MYTH 1:
THE HUMAN BODY HAS NOT
CHANGED SINCE THE LATE
PALEOLITHIC PERIOD
MYTH 2:
THE LATE PALEOLITHIC
CAVEMAN WAS A MODEL OF
PEAK HUMAN HEALTH
MYTH 3:
DAIRY SHOULD BE
ELIMINATED
The elimination of dairy from the Paleo Diet is based on wrong
theories and false science. The Paleo Diets main argument is
that dairy does not fit adult mammal in their natural habitat
adult animals do not drink milk Perhaps not, but if you give
that the human diet evolved away from meat eating; the unique
flat wear structure of the human cheek teeth bares proof that

LEGUMES ARE TOXIC AND
SHOULD BE AVOIDED
MYTH 6:
FALSE FASTING
Though the Paleo Diet approach recommends intermittent
fasting, many Paleo Diet followers cannot figure out what intermittent fasting means. Ive been approached by some cross-fit
trainers who claimed to follow an intermittent fasting regimen
where eating a few small meals during the day is okfollowed
by a large evening meal; the idea of fasting during the day was
thrown out of the window to avoid muscle wasting and loss of

muscle is the goal, there is no place for intermittent fasting.
MYTH 5:
THE MEAT FALLACY
This may seem a slap in the face of all those fitness advocates
who adamantly refuse to let go of their old muscle building
routines. Regardless, frequent feeding and over-feeding have
been found to be associated with inflammatory disorders,
metabolic syndrome and premature aging.
The Paleo Diet isnt just falling behind with the implementation
of this concept, it fails to even recognize that.
And as for the Paleo Diet, though its fitness approach recognizes intermittent fasting as an important element, it often fails
to incorporate that in practice.
FINAL NOTES
Given all thisdo you still feel the need to drop everything
civilized and switch into a caveman lifestyle? Will the meat
and sweet potato trick make you live longer? Or can you achieve
today your ultimate health potential without adhering to a
caveman lifestyle?
I believe you can. But you need to learn about the concept
of stress response and you need to know how to put it in
