The Primal Diet is very similar to the Paleo Diets which are also known as the Cave Man Diet.
A Man Explains the Paleo Philosophy
The Stone Age Diet or Cave Man Diet are both Paleo Diets and resemble the Primal Diet in many ways.
These diets are based on what man probably ate before the agricultural period started some 10,000 years ago.
No dairy, grains, or legumes/beans are eaten on the paleo diets because of the belief that these foods were not available during these hunter-gatherer years.
Paleo dieters consider grains, legumes and beans toxic because of the anti-nutrients found in these foods.
So basically, these diets are based on a more primative way of eating meat, fruit, vegetables, and nuts.
What people ate that far back - may not be anywhere close to this type of diet, but that does not necessarily take away from the potential of this way of eating.
The following diet is based on a lot of the principles of a Stone Age Diet or Cave Man Diet with a few exceptions such as raw dairy.

Belief System of the Primal Diet
Raw fats bind to the toxins in the body, which are then more easily transported out of the body
Raw meat and other raw animal products digest more easily and efficiently
Heating proteins denatures animal products
The bacteria in raw meat is good, but the bacteria in cooked meat is bad
Meat and fats that are cooked produce extreme toxicity, whereas meats and fats that are raw produce no toxic effects.
Eating vegetables should be avoided as we cannot digest cellulose very well. However, juiced vegetables are recommended for vitamins and minerals
All grains should be avoided because humans can't digest grains
Parasites are your friends and are there to clean up decay. They only become pathogens in a toxic, non-organic, "cooked" environment
One Woman's Experience with The Primal Diet
My Personal Experience With This Diet
My personal experience with raw animal foods has been very mixed. On one level it was the most powerful and fulfilling diet I have ever been on and then on another level it was one of the most difficult.
It's not very easy to get raw milk or raw dairy. In some states you literally have to be part of an underground operation. I think Heroin addicts have an easier time getting drugs than someone trying to get wholesome and safe milk.
There is also a social aspect to this type of eating that most people can't seem to overcome ....it is not socially or politically correct to eat this way.
I do have to admit that this diet gave me an endurance and strength that I had not really experienced prior to eating this way.
The power of this particular diet seems to correspond with powerful nutrients such as Glutathione,
Sulfur
and Activator X.
Potential Health Issues
This diet can be very high in saturated fats and may not contain enough unsaturated fats which are also considered
Healthy Fats.
Too much saturated fats especially animal saturated fats could cause tumor growth and breathing problems to name just a couple potential health issues.
This diet is fairly low in fiber and this could create constipation and blood sugar issues for some people.
And there is a good risk of parasitical and bacterial problems that could arise from eating raw animal foods that have not been handled properly.
More or less, it will depend on the strength of your immune system as well as the quality of the food you consume.
Also, you will need to pay attention to getting enough minerals and Alkaline Foods,
so that you don't end up with an acidic ph balance.
Some Advice
You can watch the rest of this interview by going to that site and getting a free day pass - it is very informative.
Aajonus has written a couple of books on how to eat on this diet and that is the cheapest way to understand his theories and his experience with this way of eating.
He also has a newsletter (subscription based) and you can always talk to Jim (at website below) for any assistance.
I do have deep respect for Aajonus and do find him to be a very fascinating source of information. Although, I don't know if I respect him more for creating this diet or having the mental ability to conquer the fear of parasites and bacteria.
