Most "Diets" are...so what's new!
most diets are a lie??? unaware
paleo diet is based on early humans eating in the Paleolithic era, but the "paleo diet" isnt based on food eaten in the Paleolithic era. hence the thread0 -
LOL Sounds to me like she was insulting and promoting it at the same time....0

I think it's obvious that it is virtually impossible to actually replicate a paleolithic diet considering our current technology and the way nearly everything is treated and has been selectively bred.
I think it's also common knowledge that paleo diets (in the paleolithic era) actually varied and not necessarily consistent with what is commonly referred to as paleo.
Also, my ancestors did evolve to digest dairy which is inconsistent with current paleo diets and primal diets.0 -
Did you watch it? Your title is not accurate. She was promoting clean eating. She dissed the idea of pure Paleo, but was promoting the general idea of clean whole food eating. Lol.
I guess it sucks when you're trying to make a point and jump to conclusions based on the title. Lol. The devil is in the details my friend. I believe she was promoting Paleo. She was just saying that our version of it isn't really possible.
How is eating clean exclusive to a paleo or primal diet? Many people believe that eating clean is ideal without following paleo or primal ideologies. Paleo and primal blueprint are pretty specific and were pretty thoroughly debunked in this video (which is accurate if you do research).0 -

lol paleo is a concept - it's not the exact totalitarian dictatorship haters want it to be.
i eat primarily primal. (haha) and guess what? I eat rice now and again, potatoes, peanut butter - none of which are "allowed" according to a paleo diet, but who gives a ****? 80% of my food comes from meat, fish, poultry, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds - which i think is a pretty damn healthy way to eat if i do say so myself
there's nothing to "lie" or "tell the truth" about - it's just a concept based on our best guesses of what our bodies are designed to process and utilize most optimally.
people need to relax0 -

It's true. Most diets are not based on facts at all. A well-balanced diet that includes a wide variety of foods doesn't really sell books, but it's really the only thing with a basis in science.0 -

My response is: who cares? My question: is this a surprise to anyone?? Did anyone really think people doing it thought they were eating like paleolithic man?? It's just a concept. If you like it, do it. If not, don't.0

True. And my mom has read all those books. :laugh:0 -
Didn't our early ancestors die in their 30's?0

So much of paleo is conjecture anyhow. what is healthy for one person is not for another. I think we can all agree that modern manufactured frankenfoods are UNHEALTHY and not fit for human consumption. PaleoFx is going on right now, blows my mind that they need a convention to talk about food and health.
She makes some interesting points.
If we ate like our ancestors 150 years ago, we'd do just fine. Unfortunately so much food has been GMO'd they've become bastardized. re: Wheat Belly by Davis.
The vegans say we're not adapted to meat eating. LOL
And for the really curious, look into "Intervention Theory" by Lloyd Pye. http://www.lloydpye.com/interventionebook.html He's got vids on youtube also.0 -

Yes Aliens, they can be used to explain any unexplained phenomenon.0

I don't care if the term is accurate. I eat paleo/primal because I have ibs and my body like it. I feel like most of the paleo community also found the lifestyle due to medical conditions. The standard American diet is unhealthy for me and results in my spending my life in the toilet. Healthy for me is paleo. Maybe not for you. Your choice.0

The Omnivore's Dilemma is about the only "diet" I agree with and it's not a diet.
Basically just talks about we should eat like our Grandfathers and Great grandfathers did.
The whole paleo thing IMO is a bunch of crap for reasons stated in above posts.0 -
I don't think the video is necessarily saying that diets based on paleolithic humans are a lie, but more-so stating the fact that you are not truly eating like a paleolithic person and the impossibility of it in modern times. I eat primal and in the Primal Blueprint, he states pretty clearly that you are extracting the useful information from the diets of our distant ancestors and adapting a modern diet as best as possible. I also didn't care for her explanation of how humans are not adapted in any way to eating meat. I mean, the fact that we CAN eat meat, mostly without ill effect, and our systems are identical to neither herbivores nor carnivores, is some indication we have adapted to eat meat, no?0

Cool, is that based in game theory? Like if I defect and you cooperate then you get stuck with a carrot and I get a steak. But if we both cooperate then we each get a smaller but well balanced meal?The Omnivore's Dilemma is about the only "diet" I agree with and it's not a diet.0 -
Most people who eat "paleo" are eating a diet based on the paleo era and not the crud that is labeled "The Paleo Diet" and most of them from what I can see, strive to eat that way at least 80%, meaning they can have non-paleo foods sometimes also. It's not a diet based on strictness, it's based on finding what works for your body and makes it feel better. That's why some paleo peeps do dairy and some don't. That's JMO.0
