Quora Question ♥ Is the "Caveman Diet" medically beneficial?

Is the "Caveman Diet" medically beneficial?

I can answer this question from personal experience. YES! It is most certainly medically beneficial!



While I did lose 41 pounds, I gained so much more… My migraines are gone, I have no pain at all from a previous knee injury, I have no more inflammation and I’m no longer pre-diabetic. Paleo (Caveman Diet) has given me my life back ♥

If you’re considering it, PLEASE give it a try! I started my scale battle when I was 7. I’m now 46. So, when I tell you I’ve tried everything… I mean it in every sense of the word. Nothing helped with my weight loss or my medical issues until I started Paleo.



Since you’re asking about that particular lifestyle, I’m sure you’ve done some research on it. There are a ton of resources on Google and I also have a little blog and YouTube channel about my personal experience:

I sure hope you try it!!! I’d love to hear how it changed your life! ♥
Quora Question:  What is an effective weight loss program?

Personally, Paleo has worked for me. It’s the ONLY thing that did. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life and at 46, I’ve finally figured it out ♥




My sister actually got me into Paleo. It took her a while to convince me as I had tried so many other “diets” prior to and they never really worked. I would either lose weight and gain it right back or not lose weight at all. 





So, when I hit 40, I basically gave up as it’s NOT easy to lose weight in your 40’s.  I was so tired of trying!






Anyway, while I did lose 41 pounds, it also had an immense impact on my other health issues (knee injury, inflammation, pre-diabetic, migraines). So, it basically changed my entire life.




I hope you at least look into it. You can google Paleo and get a bunch of results. You can also see my blog or YouTube channel if you’d like as well:
