Paleo Diet

GENERAL INFO

Healthy, delicious, and simple, the Paleo Diet is the diet you were designed to eat. [1]
The Paleo Diet is a compelling read for anyone interested in diet and its linkage to health." [3]
Whether Paleo Diet is the "ultimate" dietary habit or not, it seems to be at the very least a much better alternative to the not entirely well thought out diets we meet in weekly magazines. [4]
You see where I'm going with this, do you? The Paleo diet is one of those things that we can pick up quickly and easily, a little bit of forager life we can adopt now, rather than later. It's an angle on primitivism that's largely left unexplored. I want to be able to basically tell the average American that primitivism will give him more energy, make him lose weight, make him more attractive, and give him a better sex lifey'know, the tagline that always works on Americans.

The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat is Loren Cordain's first paleo book. His publisher's page publisher's page. [5] Charles Hunt has written Charles Hunt's Diet Evolution Charles Hunt's Diet Evolution. It is not truly a paleo diet, but more of a low-carb diet. It's subtitle is "Eat Fat and Get Fit". The author is PR oriented and studied up on the web and then wrote the book. [5] Peter D'Adamo's serotype diet book Eat Right 4 Your Type Eat Right 4 Your Type is in sympathy with the paleo diet approach, at least if you are Type O. [5] The Origin Diet: How Eating Like Our Stone Age Ancestors Will Maximize Your Health The Origin Diet: How Eating Like Our Stone Age Ancestors Will Maximize Your Health by Elizabeth Somer. I mainly included this so I could warn you that this isn't really a paleo diet. She pushes beans and whole grains throughout the book, claiming they are paleo. [5] Staffan Lindeberg has written a summary on phytic acid summary on phytic acid. Two common foods clearly are Neolithic and avoiding them is key to a paleo diet. [5]

Eating Like a Caveman Eating Like a Caveman is a page written by Kathleen Doheny. She gives an overview of the paleo diet, then tells of her experience of trying it for a day. Includes this quote by Loren Cordain "If it's a fad, it's the oldest fad going." [5] Chet Day sent a copy of the article by Robert Crayhon ( Interview with Loren Cordain Interview with Loren Cordain ) to the Rea Centre in London, a place claiming to be proponents of a paleo diet. You can check out their counterpoint at Hunter Gatherer Paradigm Examined in New Light Hunter Gatherer Paradigm Examined in New Light. It argues that our ancestors were not big meat eaters. [5] A taste for meat A taste for meat argues that our ancestors three million years ago ate a lot of small mammals that could be caught without tools. The Caveman Diet The Caveman Diet is the CBS story on 48 hours where they featured Ray Audette and the paleo diet. [5]

The Paleo Diet The Paleo Diet is Loren Cordain's site. It promotes his book and also includes, for free download, PDF files of all of his scientific articles on Paleo Diet. [5] Regimen to promote neuroprotection and encourage nerve repair Regimen to promote neuroprotection and encourage nerve repair by Dr. Anthony G. Payne pushes the paleo diet. Especially see his links on turmeric. A diet high in phytic acid, which can be found in whole grains (it's in the bran) and beans like soy, is very detrimental for mineral absorption. [5]


The Paleolithic diet (or Paleolithic nutrition ), also popularly known as the paleo diet (var.: paleodiet ), caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a dietary regimen which emulates the diet of wild plants and animals that humans habitually consumed during the Paleolithic, a period of about 2.5million years duration that ended around 10,000years ago with the development of agriculture. [6] Beautifully written, The Paleo Diet takes us from the theory to the day-to-day practice of the native human diet." "Dr. Cordain offers a recipe for improved health based on his assessment of a range of information from modern medicine, anthropology, archaeology, and nutrition science. [3] " The Paleo Diet not only lays out the basic nutrition plan for weight loss and good health, but also for peak performance in athletic competition. It works." [3]

