OH MY GOSH. I have a friend who I've known since I was a kid. Seriously she's always been adorable but just the pudgy friend. Not overweight or anything but just stocky, you know? She went Paleo a few years back and she looks like a freaking MODEL now. Some people are just MADE for Paleo. It is great and super healthy and when combined with exercise (because, you know, people are meant to be active), it's the best way to be fit and healthy. Well, one of the best ways. Good luck! I can't wait to hear how it works out for you!0

a friend's mother cured her MS by eating paleo. truly an amazing nutrition plan, though tough to implement.0

There are also, if one researches, some pretty bad stories of people on paleo developing various health issues and ending up feeling like crap, so it goes both ways.0

Tried it, loved it, lost 20lbs in 3 months, combined with CrossFit. I now got a Groupon deal through www.emeals.com recently and used it for a breakfast/lunch/diner mealplanner specified for Paleo, and it is so easy because it makes a grocery list for you! Gives great ideas for Paleo!0

As for Paleo, it isn't a magic bullet, it's just another in a long line of restrictive diet plans, like Atkins, or South Beach, or Dukan, etc. Short answer, if you don't want to eat the foods that paleo says don't eat, don't eat them. If you have no medical reason for restricting your diet unnecessarily, then don't waste your time with it, as you won't have any more success doing things this way than you will with any other eating plan. It works because it restricts the foods you can and can't eat, which leads to a caloric deficit. No magic involved.0 -

guys, why would i say it if it weren't true? lol i have nothing to gain by it - I don't even eat paleo.
look it up. http://www.terrywahls.com/0 -
guys, i love this group-hate on these boards, where a diet MUST be BS if it's different from what you do. Paleo is NOT calorie-restrictive! There are plenty of athletes who are paleo.
why don't you step outside your tiny self-built boxes (your comfort zone) and consider that someone else may have a valid, and interesting point before you dismiss it?
Also, Terry Wahls is the mother of my friend Zach Wahls (the kid who was in the news for giving an amazing speech to congress about being a boy scout and the son of two gay parents - was on all the talk shows, has written a book, etc, etc if that rings any bells. Awesome family)0 -

Is there any there any thread you post in where you present evidence in the form of study related data instead of you tube videos of anedotal stories? Paleo can be a healthy diet if you can tolerate the restictiveness of it. It is however no more healthy than any other diet based on eating nutrient dense whole foods.
On the whole MS thing, my wife has had MS for 12 years. You obviously know very little about MS if you think it can be cured. It can go into periods of remission but never cured. It is a progressive disease and the best that can happen is a lack of progression. As with most of the threads you post in, you make yourself look less than credilble when you make these kind of statements and then you want to argue about it with a pile of anecdotal stuff.
Edited to add: Just visited Dr. Wahl's website. I was already familiar with her story. She doesn't claim to be cured. She claims to have stopped progression and regained functionality. All of this is possible and a whole foods diet as well as exercise can certainly help with this. This is not however a "cure". If you wish to be taken seriously, it helps to get your facts straight.0 -
My friend eats paleo and believes it helps her with a wide range of health issues from bloating, to acne, to headaches, etc. etc. Unfortunately as an outside observer it doesn't appear to significantly help with any of those issues.(As they are still omnipresent)0

I'll be more careful with my word choice in the future, however, you just agreed that eating paleo gave her an incredibly improved quality of life. That's all I meant to insinuate. And I use anecdotes because they're people I know, and things I've seen with my own eyes. I know that doesn't grant much credibility on a message board so I do understand where you're coming from.0
