Neanderthin, eat like a caveman to achieve a lean, strong, and healthy body, (get on Amazon here) is a book written by Ray Audette, Troy Gilchrist, and Michael R. Eades.
The book details a pretty simple concept: you should eat your food as raw as possible and you should only eat food which was available to our ancestors in the Paleolithic era. This is before mankind developed mass agriculture as a primary food source and depended mostly on hunting and gathering to survive.
Don’t worry, you can cook your food all you want, you just need to pick the right ingredients.
What You Eat on the Neandethin Diet Plan
Neandethin follows the food that our ancient ancestors used to eat. Therefore, it is a low-carb plan and a high protein diet. There is a large list of forbidden foods which include:
- Dairy products of all kind
- Bread
- Rice
- Pasta
- Refined sugar
- Any sort of processed food
- Beans
- Potatos
- Any genetically modified food
The basic premise of the book is that our ancestors ate what was best for their body genetically and even though more than 40,000 years have past since the Paleolithic era, our body has not changed that much. Therefore, a large part of the modern diet is unsuitable to us and we need to get back to the right way of eating.
However, this presents a lot of problems as many of the food that our ancestors ate is now manufactured or grown in a modern environment. Therefore, you will need to eat organic food and grass fed meat, both of which are more expensive and may be more of a hassle to get.
