Mr. Caveman 

I heard about this diet about 2 years ago, this diet is great but is extremely hard in our world due to all of the processed food. This diet is extremely safe for all ages and genders.

The Caveman Diet consists of only eating food that would be available to the cavemen (obviously cooking the meat though).

List of some of the food/drink you would be allowed to eat:

• meat 
• vegetables
• fruit
• milk
• water
• real fruit juice
• nuts

*If I missed something please let us know in a comment below. 

I have tried this diet for a 2 week session and seen great results. If you try this diet or have tried this diet before leave your comment below on how you liked the diet.
