Understanding the Caveman Diet

The Caveman Diet is a combination of three exceptionally healthy diets: the Paleo Diet, the Zone Diet and calorie restriction. Explanations of these diets are given below.

The Paleo Diet

The Paleo Diet, developed by scientist Dr. Loren Cordain, means eating the way our caveman and cavewoman ancestors ate.

For tens of thousands of years, humans lived as hunter-gatherers. They ate what they could hunt, fish and gather -- mostly vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, nuts and eggs. Our bodies are adapted to eat these natural foods.

When you eat foods that cavemen didn't eat, like sugar, bread, pasta, vegetable oils and dairy products, your health and the quality of your life can suffer.

This can show up as being overweight and having difficulty losing weight, a poor immune system, an increased need for sleep, and chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. These problems are now showing up among children, too.

When you stick to eating caveman foods and avoid non-caveman foods, your meals will fill you up sooner and you'll be less likely to overeat. This will help you to lose weight and keep it off.

Caveman foods are also the highest-nutrients foods. Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Wild and free-range meats, poultry and seafood provide important protein that keeps you satisfied and helps you to maintain a strong immune system and build and repair muscles. Nuts, avocados and healthy oils provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and nutrients that help keep you satisfied and healthy.

Eating like our caveman ancestors ate just makes sense. It's healthy, packed with nutrition and satisfying. The foods recommended by the Paleo Diet form the basis of the food recommendations on the Caveman Diet.

The Zone Diet

One of the most important recent findings in weight-control is that eating protein, fat and carbohydrates together keeps people more satisfied than eating any of these foods alone.

This balanced way of eating was introduced to the public in 1995 by Dr. Barry Sears as the Zone Diet.

On the Zone Diet, each meal contains about 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat. The Zone Diet is also known as the "40-30-30 diet."

When you eat 40-30-30 meals, you can enjoy benefits like:

• More energy
• Increased alertness
• Clearer thinking
• Better mood
• Increased resistance to disease
• Reduced carbohydrate cravings
• Reduced over-all food cravings

• Easy weight loss
• Increased muscle mass
• Improved athletic performance
• Improved cholesterol
• Improved triglycerides
• Decreased symptoms of diabetes
• Reduced autoimmune disease symptoms
• Reduced arthritis symptoms
• Less depression
• Less anxiety
• Fewer mood swings
• Improved sleep patterns
• Decreased need for sleep
• Decreased jet lag on trips
• Improved sexual performance
• Decreased PMS symptoms
• Decreased hot flashes

These amazing health benefits make the Zone Diet one of the healthiest diets in the world.

The Zone Diet is recommended by many fitness coaches and is the diet used by numerous Hollywood celebrities to get a toned, slim body, great skin and a youthful appearance.

Calorie Restriction

Since the 1930's, scientists have known that restricting calories in animals results in dramatically longer life and better health. Experimental observations in mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, monkeys and other animals over the past decades have led to the conclusion that calorie restriction holds the key to a longer, healthier life.

Reducing calories by 20% to 40% dramatically reduces the rate of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, arthritis and a host of other diseases, plus increases lifespan by as much as 40%.

Like other animals, humans benefit from calorie restriction. It's believed that the mechanisms that make calorie restriction work operate similarly in all species.

The Caveman Diet is a calorie-restricted diet. When you follow it, you can reduce your calories by 20% to 40% without feeling hungry. This is because the Caveman Diet follows the Zone 40-30-30 formula, which automatically reduces your appetite, allowing you to eat less while still staying satisfied.

When you follow the Caveman Diet, you can enjoy all of the benefits of calorie restriction -- a longer life, better health, reduced risk of disease, more energy, clearer thinking and a better mood, while enjoying the delicious, natural foods eaten by our caveman ancestors.

The Caveman Diet: Designed to be the Healthiest Diet in the World

The Caveman Diet combines the food choices of the Paleo Diet with the principles of balance and moderation espoused by the Zone Diet and calorie restriction.

Because of this, the Caveman Diet may be the healthiest diet in the world.
