It seems like for every new day there's a new diet on the market that promises amazing results in little to no time-or effort. While most of these diets are just gimmicky advertising by companies out to make a buck (or a few million), one popular diet isn't trying to be the new thing at all. In fact, proponents of the diet are drawn to it because it's super old. Like 10,000 years ago old. Like cavewoman old.
5. Work out like a cavewoman. Don't forget the Paleo workout! Incorporate short sprints (to simulate running from a bear), pull-ups (like pulling yourself up and into a tree to collect fruit) and other high-intensity functional strength moves like squats, lunges and push-ups, to really get the lean cavewoman look.
While this diet may not be for everyone-and many well known nutritionists and fitness professionals are very much for it and against it because of its restrictions-at the very least, it's a new and interesting way to look at what you eat and how you move. In this modern day and age, sometimes we forget how far our society has come in regards to diversity and widespread availability of our food and fitness. Get back to your roots-quite literally!
