   The premise of this diet is that you'll regain lost fortitude and grow to be as strong and vital as our ancestors. While we don't have the predators, caves, and short lifespans of the caveman to contend with, there is the reality that many of the foods we consume aren't very healthy for us. And for some, a return to eating like cavemen of yore is a way of restoring a little balance. In case you're interested in trying out this diet, here are some ways to get started, eating and making easy desserts with some of the foods below.

   
   

   Decide what extent you're prepared to take the diet. The elements of the caveman diet vary according to which source or practitioner of the diet you follow. However, it is possible to discern some basic elements that you can use to form your take on this diet and add easy desserts:

   
   

   Prepare your kitchen and pantry. You'll need somewhere suitable to store your meat supplies, such as a large freezer. You'll need a fridge to store fresh ingredients such as vegetables, berries, fish foods, and fruit, and pantry space to store nuts, some vegetables, and jerky.

   
   

   Gather your basic ingredients. Within the parameters of the ingredients on making easy desserts you are able to consume as part of the caveman diet, you can make a range of different meals. The ingredients that are permitted as part of the caveman diet will vary slightly depending on which source you're following, but the following provides a general guide:

   
   

   Meat - red meat, bacon, ham, pork, venison, etc.

   Fish and seafood

   Eggs

   Cheese (this could be herd based food or post-agriculture, it depends on your interpretation)

   Nuts (note that peanuts and cashews are not nuts)

   Vegetables - raw, steamed, salad varieties

   Fruit

   Berries

   Seeds

   Start the caveman diet. Initially, it's suggested that you ease yourself gradually into the diet. There are several ways to do this - by weekly blocks, or in stages of days. Don't think of the meals as the familiar breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. As a caveman-like eater, you are now a grazer. You're not looking for three meals per day. Although you don't need to eat dried foods all the time, you will be looking for 6 small meals per day.

   
   

   Savor your food. A big part of the caveman diet is respect and love for your food. Matt Emery, who describes himself as a "modern hybrid caveman" suggests that the following rituals or attentions are a vital part of following a caveman diet.

   
   

   Consider the health aspects. While this diet may suit some people and their lifestyles, it won't suit everyone. For a start, any change in your diet of such a magnitude should be discussed with your doctor or dietitian. Similar to the Atkins' diet owing to its heavy reliance on protein and fatty foods, the caveman diet is considered to be unhealthy by some dietitians because it can involve an unhealthy level of fat consumption, has unbalanced vitamins, and is low on carbohydrates, which could leave you feeling weak and tired
