Paleo.

Giving up legumes is stupid. Better advice is "eat more legumes"

I am still unsure as to what a legume is

Because they are so totally healthy for EVERYONE? Wrong.

Some people can eat legumes. Some cannot. So the ones who get sick from them should just keep eating them because you say they are good for everyone? Yeah, I was stupid like that for 20 years. Now I'll use my own brain and trust my own experience. But thanks anyway.

So people who CAN eat them SHOULDN'T because of your "biological issues"?

This is what starts to PISS ME OFF. I was responding to the previous blanket statement. I am talking about SOME PEOPLE like ME. I live with an entire group of people that do not tolerate legumes (Inuit) so I am far from a special snowflake. I did not make the blanket statement that NO ONE should eat legumes. SOME people should not eat legumes IF they get sick from them. (Is it logical to keep eating a food that makes one sick? I know it seems logical to some, not me!) OTHER PEOPLE CAN EAT LEGUMES WITH NO PROBLEMS. So, if they want to eat legumes- eat the legumes! DUH

Clear enough yet?

Reading skills and comprehension might come in handy.

The Paleo diet may lead to becoming hangry...


Calm down, take a deep breath.

People cannot read and comprehend yet they persist in posting in the forums. I am justified in being frustrated with ignorance.

Yes, my reading and comprehension skills are clearly inferior, substandard, and virtually nonexistent.

1. It I nothing like how actually paleolithic people ate.
2. It is not some magical fat loss solution.
3. too restrictive for me.
4. There are about 1000 different versions of it, which I am still trying to figure out why. If Paleo is so great why not do it 100% of the time.
5. If you want to do it, great. Just realize, the previous four items that I posted still hold true.

it's not restrictive...just buy our product. processed whey is as good as raw milk if we say so....

Lol. Is it any good. I've been eating Primal Blueprint for a while now and have never been asked to buy any of the products.

I think because it's got sugar and processed stuff in, it's just sold to you lot, because apparently as long as it fits your macro's you'll eat any old crap!

Just a joke by the way, I would never offend IIFYM.

I have bacon cooked in butter on whole wheat bread smothered in cheese.
If that's paleo then I am in.

It's not. I don't know how bacon could even be considered Paleo since it is a man-made food.

I am pretty sure the pig mum and dad made it

Even if a mom and dad pig existed in the paleolithic era, I highly doubt they made smoked, cured pork belly. :huh:

Oh what are you doing to me?! Food porn.

Go to the Primal/Paleo Support Group. It gets stupid here. Unless you just want to hear how terrible and dangerous etc it is by people who know nothing about it and have never tried to eat a more biologically appropriate diet. Because everything in a box is the best food that we all should be eating. And the fact that most of society is fat/sick? Only because they lack "willpower". Nothing at all to do with the food we put in our bodies. :noway:

Or HOW MUCH food we put in our bodies.
Gotta agree... it's getting stupid in here.

LOL at "biologically appropriate"

You need to study history, biology, anthropology, nutrition, metabolic processes etc then. We've been highly processed foods for less than a hundred years. If you think that doesn't impact our physiology/health at all (and haven't read any of the mountains of research that supports it) then it's you that I'm LOLing at.

Yeah, okay. I'm not sure what YOU'RE studying, but I have a feeling it's a bunch of blogs and personal opinions.

Yep, pretty much!

To the "mountains of research" poster, most of my relatives/ancestors are farmers. They raise their own chicken (and not in farms, just a couple of chicken like 10-15, and give them all natural foods grown by themselves), they eat vegetables from their own crops, nothing processed. NOTHING. I mean they don't even have electricity over there. Most of them have died from cancer, and other health complications at relatively young ages.

On the other hand, my grandmother, mom and myself (and brothers, etc.) live in the city and we are doing just fine with our processed junk as you paleos call it. Paleo lifestyle does NOT guarantee health by any means. You can decide to eat whatever you want cause in the end you'll die anyway and Paleo is not going to save you from the odds. By the way, my grandmother has outlived her ancestors. I rest my case.

Bacon is just pork belly that's usually brined and, if you're doing it right, smoked. It's not "man made" in the way, say, a diet coke is. I don't think paleo means you must eat everything raw and brining/smoking is pretty basic when it comes to cooking meat. Either way, if you're worrying about whether you're allowed to eat something because you're unsure about how old the cooking technique is, you're doing it wrong.

Paleo is one of those diets where I see most people treating it as a guide and not as gospel, and I personally don't see much harm in that if you can deal with the exclusions. The whole "caveman" spiel just makes me roll my eyes, but at the end of the day I don't think you can go too wrong eating high quality meats and fresh vegetables.

if you did Paleo you would have a higher IQ and the you would be able to comprehend what they are saying better....

I cannot stop laughing...just too hilarious

<snip>...at the end of the day I don't think you can go too wrong eating high quality meats and fresh vegetables.

I totally agree with this. But you don't have to follow the "Paleo Diet" to do that. And, of course, legumes are vegetables. :drinker:

No, heroine is dope. Just say no to dope!

Bad meme is bad. Yes, caves actually do come with built-in air-conditioning. Most caves stay between 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. (The more you know!)

So you can't eat any legumes at all? Do you have IBS? My husband can't eat some types of legumes because he has Crohn's disease, but others are digested just fine. Usually, an issue with food tolerance means an underlying medical condition.

Mountains of research? Meh - there is also plenty of research that suggests that processed foods are not dangerous.

Overeating any type of food will cause health related issues and weight gain.

Additionally, to suggest that humans have not changed or evolved over the last 10,000 years is a clear indication that you do not have a grasp on the subjects that you referenced.

This is why I usually stay out of these forums.

How much evolution is thought to occur in 10,000 years??? How genetically different are we from Paleolithic peoples?

Actually it is YOU that has little grasp. I did not reference anything specifically- do your own research and draw your own conclusions but please don't ridicule the views of others. I have spent thousands of hours studying all manner of subjects. Maybe you should spend a few hours doing the same.

I'm done with the condescension here.

Uh, humans have actually evolved quite a bit over the last 10,000 years. The average human is about 2 inches taller now, and that's just in the last 100 years. Then there's lactase persistence, which was a huge evolutionary adaptation, roughly 9700 years ago. Then there's all the various evolutionary adaptations our immune systems have gone through to deal with diseases.

Also, to your previous post. The paleo diet has absolutely nothing to do with the historical human diet, which happened to be very heavy in grains, grasses, legumes, and root vegetables, pretty much everything the "paleo" diet insists people should cut out.

That actually doesn't make any sense. What is the difference in the processing, in your mind? Is it the number of steps required, the length of time it takes, the number of tools used?

I love cheese

^^ it goes well with BACON!

Personally, I'll start to take paleo people seriously when I see them eating insects. Until then, no.

...Especially when I see them making "faux, non-paleo" stuff, like the way "vegetarians" eat "faux meat." It's like, if your diet is so great, then why are you trying to make a bastardized version of my diet? :laugh:
