Caveman Diet

Caveman was always lean thanks to his diet plan that was designed by nature. The basic principles were to offer him all food kinds, that did not give him a fat body, and at the same time to keep him doing exercise for the majority of day to get them. He had game, fish, leaves, fruits, nuts, and of course water.
