No grains, no dairy, no salt. No way? Try it, says an author who touts the benefits of a diet consisting mainly of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts and roots. It's the Paleolithic approach to eating - more popularly known as the caveman diet. Author J. Alexander delineates the diet's advantages in his book, "The Prehistoric Diet: For the Modern Man and Woman." He'll discuss it at Stamford First Bank on Monday, Feb. 28, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Alexander says that by adhering to the caveman diet, he morphed from overweight to lean, healthy and happy. The natural weight-loss aspect of the diet helps people trim down without the aid of surgery or diet pills, he says. He'll sign copies of his book during the event at the bank.

Alexander's talk will be part of a community "Health Night" sponsored by the bank. Licensed massage therapist Christina Connors will also present. She will discuss the benefits of massage before Alexander's talk.

The event is free and open to the public. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by calling 203-391-5777. The bank is located at 612 Bedford St.
