Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I'm easing into The Caveman Diet

Have you seen how fat some of those migrants are? That diet doesn’t work!

Eating more salads and fresh vegetables with meat, and cutting out carbs, especially flour and sugar or anything processed, has made a noticeable difference in how good we feel. Planning on getting some local beef to avoid all the industrial ag chemicals.

How does it differ from the Atkins diet?

Odd but true.

The gut microbiota that feed on the indigestible fiber in the lower GI, produce lactic acid, which in turn breaks down carbons and carcinogens, especially from highly processed or charred meat.

Prevents one of the most common cancers in men.

YOU MUST eat fiber to fart a lot.

Unless one is eating raw meat, flame cooking creates a condition unknown to ancestral man.

Fortunately, indigestible fiber resolves it along with several other miladies.

A half pound of cabbage/day is a good thing.

Home made sauerkraut. Just do it.

Solent green?

Threads like this always make me wonder, what happens if you push yourself away from the table. And lay off the booze! Would you need to diet then.

During the 28 month long Lewis and Clark expedition the main part of their daily diet was normally 9 lbs. of meat for each man. It required 4 deer, or an elk and a deer, or one buffalo per every day.

If you eat right you don't have to diet. Laying off the booze is always good for your health.

Shorten your life:
1) alcohol addiction [regulated and taxed]
2) sugar addiction [unregulated and untaxed]
3) smoking addiction [regulated and taxed]

Lots of folks do all three, then toss in huge amounts of caffeine, insufficient water intake, and a high volume of processed fast-food type items. Then they don't take in much actual nutrition on top of that. It's pretty wild when you think about it. I've read that this sort of thing has been proven to make lab rats fatter and unhealthier than nearly any other "diet" out there. Makes sense. Take in loads of damaging stuff and don't mitigate it with much good stuff and see what happens. A person can go to the average WalMart or McDonalds and literally see what happens, sadly.

They carried at least 70 lbs each and hiked 20 or more miles a day for months. No one got sick or died

Along with fatty red meat and eggs, one of the healthiest foods on the planet.

And easy to make.

all of these diets are pretty much the same......bob

Did cavemen stop at Starbucks or brew their own coffee?

Essentially the same diet, i.e., that laid out in his book. All the packaged Atkins Diet foods are pure commercialism. None of it would be recommended by the actual diet.

Eat fish, crabs, clams, mussels and a variety of fruits and vegetables! Some red meat and fowl round off a good lifestyle diet. Then exercise daily! My basic diet!

Excellent point. Humans through pre-history ate a huge amount of fish and seafood. Fish and eggs are the only animal proteins without a longevity penalty. As far as "pushing back from the table", one of the problems I have had getting along on a low-carb diet and farming is getting enough calories. Part of that is feeling fresh and strong throughout the day. If you burn the calories with an active life style, without the carbs, you start seeking out higher fat food sources instinctively. There's no need to "watch your weight".

A nice chunk of King salmon with some butter sauteed brussels' sprouts sounds really, really good right about now.
