"Leite-Poço is quick to point to the health benefits of Paleolithic eating, citing personal experiences as evidence of the diet's benefits. Since going Paleo two years ago, he has enjoyed a medication-free existence, he says. Other benefits of Paleo cuisine listed on the restaurant's website include greater energy levels, increased muscle mass, clearer skin and a higher sex drive. "

This is not for me!
I don't want unclothed males
(that have never showered in their life)
Bringing food into MY kitchen
Or a kitchen where my food will be served from!

[Cardhu]

But image yorkie they will have “increased muscle mass, clearer skin and a higher sex drive.”

Doesn’t that have its attractions?

[GeronL]

That is a very bad business model

[43north]

Ugghh. Grock want food. No need to cook. Eat raw.

[Pollster1]

This is the wave of the future, and thanks to Obama, all of America will soon be up to the caveman standards.

[cripplecreek]

This means organic, unprocessed fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and herbs. The truly obsessed build an entire lifestyle around the concept, mimicking caveman-era exercise -- lifting boulders and running barefoot, with some even emulating the blood loss they believe Stone Age hunters might have experienced in pursuit of their dinner by donating blood every few months.

LOL Loon.

One question. Why would a caveman lift boulders? Did he work on a farm or something?

[Cardhu]

It may be a bad business model but at the say in the real estates business - Location, location, location.

“Leite-Poço opened up Sauvage alongside his partner and fellow Paleo convert, Rodrigo Leite-Poço, in a former brothel this May.”

[yorkie]

NOooooooo. What has attraction to me is a cold, crisp salad, with fresh romaine lettuce, Caesear’s dressing and LOTS of freshly shredded parmesean cheese and garlic croutons, fresh, hot from the oven French bread, a filet mignon (medium rare) wrapped in bacon, and served with bernaise sauce, and a baked potato with LOTS of butter, sour cream and freshly chopped chives.

I would like it served by a handsome (CLEAN) young man in a tuxedo, as I sit across the table from a sweet gentleman, and a nice glass of cabernet to toast each other, and listen to some sweet music, like “Can I have this dance, for the rest of my Life?”

[Cardhu]

OMG - I hope your dance card has a small space for an ardent admirer.

[EEGator]

The diet is pretty decent, but this barefoot boulder stuff is nonsense. Some people always take things too far.

[yorkie]

"I hope your dance card has a small space for an ardent admirer"

That depends....if it will be in a cave, with unclothed 'apes' jumping around, I think my dance card may be filled up!

Of course, there could be other options.........

[cripplecreek]

I suspect that cavemen ate a fair amount of half rotten meat scavenged from predator’s leftovers.

[GeronL]

lol. That fits.

[EEGator]

I was referring to a modern day equivalent. Meat, veg, fruits, nuts and seeds are a healthy diet. (I mean bought from a store) I tried it for 6 weeks, and I leaned out pretty good. (Weightlifting as well)

[Noumenon]

I’ve got two words for these cave man wanna-bes: “modern dentistry”.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah it sounds like a decent diet.

[GeronL]

even in Roman times, where bathing was important and frequent, a third of kids died before age 10 and the average man lived to about 22.

I could only imagine the rates for the cave men.

[EEGator]

The hardest part was not having pizza...I love pizza.

[Cardhu]

No dear yorkie not in a cave but in a caravel - as least my yacht - dancing beneath the stars with the breeze blowing through your hair to reminding me of the perfumed winds or Araby
