Here's one for my fellow cavemen (and women). I have been thinking about goint to school to become an over-the-road trucker but I still am not sure how healthy of a lifestyle it would be. The money is good and there are a few that I talk with who are able to maintain great health. The do it by exercising when not in the truck and taking food with them from home instead of eating at the truckstops. Does anyone here know of a caveman or woman who drives and is still able to follow the caveman diet and lifestyle?   Undecided

I see no reason why driving a truck and following a paleo lifestyle should be incompatible.  You'll have plenty of opportunities to exercise if you choose to do so, and it shouldn't be difficult to eat the right kinds of foods while on the job... (dried) meat, nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruit (nature's "fast food"), along with adequate water.  Good luck with your endeavors Smiley

I don't see why not. Just bring your own foods instead of buying fastfood  Smiley

If you suspect that statement to be true, then you'll probably want to know why it could be true. Well, this is what I have devoted my life to finding out, and I want to share with you everything i've learnt, as well as learn from you!
