The Stone Age Caveman Diet

Caveman Diets - Do They Work?

In recent years, the trend of society tends to be returning back to the basics of life - from diet to home decorating. Caveman Diets generally support fruit, protein and vegetables and omit dairy products, foods high in fat, and carbs - which include most anything edible that is white.

The theory appears to stem from the 'possible bounty' presented to cavemen in days of old. Just the basics, ma'am.

Do these diets work? The Atkins and South Beach Diets are very closely related to caveman-type diets. Many people have achieved great weight loss success with these diets and are able to maintain their new weight.

These type diets make it quite easy for the average dieter to track 'what to/what not to' eat by categorizing foods into simple slots that the dieter can quickly relate to.  The obstacle is this....

When we eat, some foods depend upon other foods for processing and in the storing of certain vitamins that are necessary for optimum health. Omitting certain foods, more specifically entire food groups, from the diet can create a potential for digestive problems - as well as other bodily functions.

Our bodies are much like cars. The key turns over the engine, just like food starts our metabolism. But without water, oil, a battery, and air in the tires, the car won't run efficiently - and sometimes not at all. And that's how diets are - sometimes they work, and sometimes not at all. If you are thinking about embarking on a particular diet, meet with your physician and see if that diet is right for you.
