THE CAVEMAN DIET - FOODS TO AVOID

BY GRAEME THOMPSON

While the official name is the Paleolithic diet, most people know it as the Caveman Diet

and it is quickly becoming one of the more popular diet plans in many health and fitness

circles. There is good reason why the diet is popular - it works and it is based on a

relatively simple plan. Specifically, it deals with eating foods and vegetables that would be

a staple of the cavemen that lived 2.5 million years ago.

Does that mean that the types of food you eat in this diet are tough to find? No, you will ne

be required to eat dinosaur meat. You would be eating meats, fruits, and vegetables that

are natural and common to the natural world. In short, chicken breast and salad would be

common items in such a diet. However, you would not be adding any ketchup or Caesar

salad dressing to the mix. Nor would you be drinking a soda with it and you certainly would

not be eating a slice of cake. After all, none of these things existed 2.5 million years ago.

That is the key to the food you want to avoid on such a diet. You want to stick with foods

from the Paleolithic era and stay away from those items that are products of the modern

era.

And the food of the modern era is certainly not what you want to deal with because they

are loaded with processed items. It is these processed components that are often the

villains that pack on the excess fat we all wish we could avoid. As such, anything that

would be considered an "evil construct" of the modern era needs to be avoided. This will

enhance your ability to drop weight quite significantly. So, what are some of the common

foods specifically best avoided? Here is a look:2

Anything with refined sugar is a real no-no. Refined sugars and their cheap cousins such

as corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup are best avoided since they do nothing but

pack on fat.

Any type of carbonated or processed beverage is to be avoided when engaging in this

diet. And alcohol is strictly forbidden since it is nothing but a health hazard and a high

source of calories.

Organic game meats are highly advised to eat but those meats that have additives and

processed ingredients need to be strictly avoided. Again, a common theme with this diet is

that you perpetually avoid eating anything with processed items in it. These are commonly

the source of rapid weight gain which is why they serve no purpose in a health conscious

diet.

Grains and dairy products are avoided because they were not used as a food source

during the era. Some may find the exclusion of these items curious since they are not

associated with harm to the diet. However, they can pack on weight and cause other

problems which are why the Caveman Diet eliminates them from the menu.

The Caveman Diet may seem restrictive in terms of its food choices but it really isn't.

There are many items you can eat. You just need to be mindful of those foods to avoid.
