The Caveman Diet...

[VikingArthur]

I know that this is a bit outside the mainstream of thought but I wanted to share this. I have been on this diet for 6 months now and had amazing results. No...I am not trying to sell anything. Ha, Ha.

In December, I made a drastic change to my lifestyle. No, I did not decide to color my hair, get manicures or start listening to Coldplay, I started eating like a caveman.

As a reasonably serious bodybuilder, my diet has been regimented for about ten years. I have been doing all the things that anyone who wants to get big and look like a man should; eating significant protein six to eight times a day, avoiding white sugars and devouring lean meats. I had always eaten more than my fair share of oatmeal, whole grain bread and rice. To me, eating a good amount of grains was an essential element of getting big. I was wrong. Mainstream thought on this subject is wrong. Grains are garbage and have no place in the human diet.

I would be happy to answer any questions about this.

how can whole grain wheat be bad for you? its a great source of fiber

why would it be healthy?

its not a good source of fiber. it has only a  few grams of fiber in it per serving.

a good source of fiber is something like vegetable, which has 30% or more fiber content.


saying whole grian wheat is a good source of fiber is like saying full fat american cheese is a good source of protien.


what else does wheat or grain provide that could be considered healthY? very small amount of vitamin/mineral/antidioxidant/phytonutrient.  zero essential nutrients.

sin fact, whats healthy about fiber?  it cleans out the digestive tract, feeds some short chain fatty acids to the liver. but what else? nothing. 


grains ARE acidic (unhealthy), grains do cause insulin release (unhealthy)..
