Let's take a deeper look at the various sorts of meat available to you:
Beef
Chicken
Pork
Lamb
Goat
Turkey
Bacon
Venison
Seafood
Salmon
Jerky
Bass is a type of fish.
Crab
Ribs
Eggs
Any type of egg will suffice. It's a delicious morning item that may be prepared in a variety of ways. A delicious omelette with meat and vegetables is a delicious way to start the day.
Vegetables
There is no such thing as a limit when it comes to vegetables. While all veggies are delicious, the following are among the best:
Peppers
Asparagus
Broccoli
Spinach
Carrots
Kale
Cauliflower
Fruit
When it comes to fruit, berries are the greatest. Fruit contains a lot of sugar, so you don't want to eat it as much as you would meat and vegetables, but it's still an important element of your diet. The following are some excellent fruit choices:
Blueberries
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blackberries
Apples
Watermelon
Nuts
Hunting, fishing, harvesting berries, and finally foresting for nuts come to mind when you think about cavemen. They're a good source of protein, but keep legumes like peanuts out of your diet. The following are some fantastic nuts:
Walnuts
Brazil Nuts (Brazilian Nuts)
Macadamia Nuts are a type of nut that is native to Australia.
Hazelnuts
Pistachios
Coconuts
Oils
Another thing to remember is that oils are acceptable on the paleo diet. It's vital to keep in mind that this only applies to healthy oils like olive oil or coconut oil. Any processed oils, such as canola oil, should be avoided.
What to Avoid
Any dairy products, salt, potatoes, refined sugars, and wheat goods are all things you should avoid on the paleo diet. You should avoid legumes such as beans and peanuts as well.
While altering your diet can be difficult at first, staying with it for a few months and getting into the routine of knowing what to buy and how often to buy it at the store, as well as how to prepare a range of recipes using simple components, will set you up for a healthy life.
