Paleo Is Science not a Fad

Make these changes and watch your life change by leaps and bounds for the better.

• Limit fructose to less than 25 grams per day. Ideally, you'll also want to limit the amount of fructose from fruit to 15 grams per day, as you're likely consuming 'hidden' fructose if you eat even small amounts of processed foods or sweetened beverages
• Limit or eliminate all processed foods
• Eliminate all gluten, and highly allergenic foods from your diet
• Eat organic foods whenever possible, preferably locally-grown
• Eat at least one-third of your food uncooked (raw), or as much as you can manage
• Increase the amount of fresh vegetables in your diet
• Avoid artificial sweeteners of all kinds
• Swap all trans fats (vegetable oils, margarine etc) for healthful fats like raw butter or coconut oil
• To re-balance your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, take a high-quality omega-3 supplement, such as krill oil, and reduce your consumption of processed omega-6 fats from vegetable oils (trans fats)
• Drink plenty of pure water
• Optimize your vitamin D levels, either through appropriate sun exposure, a safe tanning bed, or as last resort an oral vitamin D3 supplement

Personally, I would stress avoiding grains and legumes, but I realize it takes a while for people to move all the way over to this side of the nutrition spectrum.

How to be a Real Rebel

Here is a super article from J. Stanton about the entrenchment poor eating has had on the economic system. He didn't even mention the health insurance industry although he did say millions of people have died when they followed bad dietary advice. Here is just a sampling:

• The medical and nutritional establishments hate paleo, because we’re exposing the fact that they’ve been wrong for decades and have killed millions of people with their bad advice.
• The agribusinesses and industrial food processors hate paleo, because we’re hurting their business by not buying their highly profitable grain- and soy-based products.
• The mainstream media hates paleo, because they profit handsomely from advertising those grain- and soy-based products.
• The government hates paleo, because they’re the enforcement arm of big agribusinesses, industrial food processors, and mainstream media—and because their subsidy programs create mountains of surplus grain that must be consumed somehow.

The entire article is very good. You must read the whole thing. Even when I was a vegetarian for ten years I didn't run into such a compelling augment until now. READ IT HERE.

People Just Can't Stand Paleo

I don't know why. It's scientific. It works. People are satisfied when their leptin is at a proper level thanks to protein and fat.

It's not a fad.

Bad advice should be a fad.

I think one day may lead you to give up hanging out with certain friends...
