16 Signs You’re Primal!
By
Going “Primal” or “Paleo” is a bit vague and can be confusing as to what exactly constitutes following a diet and lifestyle more representative of our ancestors. Below are 16 (humorous) Signs You’re Following a Primal Diet and Lifestyle Correctly.
You know you’re primal when…
1. You smell like coconuts (thanks coconut oil!)
2. You like to eat with your fingers
3. You have a “meat man” or participate in “cowpooling“
4. You opt for more meat instead of dessert
5. You own a coffee mug that says, “Bacon is meat candy!”
6. You think Gary Taubes is the best thing since sliced bacon
7. You can go at least 16 hours without food and not kill anyone
8. You imagine wild animals chasing you when you do sprints
9. You contemplate eating a scorpion after you kill it (I bet she would too!)
10. Your favorite TV shows are: Human Planet, Survivorman & I-Caveman
11. You own more pairs of Vibrams than high heels or dress shoes
12. Your friends think you whiten your teeth, but you don’t
13. You look better naked than with clothes on (just a guess, but I think he might fit this description)
14. When in a dilemma you ask yourself, “What would Mark Sisson do?”
15. You ask people, “Are you going to eat your fat?” and you’re not just reciting Caddyshack
16. You pull your car around your driveway with a rope and bare hands as part of your workout… and contemplate moving your neighbor’s SUV

17. Your dog looks longingly at the bone you’re gnawing on.
Ha! I unconsciously assumed I was reading a guy until I red item #13. :P
You know you’re primal when you fight your spouse for last night’s dinner for breakfast.
When your meat guy asks if you want to buy more heart, liver, or suet.
When your friends pay you for stuff in bacon.
When you refer to yourself as a ‘free range human.
When you invent exercises in the trees around your home..
When you practice handstands & arm balances at any opportunity, and make progress regularly.
When your buddies call you up, informing you of a very recent elk roadkill on a certain mountain highway, and want to know if you’ll come help butcher it…
When you wake up early in the morning light, thinking about ways to further escape the Matrix of the urban technobubble.
Cheers!
When I fish out the organ meats from our home kills and share the beef liver with man’s best friend.
That’s awesome! Made me laugh….because I could definitely identify with most of those statements.
Thanks!
You know you’re primal when you tell someone, “I have no idea how much of it I ate, but I was full.”
Very cute. Love it!
