The Cavegirl Diet™

Do you want to supercharge your diet?  I mean, what ever diet you are on.  It doesn't matter if it's Eating For Life, The Zone, The Sonoma Diet, The Abs Diet, or Burn The Fat - this one tip will supercharge ANY of them.


Eat Like A Cavegirl

Think back to when you were a kid...  then think back another 3000-4000 years.  You know, when Def Leppard was cool.  Back in the day.

Go back to somewhere between 1,000BC and 2,000,000BC, and you get cavedudes and cavegirls.  Think about what they ate on a daily basis.  Chances are they didn't go to Taco Bell.  And on the way home from Taco Bell they didn't pull over their Brontosaurus for Twinkies and a Big Gulp. 

Cavedudes and cavegirls ate things that they could hunt or gather.  That means meat, fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. 

The Modern Cavegirl

The modern cavegirl does her hunting in the deli and fish market, and does her gathering in the produce section.  Cavegirl likes Whole Foods Market and Wild Oats Market.  Cavegirl likes to go to "farmer's market", whenever it is in her town. 

Cavegirl doesn't know what they sell in the middle of the supermarket.  Weird plastic food with transfat and hydrogenated everything.  Cavegirl would rather be chased by raptors than go through the drive through window at her nearest fast food joint.

The Cavegirl Challenge

Every day next week - excluding your free day, if you take a free day - have one Cavegirl meal.  That means one meal that ONLY consists of meat, fish or poultry for your protein, fruits and/or vegetables for your carbohydrates, and nuts for your fats. 

Try having just one Cavegirl meal per day.  Note in your food log how you feel after your Cavegirl meal. 

If you get really ambitious, in a couple weeks you can try doing two Cavegirl meals per day.  Watch as the fat melts off of you, your energy levels skyrocket, and you feel awesome all of the time.

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Alwyn Cosgrove
    When trainers want to get better at training fat loss, they go to Alwyn Cosgrove. If you're a trainer you need to read everything Alwyn writes.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."
