The 'I Feel Like Being Healthier' Thread!

God... they have websites for it? You might be reading about an entirely different thing... What I mean by caveman diet is a return to really simple foods. Like brown rice and meat and fish and vegetables and corn and whole wheat and such. Nothing that's very processed or chemical or high fat (though high protein is ok.) and not very much sugar outside of fruit and such.
When I was 4 my appendix exploded, and antibiotics destroyed my immune system. I was allergic to over 100 different foods. I ate pretty much brown rice, veggies, chicken and fish for 2 years. Hated it, but it worked, now I have almost no food allergies!
Anyway, all the psuedo-scientific stuff sounds like BS, but eating simple not overprocessed foods is pretty obviously going to be a healthy choice!

My wrestling season ended about two months ago, I was cut, healthy, energetic, and could probably run a marathon with a midget tied to each leg. I've had a break from all enforced exercise due to bruising my rib, to such a circumstance that I had trouble getting out of bed. I intend to start running again, adding at least half a mile weekly. Cardio follows that I'd probably do some kind of lifting program, so I'm just gonna' do the basics until the summer lifting program starts again to hopefully get my abdominals back. I intend to diet but not the way I did during the season. I still haven't touched a soda in months and haven't eaten fast food in close to a year. Only problem is encouragement, I had at least three hours of exercise daily before, not it's less than a half hour now. I guess I just need a pep talk.

Have to be careful with thoughts like that. It's fairly true since our bodies have adapted to various food sources over time, but taking it as an absolute is the sort of thing that encourages a lot of the pseudo-science that is flying around out there. It depends a lot on what you consider to be "overprocessed." For example, using calcium carbonate in maize preparation was vital to the survival of Mesoamericans in order to help stave off pellagra, a condition that typically ends in dementia and death.

You're going to die alone in the wilderness.

I should clarify that when I say alone I really mean "alone with the bears."
