Live primal

You may have heard the terms "primal," "paleo," stone age," or "neanderthal" to describe a way of living that is closer to the way our ancestors, past cavemen and cavewomen, lived. They hunted, gathered, and relied on their environment and strength to survive. To Live Primal is to return as much as possible to that way of living.

The primal "diet" or paleo "diet" is not a diet as most people think. It is a complete change of lifestyle. Food is fuel that we obtain from real sources – meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts and oils – not McDonald's. Fitness is play and an every day part of life, not a New Year's resolution and an expensive gym membership that only gets used in January.

If you Live Primal, you are committed to whole, nutritional foods and regular strength and endurance building exercises. You are aware of your body and your surroundings. You are not weighed down by processed foods and carb loads. You are as free as one can be in today's commercialized society.

This site is for anyone who lives primal now or is interested in becoming part of the Live Primal tribe. This site is a resource for all things primal – fuel, fitness, recipes, advice, etc. It also provides a way for Live Primal members to communicate with each other about their experiences and encourage others. So be sure to check out our Live Primal Forum. Everyone can Live Primal.

With today's obesity and health-related issues, more people should get back to the basics. We at Live Primal encourage you to read more about this lifestyle that is not really "revolutionary" – our ancestors lived this way by instinct thousands of years ago!
