Sorry, Fred, you're a goner.
My wife has done this diet along with Crossfit and it has worked very well for her.
But to say this cures heart disease and all other ailments is stupid. Cavemen didn’t live until they were 80...they died in their teens and 20s. Lucky to live to 30 (guessing here). But as life expectancy goes up so do our ailments. We no longer die from freezing or being eaten by a tiger.

I think the overall issue is eating well.
It says no rice, but most citizens of countries that use a lot of rice tend to live long lives and are very healthy, compared to those that live Western style diets.
The reason the AVERAGE life expectancy was only 20, was that childhood mortality rates were so high combined and that injuries (like a cut or broken leg) were fatal. Cavemen didn’t just drop dead at 20. If you made it to adulthood as a caveman, the odds are that you would live a long time.
It’s the same reason the AVERAGE life expectancy in 1900 was only 40. The child mortality rates were high, which skewed the average.
The Bible says a man’s lifespan is 70 years (Psalms 90:10), yet the AVERAGE lifespan at the time was only 30. Again, people weren’t just dropping over dead at 30. It was the high child mortality rate that skewed the AVERAGE life span numbers. If you made it to adulthood, you had a good chance of living a long life.
But it wasn’t necessarily disease that killed them. If you broke your leg or arm, got a cut or an abscessed tooth you couldn’t go get fixed up like we can today. Their living conditions were much harsher.
