Caveman Diet
The Caveman Diet is modeled after what our ancient ancestors ate in prehistoric times. It places a lot of emphasis on protein and takes a step away from cultivated products such as rice and bread. This diet is similar to the Atkins diet as it is mostly protein and fatty foods.
What’s On the Caveman Diet Menu?
One example of a typical day includes: breakfast—a grapefruit and a glass of orange juice; lunch—a tossed salad and all of the nuts you can eat; snacks—as many apples as you desire; dinner—all the chicken you can stomach, along with two servings of vegetables. From this example, it's easy to see what the diet would be like over a prolonged period of time.
Problems with the Caveman Diet
This diet tends to lead to an unhealthy amount of fat consumption. Beyond that, it isn't very balanced in terms of vitamins. Since it is very low on carbs, it can also make people feel very tired and weak.

The caveman diet is essentially a prehistoric version of Atkins. Cut carbs and eat protein. The whole notion of cutting carbs always seems to me to be a back door way of saying "reduce portion size." If a person cuts carbs out of a meal and doesn't replace all the calories with something else, they just reduced calories right? Cut portions.....sound familiar? Try the Sonoma Diet, the Mediterranean Diet, or eDiets Weight Loss Program. More on these diets below...

Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean is comprised of a large area of land that stretches from western Spain to the Middle East. Structured after traditional lifestyle habits of those in this area, the Mediterranean Diet is ideal for people who like to cook, enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, and are interested in making a permanent lifestyle change. With very few dietary restrictions, followers of the Mediterranean Diet are allowed to eat all the things they enjoy, in moderation. Unlike the customary Western style of quickly eating large portions, the Mediterranean Diet places great emphasis on spending time on preparing and enjoying small, tasty meals. Rather than make drastic lifestyle modifications, this plan teaches people to choose low-fat, low- cholesterol foods that are packed with flavor and will leave them feeling fulfilled. The Mediterranean Diet aims to permanently improve long-term health.
