Even if it's paleo ben & jerry's and paleo hot dogs?0 -
I think you may be one of those little guys that just likes to freaking argue for arguing sake. I like to applaud myself for telling you to go somewhere else. If you don't like the ideas of the people on this board, or in life in general...go away. Obviously, you find flaws in us all. Do I care, no. Because I don't go home to you at night. Go eat your pasta and fill up that glycogen, while I go eat a steak and salad.
He just asked you to provide empirical evidence as to why Paleo is better than a common calorie restricted diet. No need to get all huffy puffy and tell him to go away.0 -

I'm not sure that taking some defensive stance with no actual evidence found to back up your claim is helping the validity of your former posts.
"I don't know what to say because I am wrong, so now I will be rude for no reason."
Is that what you're about?
We just try to educate people who need it. Not excessively argue for our own egotistical pleasure.0 -
Why are you trying to criticize me for simply telling you that you have misconceptions regarding nutrition and the body's metabolic response to macronutrients?I think you may be one of those little guys that just likes to freaking argue for arguing sake.

You are spouting ideas that are false. While they may work for YOU, you act as though paleo is somehow superior to a non-paleo diet. If you said, "I like paleo, but it isn't the universally best diet" then that's fine. But you didn't - you actually tried to make the claim that paleo has a metabolic edge.

I highly, highly suggest you read that. You'll probably ignore it, but you should. It will explain lots.0 -

People, THERE IS MORE TO HEALTH THAN WEIGHT LOSS.
Are there weight loss advantages to a calorie restricted paleo diet versus a calorie restricted Twinkie diet in metabolically healthy individuals? No.
But the OP did not even ASK ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS.0 -

thank youuuuuu0 -
Fair enough.People, THERE IS MORE TO HEALTH THAN WEIGHT LOSS.
Are there weight loss advantages to a calorie restricted paleo diet versus a calorie restricted Twinkie diet in metabolically healthy individuals? No.
But the OP did not even ASK ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS.
OP - there is no health advantage to a paleolithic diet than a non-paleolithic diet assuming your calories are moderated, macronutrients balanced, and minimal micronutrients met.
Clear?0 -
LOL. You LIVE for it.
Maybe arguing makes his deadlift numbers go up! PR in arguing!0 -

Exactly what health advantages does a paleo diet provide?0 -

You do realize, a sensibly made diet should be constructed with sufficient micronutrient intake and avoid harmful dietary substances (like synthetic trans-fats).
Therefore a Paleo diet is in no way more or less healthy than a sensibly constructed diet.0 -
Maybe being wrong, getting called out, and then going into defensive mode makes you hit your goals quicker. The pendulum of judgment goes both ways.Maybe arguing makes his deadlift numbers go up! PR in arguing!
Are you going to keep sitting here pouting, or maybe learn something by reading the links we've provided? Call us blunt if you want, but we're at least offering information that is based on empirical research. You have provided nothing but anecdotal evidence, and when that was pointed out, you accused us of getting off on arguing.
Read the links, provide concrete information, stop accusing us of just wanting to argue, or leave. Despite our blunt approach, we are contributing in some form.0 -

What about eating meat, veggies & fruit and healthy fats has your knickers in such a twist?0 -

Does trolling and being consistently rude help you feel better about being misinformed?
I've been providing actual studies and evidence to my claims, only to your benefit. It would be wise if you did less feel-good trolling and more reading on the actual evidences and links posted.0 -

good grief0 -
No one has an issue with that.What about eating meat, veggies & fruit and healthy fats has your knickers in such a twist?
There's an issue with claiming grains, dairy, and legumes are bad, though, and having ZERO proper empirical evidence to support such a claim.0 -
seriously?
Yes. Serious. Why u mad?0 -
What about eating meat, veggies & fruit and healthy fats has your knickers in such a twist?
Absolutely nothing. Please go back and reread my post and realize that I never said Paleo or primal eating is disadvantageous; I only stated that it is unnecessarily restrictive and offers no physiological benefit in comparison to any other sensibly constructed diet.0 -
Yes. Serious. Why u mad?
uhh i think we can all handle oursleves here. thanks.0 -
Yes, but that is not what you said. You said "Paleo is silly and in no way advantageous to any other calorie restrictive diet."

Wait, did I ever say "grains, dairy, and legumes are bad?" And did I actually say that I find a benefit in my own personal energy levels and lifestyle when eating a diet BASED OFF of fats, fruit and veggies? While cutting out processed foods. Oh, and that I actually live a sort of "revised" Paleo lifestyle. Goodness.0 -
Yes, but that is not what you said. You said "Paleo is silly and in no way advantageous to any other calorie restrictive diet."
I said that because it's true and I've provided ample evidence to support my claim. If you're referring to the word "silly" - I consider any pointlessly restrictive diet that provides no advantages to any other calorie restrictive diet "silly".0 -
uhh i think we can all handle oursleves here. thanks.
It's okay, I think it's kinda cute.0 -

So what I see as personal benefits from eating the way I do, is...silly?0 -
Was my response directed towards you, or another poster?Wait, did I ever say "grains, dairy, and legumes are bad?"

Have you read our links yet? Or is ignorance too bliss to challenge your own preconceived notions?0 -
It's okay, I think it's kinda cute.
LOL. im going to resume my normal life - thanks for your help girl
