Hi all

Just seeing how everyone is getting on with doing the caveman diet, are you still having energy to exercise? Are there major food cravings? or does it actually take your body back to new again?

all tips and advice would help

Danz,

Hello, I've been on this since the start of Feb, had really positive results so far.Any questions, just fire away, there are plenty of people on here who are supportive and have good advice.

No food cravings for me that I have noticed
Energy. It seems to be a lot easier to get up in the morning and I'm not lagging at work in the Afternoon.
Not sure about new, but it certainly made my body feel better after a day on it.

been on this diet for about 2 years now, its been wonderful to me Smiley

food cravings yes, but only because I am pregnant hahaha  Tongue I tend to crave fats though, lots and lots of fats.
energy died down once winter started, but as summer approaches I am feeling it come back full force! winter always is a pain for me when it comes to working out and keeping energized.
each day that I am on this diet i feel amazing and fresh! like I can tackle the world, good feeling  Smiley

Hi Dan,  I have been following this for just over 4 weeks and feel the best I have done in years, and also the smallest I have been, already!?, I haven't had any cravings and my energy has increased dramatically. I can't rave on about it enough.

Good luck with yours, if you have any queries, don't hesitate to post. I have had such great advice and support from these great 'cavemen'.

Hey Danz,

welcome to the forum mate. I've been following this way of life for a few weeks now, and i can honestly say i'm a changed man, and for the better. it's got lots of advantages, not only health benefits, but also i've experienced a comforting sense of well-being. all i need to do now is to pull my finger out and get exercise into my day lol. i've slipped a couple of times with my cravings, and consequently, i paid for it with feeling like crap afterward or the morning after. there are lots of +'s to this way of life, and i think the individual will take and gain different things from it, we're all different after-all. Give it a go, you'll never look back  Wink

Hi guys,,,
     Usually the Caveman diet is known as Paleolithic diet.Now a days paleo diet is a short word that replaces the caveman diet.
Yeah one of my friend is using this diet and he has a routine of exercise,mostly one hour exercise in a day.

I'm no grains of course. No milk(I have sinus issues on milk), very little cheese, goat cheese mainly. Sometimes too much fruit and nuts I think but I'm cutting back. Steaks, fish, shrimp, lots of eggs(free range birds), bacon of course. And of course lots of veggies and Greek salads(I love olives). Not big on Chicken, I might eat it a few times a year. Love rabbit, dove, and really good salmon but that depends on budget sometimes  Grin
