Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 That " Caveman " diet is a little different from the old diet I used to follow (the Paleo diet). I would consider it something to try if you want a transitional diet before starting SCD. But I never saw the same level of benefits in myself with that diet. I like SCD better and there is healing taking place in myself, healing I didn't even know I needed. I don't think the Caveman diet as outlined is even as beneficial as the straight Paleo diet and it's pretty well established that kefir is hard on our systems. On the actual Paleo diet, by Loren Cordain, no potatoes of any kind are allowed, nor is kefir. There are no supplements on the actual Paleo diet either. Thus I am skeptical of a " Caveman " diet that promotes supplements and kefir heavily. It is pretty clear that there are many foods on this Caveman diet that are too hard to digest. I am afraid discussing this will confuse people, too. There are new people cycling into this list constantly asking similar questions, and they may not be able to distinguish the difference right away. B.
