“Metablolic and
physiologic
improvements from
consuming a paleolithic,
hunter-gatherer type
diet.”

February 2009
After doing a stufy of 9 non-
obese individuals it was
determined in this study that
when compared to the used
diet the Paleolithic (caveman)
Diet: reduces BP, reduces
plasma insulin, has a large
reduction in total cholesterol,
low density lipoproteins, and
triglycerides. Eight of the nine
participants demonstrated
these results. As stated in the
article references to the left,
“Even short-term
consumption of a paleolothic
type diet improves BP and
glucose tolerance, decreases
insulin sensitivity and
improves lipid profiles without
weight loss in healthy
sedentary humans.”
“A paleolithic diet is
more satiating per
calorie than a
mediterranean-like
diet in individuals

Studies have
been conduced
that compared to
the
Mediterranean
diet and the
Paleolithic diet.
They have
brought forth
conclusions that
suggest that the
“Caveman Diet”
is more satiating
per calorie than
a
Mediterranean-
like diet.

“Clinical trials have
shown that the Paleo
Diet is the optimum diet
that can lower the risk of
cardiovascular disease,
blood pressure, markers
of inflammation, help
with weight loss, reduce
acne, and promote
optimum health and
athletic performance.”
- Loren Cordain, PhD,
Colorado state
University professor and
author of The Paleo
Diet.
“ The Caveman
Diet, also called
the Paleolithic
(or Paleo),
Stone Age, and
Warrior diets, is
a plan based on
eating plants
and wild
animals similar
to what
cavemen are
presumed to
have eaten
around 10,000
years ago.”
“Can living like a
caveman prevent
disease and make you
lean and fit? Some
doctors argue that one
of the hottest wellness
trends is also one of
the healthiest.”

Paleo Diet and the

“ In 1985, a pair of
researchers published a
provocative paper
leveraging the fact that,
while the human
species has existed for
about 2 million years,
grain production is only
12,000 years old, and
the rise of processed
foods- new to human s
on an evolutional scare-
mirrors our uptick of
weight gain and chronic
disease. Cavemen did
not suffer from these
disease, because their
diet consisted of mostly
meat, vegetables, and
some fruit. The Paleo
movement started
collection members
slowly by steadily
growing. “

Analysis Results

 Adequacy: The Paleolithic Diet Supports the intake of adequate amounts of the
essential nutrients, fiber, carbohydrates included in the wide variety of raw fruits and
vegetables, as well as meats and oils.
 Balance: This diet stresses balance between oils and meats and fruits and
vegetables that are allowed. The Paleo Diet also supports portion sizes that balance
energy intake with physical exercise; though it does not limit the variety of foods at an
individual’s disposal.
 Calorically Sounds: With the Paleolithic Diet, one may eat until one is full and there
is no need whatsoever to feel as if you are starving yourself for lack of food. The
portions are yours to command provided you balance each within the list of healthy
foods recommended.
 Nutrient Density: The Paleolithic Diet encourages foods that are rich in both the
essential and nonessential vitamins and minerals. As long as a person balances and
varies the foods well, they should have no problem whatsoever in achieving their daily
needs.
 Variety: There is only one limitation to a traditional “Caveman Diet” and that is that
the diet does not encourage dairy products or grains or sugars. However, there are
really no other foods that are discouraged in the diet provided they meet the goals set
by the individual.
 Expense: The only true expense involved in maintain The Paleo Diet is the cost of the
fresh fruits and vegetables as well as the organic foods if you choose to do so. (Truly
when you weigh the money issues with the possible benefits of healthy eating, the
expense really does not seem great at all.)
 Time: The Paleolithic Diet does require some preparation where meals are
concerned. If one were to want to give one’s family a true taste of the “Caveman”
experience, it would take some needed time to prepare a true masterpiece. But, if a
person simply wanted to improve their health with the fresh fruits and vegetables,
nuts and meats this diet requires, the only preparation would be to slice the
vegetables, make a pot of soup of plan for the whole week.
 Based on Scientific Support: The Paleolithic Diet is also excellent for those who wish
to lower their blood pressure or for diabetics who are looking for a variety of foods
that do not increase the load placed on their pancreas and that they may consume
whether they require insulin or not. The Paleolithic Diet has something for everyone
regardless of circumstances.
 Other: This diet, is a very healthy diet. It does not limit on foods. It just specifies to eat
a variety, and with a healthy balance of all natural foods rather than store acquired
ready to eat meals with the unhealthy additives.
