There Were No Fat Cavemen

Available free for a limited time at NoFatCavemen.com

 

A Low Carb Cavemen Diet

There Were No Fat Cavemen is Mick Solomon’s guide to losing excess body fat with a low-carb, “caveman” diet. This free downloadable e-book offers simple instructions that will help you lose excess body fat using a whole-foods paleolithic diet that is low in refined carbs, and high in protein and fat.

The book is short and very easy to read, without a lot of science or jargon. It explains – very briefly – how unwanted weight gain results from consuming carbohydrates, which turn to sugar in the blood stream, and cause your body to store excess weight as fat.

Unlike most diet books, There Were No Fat Cavemen includes a page of attitude coaching, beginning with the famous quote:

Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.
~ Henry Ford

It does not go on from there to recommend difficult daily meditations you must master. It simply instructs you to believe – or to start believing – that you can get healthier.

 

A Traditional Low Carb Diet

Most of the book is Mick’s version of the “traditional” diet, as defined by the Weston A. Price Foundation, using the highest quality, local, whole-foods you can get. He also includes instructions for customizing the diet to your own metabolism, depending on how well you tolerate the carb-containing traditional foods.

Mick’s book is not bogged down with a lot of science and theory. If you are looking for a non-scientific how-to guide to get started with the paleo diet, this would be a good book to start with. It tells you what types of foods are best to eat, and which ones to avoid, without a lot of additional details.

Following this diet would undoubtedly be a vast improvement over today’s typical diet of refined carbohydrates and empty calories, and which lacks the fatty acids that are essential for healthy cells and brain function.

 

If you want a quick how-to guide to get you started on the right foot for a whole-food traditional diet, There Were No Fat Cavemen fits the bill.

If you want the best full-on, well-researched, scientifically-supported book about the paleolithic/primal diet I have ever read, check out Nora Gedgaudas’s Primal Body-Primal Mind. It is a detailed, comprehensive look at the best diet for mankind.

Blogs I never miss: PaNu by Dr. Kurt Harris

July 30, 2010 by Ramona Denton

I’m on a cruise in Alaska this week!!!

So… while I’m cruising past glaciers and whales, I’m highlighting a few blogs for you that I always read. You should check ’em out…

PaNu

The most recent blog that I never miss is PaNu (Paleolithic Nutrition) by Kurt Harris.

This is the first PaNu post I read:

Raw paleo and food re-enactment

This is a critical post, because it establishes that PaNu is about getting the best nutrition, and not simply re-enacting what our ancestors did. Modern foods that are rejected by many “orthodox” paleos, like eggs and dairy, are accepted by PaNu because of their superior nutritional value.

A truly paleolithic food, like HONEY, is rejected because it is almost pure fructose. Fructose is one of the “agents of disease” that PaNu rejects. That and PUFAs (Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids) and gluten grains…

The post ends with : “Don’t be a fanatic and think for yourselves.”

I like that. I like to think for myself, and I like people who advocate individual thinking, versus following the crowd (or the US Government’s nutritional guidlines, for instance…).

I should add that PaNu is actually NOT a LOW CARB diet. PaNu makes no particular emphasis on carb content of foods. Many of the foods that contain the “agents of disease” – which PaNu does avoid – are high-carb foods, and thus avoided by low-carbers.

I find PaNu to be very compatible with high-fat/low-carb. And PaNu has some very good advice for How to lose weight!

Several weeks ago, I took a weekend to read every post on PaNu. I learned so much!!

For more PaNu, try these:

Have a fantastic weekend!!

I’ll be home next week.

Blogs I never miss: The Blog of Dr. Mike Eades

July 28, 2010 by Ramona Denton

I’m on an Alaskan cruise this week!!!

So… while I’m cruising past glaciers and whales, I’m highlighting a few blogs for you that I always read. You should check ’em out…

The Blog of Dr. Mike Eades

I found The Blog of Dr. Mike Eades about a year ago. And I have not missed one post since. I have learned a lot about debunking nutritional studies from him.

I think this was the first post I read: Hard wired to the past, which I may have liked, in part, because it is about cats.

This is the post that got me started on paleolithic nutrition…

And Dr. Mike’s blog is where I first heard of Intermittant Fasting…

Both favorite topics of mine.

He is quite busy with other projects, and is not blogging very frequently at the moment, but his blog is still one of my favorites. One that I never miss…

 

If you haven’t seen this before, it is well worth your 8 minutes to watch this clip from Fat Head. This one features Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades and Dr. Al Sears talking about sugar and starch.

 

The amount of sugar in your blood, if you have a normal blood sugar, is a little bit less than one teaspoon.

One teaspoon of sugar dissolved in your entire blood volume gives you a normal blood sugar.

~ Dr. Mike Eades

The U.S. Government’s nutrition guidelines recommends
300 grams of carbohydrates per day

That’s one and a half cups of sugar.

 

I hope you’re having a fantastic week!!
