Here Is What You Can Eat
Your inner caveman loves meat. And think about it: he hunted. If he didn't bag a woolly mammoth or other animals, his clan went without protein. So those times when he did bring home the meat were not only times of celebration, but a renewal of healthy eating for them.
So it should come as no surprise that not many meats are off limits, as long as you choose the leanest variety you can find. In fact, lean meat is a vital part of this amazing lifestyle plan. Here's a comprehensive list so you can get a feel for how easy it is to choose your meat and still be confident your nourishing your inner caveman:
•Chuck steak
•Extra-lean hamburger (no more than 7 percent fat)
•Lean beef (trim it of all visible fat)
•London broil
•Lean pork
•Pork chops
•Pork loin
•Flank steak
•Top sirloin steak
The same guidelines apply to your eating habits for poultry. As long as you eat poultry lean, you're nourishing your body. Here are just a few examples:
•Chicken breast
•Game hen breasts
•Turkey breast
You may also be surprised to learn that you're encouraged to eat some types of organ meats in order to keep that caveman inside you healthy. Enjoy beef, lamb, pork, and chicken livers. You can also eat beef, lamb, and pork tongues.
Surprisingly, egg consumption is encouraged, as long as you keep it to a maximum of six eggs a week. If you love to eat eggs, consider making a two-egg omelet instead of three.
Don't think it'll satisfy you? Stuff it with plenty of fresh vegetables. It will not only fill you up, but you just may discover it's one of the most delicious ways to eat omelets. And it'll help ensure you'll get all the vegetables you need for the day!
Here Is What You Should Not
Oh, yes, there are certain meats you should avoid as you progress in your prehistoric diet journey. Most of these you'll discover are considered fatty. What are the worst offenders?
•Chicken wings, Breakfast sausage
•Deli meats, Fatty lamb chops
•Pork sausage, Bologna
•Salami, Fatty pork chops
•Chicken skin, Bacon
•Turkey skin, Pepperoni
•Spam (Of course, plenty of people don't recognize this as a meat to begin with!)
Prior to the advent of agriculture, Paleolithic man ate no cereal grains and no wheat, so these foods are off limits. Even if the grains say "gluten-free," they’re still not recommended for nourishing your inner caveman.
Theses grains, as well as processed foods made with them, are off limits. Need a list? I'm warning you, it's fairly long. But it sets up your parameters nicely. They include:
Barley
Corn
Millet
Oats
Rice
Rye
Wheat
Wild rice
Just for emphasis, any food made from these products can't be eaten as well. It's not that I'm trying to torture you by listing these, but it needs to be clearly stated what specific foods are not allowed. These include:
Amaranth, Corn starch, Corn on the cob Corn chips, Cookies, Cakes, Bread, Buckwheat, Corn syrup, Doughnuts, Flat bread, Muffins Pasta, Pancakes,
Pita bread, Pizza, Quinoa, Rice of all kinds, Rice cakes, Rice flour, Rice noodles, Rice pudding, Rolled oats, Rolls, Rye, Rye Crackers, Tortillas.
Enjoy the good and forget the bad.

1 lb flank steak, grass fed if at all possible
1 tsp chipotle powder
4 slices pineapple
1¼ cup red bell pepper, chopped
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
Mix olive oil and chipotle powder in a small dish. Brush onto both sides of steak, and either grill for five minutes or broil 3 minutes on one side.
Turn the steak over. If grilling, grill for another 3 minutes. If broiling, broil for another 2 minutes.
Place on plate. Cover. Allow it to rest for several minutes.
In the meantime, grill the pineapple slices for two to three minutes on each side. Cut the pineapple into small bite-size chunks. Place these in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to this
Cut the steak into thin slices, serve with the salsa. Enjoy!

