PICTURE, if you will, the next scene. The date: 10,000 years BC. The area: a cave. The event: family dinnertime on the dank late-autumn evening, the walls of

the cave illuminated by the light Lida Weight Loss of the roaring fire. The participants: an assortment of children, several mangy pets, a mum, a dad. Perhaps the mum looks

not entirely unlike Raquel Welch in her career--defining doeskin bikini. Probably the dad looks not entirely unlike the chap penning this article.

"Hey babe," the dad says to Raquel. "I don't suppose there's any possibility of another part of your delicious gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, additive

-free sticky toffee pudding?" "Sure thing," Raquel replies. "After all, I've without doubt that in about another 12 millennia what we should describe as the

Paleo diet but will unfortunately colloquially come to be known as the caveman diet will -- apparent improvements in nutrition notwithstanding -- be quite

the trend. Knock yourself too much, darling."

And so on.

Satirising the currently fashionable Paleo weight loss program is not difficult. Which should not suggest, however, that such mockery is justified. As I have

found over the past week, going Paleo -- while an admittedly complicated and time-consuming project -- feels neither absurd nor weird. Quite the opposite:

the restrictions actually begin to emerge as both commonsensical and proper. Not to mention healthy.

Bottom line: after seven days adhering (more or less) to the guidelines, I'm carrying less anxiety, less negative feelings and -- most importantly -- less

weight. Not much less weight, perhaps -- I've got a lot to experience with -- but still a substantial amount.

My brief was to adopt a Paleo regime for a week. To assist me in this endeavour I was invited to Pure Taste in Notting Hill, London, soon to spread out as

Britain's first Paleo restaurant. Arriving there, I am greeted by Adib Bamieh, the operations manager and co-owner. I glance at the menu while Bamieh says

he's chosen two starters for me to try, the mussels and also the pigeon. Then the salmon and also the venison as a main. Then a posset, a tart and the

aforementioned sticky toffee pudding to complete. "Bring it on," I tell him.

I'm no gourmet, so suffice to say the entire ensuing shebang is delicious. Still, I wish to know what this complete Paleo business is all about. Bamieh

explains.

"It means you do not eat pro-cessed food. You only consume food the human body can digest easily. The caveman thing is perfect for easy reference, the

primary point because if it was available 10,000 years ago the body have evolved to eat it. Previously 60 years your diet have changed more than in those

previous 10,000 years. What we eat Lida Daidaihua Slimming Capsule has become very grain-heavy."

Grains, I learn, would be the main no-no for Paleo people. Why? Due to their chief constituent, that is gluten. For Paleos, gluten may be the devil's work.

"No human being on Earth," says Bamieh, "was born using the enzyme to digest gluten. Grains are essentially not for human consumption." And merely to be

clear, by grains we're talking wheat, barley, oats, hops and -- especially -- corn.
