Listen to your Cave Sense

CAVE SENSE OF SELF
How much should you consume?
Don’t listen to all the mindless articles and “well-researched” advice on portions and all of that nonsense, if we may be so eloquent. Our bodies were designed to eat and drink an optimal amount that is different for everybody. Translation – no set amounts work for everybody.
S o when Jenny Craig tells you to eat 3 portions of this and 2 portions of that before they try to get you to buy, guess what – it might, or might not, work for you. Here at Cave Chow we don’t care what you weigh or how much you eat, all we care about is are you LISTENING to your body when you eat?
The cave generations didn’t have heart rate monitors, diet plans, and body fat indicators, and they weren’t treated like babies by the media either. The pathetic way people in this country are addressed by advertising and the media in regards to their health is absolutely shameful, and we have no-one to blame but oursleves.
So let’s snap out of it – and listen to our bodies for a change. Some simple rules that are all you need:
- Don’t eat unless you are hungry, and you will know if you are hungry! Given the same amount of food, active people will need more food than non active people. If you weigh 160 but are doing 2 a day workouts, you’ll be consuming more food than your 200 lb couch-bound peer, because your body needs it, and it will tell you.
- Do NOT overeat – the great sin of many Americans today. Food is fuel, it is sustenance – but if you aren’t doing anything that requires much energy (i.e. get up, go sit at a desk, come home, sit on your couch, go to bed), you don’t need a lot of food. Discipline yourself to eat only when you are hungry, until you feel full, then stop. Its an acquired sense, so pay attention to the body. Learn to listen to it and it will take care of you. A shortcut – if it’s hard to take a deep breath, stop eating.
You don’t need diets, eating plans, or specialized food to be a healthy person in great shape. You need common sense and you need to be adverse to laziness.
Don’t be wasteful – eat as your life energy requires.

Cave Chow Doubter?

CAVE DOUBT
Today’s world is full of doubters. People doubt everything from their sanity to their ability to somebody be happy.
If you are doubting the Cave Chow Diet, here are some things to consider:
- People have survived on this particular diet for thousands of years, from Medevial knights to the late, great George Bush. My point: it’s time tested – you can’t go wrong.
- If you’ve started eating, and are already in doubt, consider this: It’s not going to kill you… I mean, if anything, it’ll give you some more stamina for the other challenges in your life. Just one week more.
- Trust Mother Earth – I’m no environmentalist, and won’t say that you should buy everything on the Cave Chow List organic, but – if you notice, they are all NATURAL foods. Who the hell knows what Kraft puts in their creme pies anyway?
- Talk to some athletes. Maybe you don’t know any, but you might know somebody who’s done a marathon, or somebody who’s at least an avid runner or a coach of some sort. If they disagree with the Cave Chow list, we would be shocked. It’s performance proven. Navy Seals it it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you can too.
- Lastly, you just may have become lazy and pampered as a human being – it happens to all of us. Symptoms of this typically include an affinity for routine, and an acceptance of your lazy lifestyle. If you are thinking hard right now, you might have this. Snap out of it and try something else! (Cave Chow).

FOOD – Not for your enjoyment.

CAVE FOOD
Yes, that is correct:
Food, is not, for your, enjoyment. Taste funny? Oh, you are going to love the rest.
A general disregard for how food tastes, is generally, the founding principle for the movement of “Food to Sustain You” – which is a general promotion of delicious items of food for your daily sustenance. Here are the basic principles:
- Food’s general purpose, obviously, is to sustain you – the only NECESSARY function of food
- Our society has created a certain expectation that “food should taste good”, and consequently, the general view that food that does not “taste good”, is not worthy of consumption. Some things they conveniently forgot to mention: A – making food taste “good”, typically costs more, B – the ingredients that most people would agree makes food taste “good” are typically, bad for your health, and C – that “good tasting” food, takes more time to make.
OK, so if that is the general consensus, what is my opinion? My opinion is, simply, that, 90% of the time (allotting some time for your occasional meal out and some treats, of course) should be: Very easy on the wallet, very good for you (regardless of the taste), and very simple to prepare. If you’re an athlete, you will appreciate these truths up front. However, if you are not, or have never been in good enough shape to necessitate this type of eating, here some some excellent, additional bonuses you will enjoy:
- As your taste buds become somewhat numb to what you currently consider “bad-tasting”, or “bland” food, you will appreciate, so much more, your 10% of food that you get in restaraunt. A hamburger? With ketchup? Are you serious? AWESOME!!!!
- That’s the only additional benefit that comes to mind, but it’s an important one. I bet you would appreciate a brand new Mercedes, right? Well, if you already had 2 of them, would you appreciate so much? I don’t think so. It’s like wiping your palate clean at a wine tasting – except we are wiping your entire set of taste buds clean from a lifetime of deceit.
So, to summarize, what Cave Chow will do for you, is let you eat cheap, healthy, eventually delicious food, that will not only power you through your day, but will make you so ever more excited to dine out (especially you ladies, I know you lover your girl out dinners).
A brief word of caution before you start to partake:
- The going can be painful for some people – don’t crack. It’s like working out… except it’s mental, and its finishing what’s on your plate. Don’t be wasteful.
- This program is probably not for you if: you are lazy, out of shape and not caring, have a lot of money and no investment smarts, think that McDonalds hamburgers are actually made out of real food, or if you think eating food is some kind of style contest.
Basically, adopt the Cave Chow “Food to Sustain You” mantra and you will be living a healthier, drama-free, financially smart, and more appreciative cuisine lifestyle.
Hey, if cave-men and women could do it 2,000 years ago, we shouldn’t have a problem replicating it, what with all of our “smarts”, and all.
