The Paleo Diet
Essentially the Paleo diet (or Caveman diet) is just meat and veg.  It comes from the idea that humans are hunter gatherers and therefore would only eat what they could hunt or what they could forage.  This means no wheat, no grains etc.

So, no rice, no pasta, no bread, no corn.

Meat should be grass fed in order to avoid grains coming through your meat sources.

The Paleo diet forces your body to use fat as a fuel as the diet is very low in carbohydrates.  As a result, it is essential that good fats are consumed daily (coconut oil, olive oil, nuts but not legumes such as peanuts or cashews).

Training
I train at least three times a week with a personal trainer.  The basic workout is as follows:

Mobility Stretches
Heavy weights (deadlift, squat or bench press)
Supersets x 2 of push/pull (such as overhead press and rows, step ups and pull ups)
Cardio (medicine ball slams or HIIT)
Ab work (planks, leg raises etc)
Stretches
