1. Eat food that has lived a good life.
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019ve ever seen a time-lapsed photo of a flower\u2019s journey from bloom to whither, then you already have a perfect example of how your food should have lived. Whether it\u2019s a vegetable, a fruit or an animal, they all have one thing in common: They lived! Start by eating only these foods and the rest will follow.<\/p>\n

2. Just because it isn\u2019t plastic doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s real food.<\/strong>
\nThe concept of modern food packaging is meant to fool you into thinking what you are about to eat is \u201cfresh<\/a>\u201d, and therefore guilty of being real by association. \u201cPacked fresh\u201d and \u201cover processed\u201d do not cancel each other out. Be wary of packaged goods.<\/p>\n

3. Your workouts should be defined by strife.
\n<\/strong>When you see someone working out with a smile on their face, chances are they aren\u2019t trying hard enough. Fitness under the Paleo lifestyle is meant to be difficult, challenging and explosive at the same time. So dismiss the concept of \u201ccardio\u201d and opt for a more high intensity interval approach.<\/p>\n

4. An ever-changing variety will set you free to reach your goals<\/strong>
\nCavemen and women had all kinds of physical and nutritional obstacles in their way. This led them to eat what they could and exert their power as was necessary. Thus was born the concept of variety being the spice of life. So spice<\/a> up your meals, workouts and your life by avoiding consistency for too long!<\/p>\n

5. Cavemen evolved by outsmarting the world \u2013 Give them credit!<\/strong>
\nYou will hear all kinds of criticism for embracing this way of life. But the bottom line is that cavemen had to out-hustle, out-smart and out-last every animal on the planet to become the dominant species. In order to understand this way of life you must give credit to the architects who forged the way!<\/p>\n
