Fad Diets?
I’m not one for faddy diets.
I’m actually not one for diets at all – a basic philosophy of “eat less move more” seems to work well.
The thing about media, though, is that due to its incredibly social nature it sometimes leaves you feeling, how can I put this nicely, a little bit horrible inside.
So when a currently unnamed colleague suggested following the cavemans diet. I figured, I cant properly slate it until I’ve given it a go. The principle is, you eat like a caveman would – nothing processed. So – wave bye bye to the bacon sandwiches, dim sum lunches and platter dinners. Hello fruit, meat and… well… anything which has only just left the animal / tree.
This morning I had a banana and an apple for breakfast. I’m already hungry again and its only 9:20. A week? Already feels like a lifetime……

Blimey Milly, that sounds full-on. What are you going to do for protein though? Can we expect to see you tracking the deer at Richmond Park this weekend!? I recommend you stay away from the ‘flying rats’ in Trafalgar Square though..

This is actually working out very well – just had a picnic in regents park of quailty meat, smoked salmon and olives. Errr…. cavemen did have smoked salmon didnt they?

They had salmon and fire, yes.

Not sure they had the fizzy booze though Milly……….

I was going to put this as another blog but thought it might be overkill. Finished the week long caveman diet and feel ruddy great. I reckon I could even stave off swine flu if it came near me.
Not going to stick to it religoiusly, BUT, it just makes such alot of sense to eat less processed food and think about what goes in your mouth.
The exception to this – cavemen most certainly had drink of every variety

Good for you Milly.
As the Guru says, “you have to live in the real world”.
Therefore alcohol is an exception to the diet, as are Friday lunches in media….
