"Paleo-Diet" Trashed!
June 1, 2013 at 11:48 am
The latest bit of New Age Woo-Woo gets raked over the coals.
http://hells-ditch.com/2012/08/archaeolo...aleo-diet/
Quote:When asked what she would tell people who wished to pursue a true paleolithic diet, Dr. Hoyes laughed harshly before replying. ”You really want to be paleo? Then don’t buy anything from a store. Gather and kill what you need to eat. Wild grasses and tubers, acorns, gophers, crickets- They all provide a lot of nutrition. You’ll spend a lot of energy gathering the stuff, of course, and you’re going to be hungry, but that’ll help you maintain that lean physique you’re after. And hunting down the neighbor’s cats for dinner because you’ve already eaten your way through the local squirrel population will probably give you all the exercise you’ll ever need.”
Summing up what many considered to be the main point of the entire conference, she told reporters:
“Look, the diet itself is sound; it’s the philosophy that’s bullshit. Eat what you want. Just leave the damn cavemen out of it.”

I know a lot of people who follows this diet. They are also cross fitters.

These whackos always ignore the fact that life expectancy in the paleolithic was about 25.

A diet based on eating only foods that were available to cavemen, essentially. Lots of meat, veg, and nothing processed. There's limitations on grains, since they weren't around back then.

Gonna be hard finding veggies that were available to "cavemen". Meat too, really. Amusingly, of the three things offered - grains are probably one of the first things available to "cavemen".

I know corn is a huge no-no if you're eating paleo, wheat too.

Yeah, I can understand corn, but wheat? Wheat is one of the few things that someone from a pre-ag time period might recognize as food. They won't know wtf a tomato is, for example. Id place a bet at 10-1 that these paleo types diets are "fully modern"....just sayin.