The restrictionsno grains, legumes, dairy products, or processed foodssounded formidable, as did the requirements—fresh meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, the wilder/more organic the better. My health problems have recently goaded me into adopting a rough form of this diet, and I've needed a diet manual to focus and refine my new food choices. Voila! I found The Paleo Diet just yesterday and am already convinced it's the right diet book for me. [3] The book, The Paleo Diet, is available at your local book store or on line at Amazon.com Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. These sites contain sample pages, reviews by readers, and other helpful tools. [3] Many of the paleo diet points are echoed in Dr. Willett's book. After reading these two books, I don't see how they could fail to convince anyone. [3] Reviewer: A reader from Hampton, VA, United States I have tried every diet known to man. At least I thought so until I read about the PALEO DIET. It just makes so much sense! Haven't you ever noticed that when you see people in old pictures that there are so few "fat" people. [3] The Paleo Diet is primarily a diet manual, a nutritional primer, and a cookbook, loaded with practical information (e.g. "How to Be a Savvy Shopper for Fish," "Dining Out, Travel, and Peer Pressure," etc.) for readers who want to adapt the Stone Age diet to the 21st century. [3] Filled with delicious recipes and meal plans, The Paleo Diet will open your eyes, trim your waistline, and improve your overall health. [3] " The Paleo Diet is at once revolutionary and intuitive. Its prescription provides without a doubt the most nutritious diet on the planet. [3] The Paleo Diet is a compelling read for anyone interested in diet and its linkage to health." [3] As of yesterday, my blood sugar is now just about normal again. I also had high triglycerides, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and all of these are also reversing naturally, in response to the diet. Those of you who haven't yet tried the Paleo Diet should definitely do so. This is not some "fad" diet - it is the diet we evolved on, the diet mankind ate for 2.5 million years, until agriculture introduced the "foods" (grains and dairy) that are slowly killing most people today. [2] Thought of purchasing a number of books (primarily The Paleo Diet and Life Without Bread), but for some reason stuck with Dangerous Grains, which argues primarily against foods containing gluten. [2] Looking around at how many people have vision problems, I thought "Why weren't there more blind natives in the history books?" After reading about the paleo diet, I realized that myopia has followed grain across the globe. [2] I never filled the prescription, since I was already reading Loren Cordain's book, The Paleo Diet and knew I could whip my diabetes with just a change of diet. [2]

Does anyone know if Quinn has a position on diet? I think of adopting a Paleo diet as a first concrete step to a new Great Remembering which might reverse what he posits to be the Great Forgetting. Adherence to this diet calls into question the stance of many great leaders on food. [2] Great to see another paleo dieter blogging on the subject! I started the Paleo Diet November 2nd of 2007 and, as of last Saturday (December 22nd), I've lost 27 lbs, so far. My weight when I began was 233 lbs and, as of last weekend, it's down to 206. [2] My ideal weight is something around 200 lbs. (I am Russian peasant stock; besides being enormous, I'm also genuinely big-boned), so I've got about 100 lbs. to burn off. More energy, both from less weight to move around, and from using higher-quality energy sources than carbohydrates. The Paleo diet should help alleviate my bouts of depression, allow me to think more clearly, and generally improve both my emotional state and my cognitive abilities. [2] The Paleo diet claims to provide a number of advantages. The Paleo diet makes people move very quickly to their ideal weight. [2]

I never said there was anything wrong with the paleo diet, I was just pointing out that like anything, it does no good to go too far in either direction (excessive meat consumption). [2] If you can't stay on the paleo diet, the 100 mile diet is a good way to go, too (or do both!). [2] BTW, how does alcohol fit into the Paleo diet? No way in hell primitives didn't imbibe from time to time in the other fruit of the yeast. [2]

Word. Dan, the point of the paleo diet is that it's the diet we evolved to eat. [2] Mmmm mmm. Dan, the point of the paleo diet is that it's the diet we evolved to eat. [2]

One point that all these paleo diets ignore is that human civilzation has prospered and grown since grains and agriculture were introduced. [2] I'm personally not completely sold on the evils of grains, in moderation. One point that all these paleo diets ignore is that human civilzation has prospered and grown since grains and agriculture were introduced. [2]

One of the most striking points in favor of the Paleo diet, for me, was when Ben told me, "Also, your feet won't hurt anymore." [2]

