What is a Cavegirl?

The Northwest Cavegirls are a group of women living in the Pacific Northwest who all have opted to follow a Paleo or Primal lifestyle. This way of eating is sometimes called the Caveman diet. And, well, since we're not men we've opted to be Cavegirls.

Here are a few definitions:

Paleo Diet — Often the default term to refer to a high fat, low/no carb diet that strives to eliminate dairy, sugars, legumes, and grains. In specific, it refers to Dr. Loren Cordain‘s dietary recommendations or more recently the teachings of Robb Wolf.

Primal Blueprint — The dietary, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations promoted by Mark Sisson. Essentially Paleo, but with a more relaxed attitude. Allows for minimal dairy if not intolerant and the occasional alcohol indulgence.

All of the Cavegirls have come to this common way of eating, playing, exercising and living through different life channels, but we all feel healthier and more energetic because of it.
