A caveman diet you can deal with

For clearer skin, a healthier body and to maybe even look like Lindsay Lohan- because who doesn’t want to?

hot mess

Just like Lindsay Lohan and sobreiety – baby steps – and you may actually get there. So lets look at keeping the AM hours of the day processed-food-free (almost anyway).

1. Important to keep fruit + veges up and other added things into your food out (salts and other condiments).So for breakfast I recommend wholegrain cereal (REAL cereal.. not that shitty NuriGrain stuff), with a chopped up banana, throw in some sultanas and a bit of honey for flavour. Seriously take less than 3 minutes and it’s filling. Step away from toast if you’re going to put “spread” on it. Use avocado instead and spritz some lemon onto it (that’s the hot tup). Also, step back from the coffee!! It has an array of horrible things in it!

2. If it’s been through a machine and has had lots of funky stuff done to it- leave it alone. That includes all the funky packaged/multicoloured biscuits, crisps and no doubt fast food. So with snacks look for low salt but high potassium. Good sources of potassium include most fruits, vegetables, nuts, white meats, oranges, broccoli, bananas, peaches and cabbage. Note that potatoes are an excellent source of potassium but are avoided in the strict caveman diet. For more caveman tips click here.

3. And to get your juices going. Remember: high potassium. It might even reduce your blood pressure levels. So that means celery. Celery smells and tastes gross, but Happy Juicer have a great recipe which include apples, carrots and refreshing cucumber. Make one large bottle once every 3 days and keep it in the fridge.

You are what you eat! Just make sure it’s not “nothing” or “everything and anything”. No one likes to be easy.
