The Caveman Diet

Diet
Stage two is a little more extreme with the diet. You eat nothing during the day. Being sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Once a day, you eat as much as you want provided it falls into the guidelines of the diet. Berries, roots, veggies, fruits, meats, poultry, and fish are all good foods. Grains, legumes, salt, sugar, dairy, etc., are to be avoided. I kept my diet simple, usually having meat, veggies, and fruit. For meats: Steak, Pork Chops, Chicken, Venison (steak and chops), Fish (walleye and pike). Veggies: asparagus, broccoli, green beans, and various mixed veggies. Fruits consisted of: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, clementines, and pineapple. Occasionally I would also have some almonds with dinner. With the dietary restrictions I wanted to keep things simple to make sure I stayed true to the diet. To add a little variety, I would prepare the foods differently, for example having chicken with olive oil and black pepper or a little lemon juice.

Weight Loss
Weighed in at 172.4 for a stage weight loss of around 8 pounds and a total weight loss of 24 pounds over the course of a month on the diet. One key on any diet is to stay well hydrated and when on a diet where you have as few calories you do during the second stage of the caveman power diet. My weight loss gradually slowed down throughout the course of stage two which I would say is because I’m getting closer to a more natural body weight. As I get under 170 I’ll probably start adding muscle at roughly the same rate I lose fat so my weight should stay around the same.

Exercise
With the weather starting to warm up I just tried to get outside as much as possible. Played golf several times, which while golf doesn’t take much exertion; if you walk it is some good cardio. Also played tennis or baseball just about every day. Didn’t do much lifting, just sit ups and pushups.
