Steps

  1. Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.

  2. Step 1

    Remove non-caveman foods from diet

    Remove sugars, grains, beans, potatoes, and salt from your diet.

  3. Step 2

    Start with breakfast

    Start your diet with a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and berries.

  4. Step 3

    Continue for three days

    Continue eating breakfast according to the caveman diet for three days, while eating your normal lunch and dinner.

  5. Check online or at a bookstore for caveman recipes.

  6. Step 4

    Add lunch

    Add a paleo lunch to your menu: try a salad, wild mushrooms, and venison. Continue eating a paleo breakfast and lunch for three more days.

  7. Step 5

    Add a snack

    Satisfy your in-between-meal cravings with a snack consisting of nuts and fruit.

  8. Peanuts are a bean, not a nut. The same goes for cashews, so avoid these.

  9. Step 6

    Add dinner

    Complete the transition to your new diet by adding a caveman-inspired dinner. A hearty salmon with turnips makes for a terrific modern stone-aged meal.

  10. Neanderthals lived in Europe about 200,000 years ago, but disappeared only 30,000 years ago.