Paleo Meals You Can Make
These Recipes Are Great!
There has been a growing demand for Paleo recipes. So many people are switching to a Paleo diet. They are very simple to make and people love them. Paleo meals contain meats that you can choose to bake, poach, stew, or sear. Paleo meals also contain a side of vegetables. There are so many variations. You can take basic recipes and create delicious meals.
Steak and eggs is always a crowd favorite. Now you can make an easy Paleo meal that will make your taste buds happy and keep your diet healthy. You can make this popular dish with just a few ingredients. You will use a large steak, two eggs, two to three tablespoons of tallow or ghee, and paprika. The paprika is optional. Heat two tablespoons of tallow or ghee in a pan over medium heat. If you like paprika, this is the time to use it. Sprinkle on both sides of the steak.
Place your steak in the pan and cook for four minutes on each side. This will give you a medium-rare steak. If you like your steak well done, cook a little longer, as needed. Once you have cooked your steak just the way you like it, remove it from the pan. Now you will crack your eggs and place them into the same pan. Cook your eggs until the whites are no longer transparent. All finished! You can dip your steak into the egg yolk if you want an extra special delight.
If you are a seafood lover, you are in for a treat. The grilled scallops in red pepper sauce are delicious. They are not only scrumptious, but easy to make as well. Again, just a few ingredients are needed. For this dish, you will need twelve large bay scallops, one-tablespoon coconut oil, and one lemon. For the red pepper sauce, you will need one large roasted red pepper, one clove of garlic, juice from half of the lemon, and two tablespoons of olive oil.
You will start by squeezing lemon juice over the scallops and letting them sit. You will create a smooth sauce by putting all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor and mixing. Pour the sauce in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Once the sauce is heating, use a grill pan and brush it with the coconut oil. When the grill pan is hot, add the scallops, and cook three to four minutes on each side. Once the scallops are finished, place them on a plate and pour the delicious red pepper sauce over it. Your meal is complete.
Chicken is always a good choice. You can make a very nutritious and satisfying meal with just three ingredients. Chicken legs and angel hair cabbage is very simple to make. You will need chicken legs, green onion, and angel hair cabbage. That is it. Just three ingredients! You will begin by cooking your chicken legs in a small amount of water, over medium-high heat. Remove them from the pan when they are done.
You have now created a delicious chicken broth from the water your chicken legs were cooking in. Add the green onion and angel hair cabbage to your chicken broth. You will want to cook your green onions and angel hair cabbage until they are soft, but not mushy. Cook over medium heat. Once complete, add the chicken back on top. You are ready for a delicious meal.
The Paleo diet is so versatile. The possibilities are endless. Many vegetables and meats work with the Paleo diet. If you are able to figure out which recipe you love the most, you can then top it off with a variety of fresh fruits for dessert!

The Healthiest Diet Is The Oldest
Nourishing Your Inner Caveman
We all have an inner caveman. The vast majority of us just don't realize it and that the healthiest diet is the oldest one.
An inner caveman who's craving foods he ate during the prehistoric era. It probably contradicts all your stereotypes, but the prehistoric man who lived before the advent of agriculture was, in many ways, an extremely fit, athletic person. Usually, we think “caveman” and we think disease and deprivation.
That isn't necessarily so. I can't actually confirm that every caveman had six-pack abs, though some authors claim this is so.
But they were fit. They walked for long distances in search of big game; they walked in search of fruits, berries, and nuts. And when the food dwindled in one location, they migrated to find a better place to live (a new cave home if you will).
As you might have already surmised, this new eating plan I'm presenting you really isn't new at all. In fact, it's probably the oldest diet around. It's based on the theory that the genes we modern humans possess are actually the result of life conditions which formed more than a million years ago in our evolution, even before the advent of agriculture.
Farming, the cultivation of wheat and other plants, did not even exist until approximately 10,000 years ago. The Paleolithic Era, the period from which this eating plan is derived, ended about 20,000 years ago.
We now place those two statements together with the fact that genes take hundreds of thousands of years at a minimum -- and two million years at most -- to adapt their metabolism and physiology to different lifestyles. That means we're still working with a system that's more comfortable with a non-agricultural diet.
The bottom line is this: the 10,000 years since the advent of farming is not nearly enough time for our genes to adapt to not only grains, but legumes and dairy products. Now you can see why so many people have so many digestive issues with today's diet.
Let's just take one example, that of refined white sugar -- not even available to your prehistoric ancestor. Today, it appears to be a staple of the American diet. Think I'm exaggerating? Just read the following statistic. It'll get you thinking a little deeper about how we eat.
The average American consumes (now get this!) between two to three pounds of sugar in a week. In the last decade -- a short 10 years! -- the consumption of refined sugar has increased from approximately 26 pounds per person yearly to a whopping 135! The sad part is, most of us don't even know that we're eating that much.
And that's only one contributor to our current diet. Multiply these by all the other foods and additives, and it's no wonder we have a nation of heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer sufferers! Today, the average American eats 31 percent more processed and packaged foods than fresh foods. Can you believe that?
