No cheese, bread or sugar are available at a recently opened Berlin eatery. In fact, guests are served dishes made only of ingredients that would have been available to their hunter-gatherer ancestors. The Stone Age fare is prepared by adherents of the Paleolithic movement, who say their restaurant is the first of its kind in Europe.
The restaurant menu shows a stereotypical image of modern humanity's forbearer, the jutting profile of a hirsute caveman. Inside, diners eat at candle-lit tables with a contemporary cave painting hanging in the background. These hints aside, Berlin's Sauvage restaurant looks similar to many of the German capital's other trendy eateries. But the chalkboard out front announcing a "Real Food Revolution -- Paleolithic Cuisine!" alerts diners to the fact that their Stone Age menu might offer up some surprises.
Sauvage, which is also the French word for "savage" or "wild," is part of the Paleolithic diet movement, whereby adherents eat only foodstuffs that would have been available to Stone Age humans. 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.
But guests at Sauvage can try "Paleo" without feeling obligated to take on a strictly Stone Age lifestyle.
"Many people think the Paleolithic diet is just some hipster trend but it's a worldwide phenomenon, with an online community that spans the globe," Sauvage's Boris Leite-Poço told SPIEGEL ONLINE of the growing interest in caveman cooking. "Right now the trend is probably strongest in the United States,...

With the exception that I still eat cheese, I have been on the Paleo diet for the past 3 months and have lost 25 lbs. I cheat one day of the week though, but only at dinner. I like the diet, its easy to stay on, I don’t get hungry between meals and there isn’t a lot of time consuming cooking.
Up until 2 days ago I also was drinking bourbon every night, 2 to 3 drinks, but reached a weight loss plateau and so I gave it up, now the weight falling again. I also do 1 hour of low level aerobics per day, that helps a lot.
Grok, buddy, I hate to break it to ya, but if you go hunting mammoths with that there bone-tipped toothpick spear, it won't cost you a pint every several months.
I assume you are German by you nickname so you know more about it than we do.
That is 90 days for 25 lbs - I went on the zero carbohydrate diet years ago and you can eat all the meat cheese and veggies that you want but no fruit, bread or potatoes to name a few carb rich foods, and no sugar in the coffee of course and you lose 1lb a day - just keep it up for one month and hope you will change your eating habits´.
And doubles on the rocks, in this guy's case (he's frightened of your strange flying machine!)
*sigh*
child mortality was very much higher in those days. Once you were an adult you did not die on average at 22. Most lived to old age.
We don't need to imagine, for Genesis 6 makes it plain that something like 90% of people were murdered. God would not have sent the Flood for anything less.
A lot of parents died young too, adoption was big in the Roman Empire. Of course so was child (even for sex) slavery, “exposure” and all that.
Not unless they shower. Tell 'em to think of it as a modern type of rain fall. I am sure cavemen got caught out in the rain on a regular basis.
I tried this recently. I gave up after five days because I was sick of plain meat and got persistent diarrhea. On the other hand, I didn’t seem to need any coffee, and I was losing weight.
I don’t care what is on the menu - just sent me the waitress
Leaf spinach is a good substitute for potatoes and there is aways fish too.
*Sigh*
No, that’s not why they did adoptions. They did that because that was the way their culture worked. It was a way to ensure the secession.
How we understand hereditary monarchy now is not the way the Romans understood things.
That’s not even remotely true, unless you’re talking on a battlefield.
I challenge any skeptic of the Paleo diet to try it for 30-90 days. Even better if you get a lipid panel first to establish a baseline. Most, if not all, would be shocked at the level of improvement when they get their blood test results at the end of the 30-90 days. Paleo isn’t just a meat-eating diet, nor is it necessarily low-carb. It’s all about eating real food & avoiding/eliminating the neolithic agents of disease... 1) grains (gluten) 2) added sugars (fructose) 3) vegetable/bad (N6) oils. It’s a shame that the media tends to butcher the general outline of the Paleo dietary regimen. Paleo most definitely is not a fad diet. It’s a legitimately long-term, well sustaining regimen. As for running barefoot, don’t knock it until you try it!
What kind of animal is that? It looks like a cross between an armadillo and a sloth. A grumpy sloth.
I’ll drink to that!
LOL!