I'll read into your source) of the Paleo diet because my health is near optimum at the moment. [2] Whatever diet-related diseases you're suffering from, from allergies to heart disease and diabetes, will be cured for good by the Paleo Diet. [2] You see where I'm going with this, do you? The Paleo diet is one of those things that we can pick up quickly and easily, a little bit of forager life we can adopt now, rather than later. It's an angle on primitivism that's largely left unexplored. I want to be able to basically tell the average American that primitivism will give him more energy, make him lose weight, make him more attractive, and give him a better sex lifey'know, the tagline that always works on Americans. [2] The best way the Paleo Diet has been explained to me is only eat things that you can eat raw in nature. To clarify, this does not mean you have to eat them raw (And many times you shouldn't). [7]

I'm intrigued by the Paleo Diet Paleo Diet phenomenon (if it can be called that) — I have this book this book, for example. [7]

Professor Cordain is a faculty member in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University. The author of more than I00 scientific articles and abstracts, he has focused his research for the past 10 years on the new scientific discipline of evolutionary medicine. His book, The Paleo Diet, detailing the health and weight-loss benefits of hunter-gatherer diets, was published by John Wiley & Sons this month. [8] My health also improved - So as a recovering vegetarian I became very interested in the Paleo Diet. [9] Unlike the Paleo diet Paleo diet, where it is emphasized that only lean meat should be eaten. [9]

When The Paleo Diet was published, advocating a return to the diet of our ancestors (high protein, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables), the book received brilliant reviews from the medical and nutritional communities. [10] Loren Cordain, Ph.D., follows his success of The Paleo Diet with the first book ever to detail the exercise-enhancing effects of a diet similar to that of our Stone Age ancestors. [10]

Now Dr. Cordain joins with USA triathlon and cycling elite coach Joe Friel to adapt the Paleo Diet to the needs of athletes. [10] Doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades, authors of Protein Power, said, "We can't recommend The Paleo Diet highly enough." [10] At every level of competition, The Paleo Diet for Athletes can maximize performance in a range of endurance sports. [10]


Start reading and following The Paleo Diet today and eat your way to weight loss, weight control, increased energy, and lifelong healthwhile enjoying every delicious bite. [1] Healthy, delicious, and simple, the Paleo Diet is the diet you were designed to eat. [1]

If you want to lose weightup to 75 pounds in six monthsor if you want to attain optimal health, The Paleo Diet will do wonders for you. [1] "The Paleo Diet is at once revolutionary and intuitive. Its prescription provides without a doubt the most nutritious diet on the planet." [1] The ideal paleo composition of fats are according to how they occur naturally in animals (meat, fish, eggs) and the plants eaten (nuts, avocado). According to Loren Cordain the paleo diet contains moderate amounts of SFA and PUFA, and more MUFA. Also, the paleo dieter tries to get his share of Omega 3 PUFA. He would advice you eat lean meats (go easy on the muscle fat), and get more fat from oils with good Omega6/Omega3 ratios. [11] On the paleo diet you'll be cutting down on the recreational eating - you primarily eat to stave off hunger, not for fun. [11]

If you want to know the dietary secrets of our Stone Age ancestors that kept them lean, healthy and strong, then you will be delighted to read " The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat The Paleo Diet: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Food You Were Designed to Eat." [12] " The Paleo Diet The Paleo Diet " provides a great overview to the concept of eating pure, whole foods and will be a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their health using proven, natural methods. [12] Based upon scientific research examining the types and quantities of foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate, the foundation of "The Paleo Diet" is lean meat, including ostrich ostrich and bison bison as well as organ meats, seafood, fresh fruit and non-starchy vegetables. [12] The major objection that many experts have to implementing the diet described in "The Paleo Diet" is that the type of meat recommended is not readily available. [12] Dr. Cordain includes a guide to finding natural meat in "The Paleo Diet" and you can also try the grass-fed beef in our site store grass-fed beef in our site store. [12] In Paleo Diet, calcium is instead found in vegetables. This calcium is much easier to absorb in the body when grains and beans are excluded, which is why Paleolithic peoples never have had problems with osteoporosis (brittle-bone disease). [4]

