Eat Like A Caveman

Dr. Linda Frasetto, MD. and her team selected people who were unhealthy in one way or another. They were given a specific diet of lean meat, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. The diet includes only healthy fats, such as those in nuts and seeds, as a caveman faced with an entire carcass and no refrigerator would have been likely to go only for the best cuts in as much quantity as he could physically eat before the meat went rotten or attracted scavengers or predators.

“Everyone’s blood pressure went down. In two weeks everybody’s cholesterol and triglycerides got better and the average drop was 30 points … That’s the kind of drop you get by taking Statins for six months. “

Robert Lustig, MD. an endocrinologist at UCSF, said that people on the diet have experienced a regression of their diabetes as a result, to the point they are effectively cured.

Dr. Kim Mulvihill, a reporter from CBS tried the diet herself and doctors recommended she should stay on the diet permanently. Her cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels dropped dramatically over a few weeks. After seven weeks she was no longer pre-diabetic, and by combining the so called paleo diet with a weight loss program she lost thirty pounds.

“Low Sugar, High fibre and you’ve got it nailed. That’s something you can do and its called … Eat … Real … Food.”

The one thing you can’t really do is to be on the paleo diet and vegetarian, because so much of the diet comes from meat and fish.
