Paleolithic Diet - Anyone on it?
 

On Thursday I took a girl to a new age health food restaurant. It only served raw food or food that had been cooked at less than 48 degrees. It cost a lot of money. It was poncey & in Highgate. It seemed a bit ludicrous & the 48 degrees didn't make any sense (to me).

Anyways pondering diets/lifestyles & watching Ray Mears something occured to me. Our ancesters survived for millenia on meat & berries - that's what our bodies are designed for.

So, I'm going to give it the pepsi challenge....okay cave men didn't have pepsi, I'm going to give it the ox-blood challenge.


Anyone been on it? Advice? Can you still drink beer?

that sounds all kinds of disgusting. does that mean no meat? or do you have to eat raw bacon sarnies?

Sounds like a recipe for food poisoning to me.

48 deg or less? Didn't know paleolithic man could control his fire that well!!!:confused:

didnt live long the cave peeps did they? maybe partly cos their diet was crap!!

The nu-age place in Highgate was 48 degrees or less - I thought that that was stoopid!

...But it got me thinking about putting the right foodstuffs down my cake hole - hence my reasoning that the stone age diet would be the best diet for modern man as he has the same genetic make up as our pre-neolithic ancestors....

Look at the range of foods you can and cannot (well, should not) eat under that diet.

You are looking at a serious increase in your monthly food bill! No more consuming any of the usual 'Bulking out' foods in our diets.

Very 'Atkins Like', boost protien intake and drop carbs almost off the menu.

Fire is a sight hotter than 48 degrees.

I think they're all talking balls.


P.s If you're trying to pull why did you take her to a "new age" restaraunt. You'll come over like some wierd ar$ed hippy.

I cook my food on a bbq at temperatures rangin from ambient: bloody hot.

As it is meat it tastes superb, thinking on BBQing a lamb joint this weekend, a hell of an experiment on a GBP15 BBQ.

PS What did the girl choose off the menu? And where did you go for dessert ;)

But more than 48 degrees :-P

Lamb sounds nice BBQ'd