Whether Paleo Diet is the "ultimate" dietary habit or not, it seems to be at the very least a much better alternative to the not entirely well thought out diets we meet in weekly magazines. [4]


A leading scientific expert on Paleolithic nutrition and author of The Paleo Diet adapts his innovative nutritional program to the special needs of athletes in a groundbreaking diet program based on natural selection and evolution that promotes weight loss, normalizes blood cholesterol, increases energy levels, and enhances overall fitness. [13] In November I had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Cordain present his Paleo Diet at my Ultrafit training weekend. As some of you may know, his theories have been getting a lot attention among endurance athletes, largely due to Gordo's active participation in the discussion. [14] Charles Hunt has written Charles Hunt's Diet Evolution Charles Hunt's Diet Evolution. It is not truly a paleo diet, but more of a low-carb diet. It's subtitle is "Eat Fat and Get Fit". The author is PR oriented and studied up on the web and then wrote the book. [15] Peter D'Adamo's serotype diet book Eat Right 4 Your Type Eat Right 4 Your Type is in sympathy with the paleo diet approach, at least if you are Type O. [15]

Dr Stoll's Sugar and Immunity Sugar and Immunity is an article on the Leukocytic Index which shows the devastating effect of refined carbohydrates on immunity. The Skinny on Fat The Skinny on Fat is an overview of the different types of fat and their uses in the body by Dr. Michael G. Kurilla, M.D. AgeLess Resources has added a Paleo Diet Paleo Diet page to their diet section. [15] Krispin Sullivan has written The Lectin Report The Lectin Report. A good place to start to learn about these toxic proteins in Neolithic foods. Buried in the middle of The Revised Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen for Effecting Lysis in Solid Tumors The Revised Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen for Effecting Lysis in Solid Tumors one can find their diet recommendations for tumor control. It has a paleo diet orientation. [15] Staffan Lindeberg has written a summary on phytic acid. Two common foods clearly are Neolithic and avoiding them is key to a paleo diet. [15]

Agriculture Is Bad for You Agriculture Is Bad for You Agriculture Is Bad for You is a brief introduction to the paleo diet that ran in Time Europe. [15] Published in Science Magazine Science Magazine (which requires a subscription). The Caveman Diet The Caveman Diet is the CBS story on 48 hours where they featured Ray Audette and the paleo diet. [15]


When The Paleo Diet was published, advocating a return to the diet of our ancestors high protein, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, the book received brilliant reviews from the medical and nutritional communities. [16] Loren Cordain, Ph.D., follows his success of The Paleo Diet with the first book ever to detail the exerciseenhancing effects of a diet similar to that of our Stone Age ancestors. [16]

Paleo Diet. Author Loren Cordain shows you how our ancestors ate lean protein to maximize their metabolism and energy, prevent heart disease and cancer, and to live longer, more productive lives. The Paleo Diet prescription provides the most nutritious diet on the planet! This book will take you from theory to day-to-day practice of a native human diet. It includes over 100 delicious recipes and six weeks of meal plans. [17] " The Paleo Diet " book goes beyond just a history lesson. It tells how we today can change our diet to closely resemble that of our ancestors, and how in the process our health will improve and eliminate obesity, diabetes, the Syndrome X diseases, and so many other modern diet induced degenerative diseases that were unknown to Paleolithic man. [18] " The Paleo Diet " certainly passes the test of being a sustainable, lifelong program emphasizing natural health and nutrition, and which as a consequence of the emphasis on long term health will also produce weight loss and reverse many or most of the diseases and disorders associated with obesity and modern western diets in general. It does so in a way that is probably equally as healthy as "The Zone Diet", yet much simpler to implement and for which adherence will be much easier long term. [18] " The Paleo Diet " explains these changes, the diseases of modern civilization, and the genetics of how the human body is designed to still be eating the way of our Paleolithic ancestors. [18] The diet plan includes the option of diet sodas. While not actually a requirement of the Paleo Diet, they should not be recommended at all. The human body was not created and/or has not evolved to ingest artificial chemical sweeteners, and no Paleolithic man used them. [18]

Of these, Dr. Loren Cordain's " The Paleo Diet " is the most authoritative and carries my strongest recommendation. [18]
