Carbs are not the enemy. Sure, some carbs are more beneficial than others but carbs are not bad for you.
You need carbs for proper brain function, energy levels (even for sedentary people), and they are required for building muscle.
If you want to argue that whole grains and all natural carbs are best, I won't argue with you on that point but this notion that carbs are evil needs to go.0 -
OMG! Really? posting that crap in the other thread wasn't enough for you??? If people would spend the time working out that they spent hating on everyone else's diet/lifestyle choices, there would be a lot more skinny people in this world! Do what works for you, and just do it! Everyone is different! What works for one, might not work for another! I mean really? let's hate on a group of people that eat only clean natural occuring foods!!! please no, don't eat lots of fruits and veggies and healthy meats!!! really?
ok, sorry, had to vent, so sick of seeing this crap.
Relax, lol. They're having a healthy, MFP-allowable debate. Discussion does NOT equal an argument. If it does, the mods step in (as they have before) and will handle it. No need to get all worked up over nothing! If this upsets you so much... ignore it and skip through to a different thread!
Frankly, I'm not brave enough to get involved, but as someone who's interested in learning about it, these discussions are a GREAT, fast, efficient way to learn the main points, pros/cons, and see evidence presented by both sides. Please let the rest of us enjoy this thread. Thank you!

you are bang on here, carbs are not the devil, we need them to function it is just a matter of choosing the better ones.Carbs are not the enemy. Sure, some carbs are more beneficial than others but carbs are not bad for you.

The point is, unless you have a job that requires a lot of hard physical labor, there probably is no point in eating so many carbs Our relatives did not have the sedentary lifestyle we do now.
Amen to this! My grandfather (an insurance executive who lived a very sedentary life) ate the same way as his father (a farmer who did a lot of manual labor). My great-grandfather lived to be 97 and was relatively healthy until the end. My grandfather had his first stroke at 68, a couple of heart attacks in his 70's, and died of another stroke at 80.0 -
I should point out the diet I'm on, from the 4 hour body, allows carbs. Except, they are what's called slow burning carbs. In other words, they don't spike your blood sugar. For example, I eat black beans at least once a day, most days twice a day. 1 cup of black beans has 41 grams of carbs. However, I can eat as many black beans as I want.0

I've always gotten a big chuckle out of that diet as well. I'm a classically trained archaeologist, and my specialization was ancient human remains. Hunting wasn't uncommon but it wasn't a staple either. That much is clear in bone records. You can also surmise this simply by examining a modern human body: we haven't evolved lengthy enough digestive tracts or sharp enough teeth to have eaten much meat until more recently. Ancient people survived largely on things like grains and seeds, although their grains were MUCH different than ours are now...our wheat for example has much less fiber in it than it used to; heads were smaller, tougher, and much less starchy than they are today. We've bred our grains just like we've bred our feeding animals: to be meaty, disproportionate, and poorer in nutrients. :frown:

First off the statement that you need carbs for proper brain function is a lie, flat out not true. I'm not saying you are lying, (who knows if you are or not) but at the very least you are repeating a lie that you think is true.
And your straw man argument about carbs being evil is what has to go, NO ONE SAID CARBS ARE EVIL. So claiming that someone said it and the shooting it down is pointless.0 -

I guess not all archaeologist agree with your classical training.
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4122-meat-eating-is-an-old-human-habit.htmlEating meat requires teeth adapted more to cutting than to grinding. The ability to cut is determined by the slope of the cusps, or crests. "Steeper crests mean the ability to consume tougher foods," Ungar says. He has found that the crests of teeth from early Homo skeletons are steeper than those of gorillas, which consume foods as tough as leaves and stems, but not meat.0 -

I agree. I don't understand why people are so concerned in trying to prove other's diets to be wrong? Any diet can and may work great for some people, but not for others. Just because Paleo isn't ideal for you doesn't mean it isn't ideal for others. Some people just need to get off their high horses and get over it.
Agreed. Any time the witch hunters see "Paleo" they get up in arms and HAVE to jump on these threads to "show us" and act like they actually KNOW something.
To each their own. If they aren't in agreement with the Paleo way of eating, ignore the thread, and look for ones that say "carboholics" and join that one.0 -

Even if you claim that you are not attacking a particular poster, which is a rather dubious claim given the evidence, you are certainly attacking the posters in the thread. You call what they post crap. You say they are hating on others lifestyle choices. You shay that they hate on people for eating clean natural occurring foods. You misrepresent what they say acting as if they say don't eat lots of fruits and veggies and healthy meats.
When you are attacking an idea you talk about the idea. This is what the original poster did. When you attack a person you talk about the people. That is what you did.0 -

Nice strawman. That is not what I am saying. I am saying that posting "OMG! Really? posting that crap in the other thread wasn't enough for you???" is attacking the op and not the idea. You then said that you were talking in general, so I said you can have your own opinion but not your own facts. You then admit that you were talking specifically about the OP because he has the temerity to post in another thread.
Now you say he is bashing a lifestyle choice, but posting scientific articles is not bashing a lifestyle choice.
If you were to post an topic with peer reviewed articles saying that a low fat diet was bad I would argue against people telling you to stop or what you were posting is crap.
Finally, posting informative articles is no way bashing people who are living a particular lifestyle. I also see people accusing others of bashing for asking questions. Spreading knowledge and asking questions is not bashing. Saying someone is posting crap is bashing. Again, the difference is between disputing an idea and attacking a person.0 -

Do you honestly think she was arguing against the OP posting bad science or do you think she was telling him that she shouldn't be posting something against paleo?

Now you say he is bashing a lifestyle choice, but posting scientific articles is not bashing a lifestyle choice.
It is when you misrepresent what the article said.
ANd really she did not say the op is crap, (that is another subject altogether ) She said the stuff he was posting is crap. Now if the op had done the research himself and she called it crap, that might be a different story.
Do you honestly think she was arguing against the OP posting bad science or do you think she was telling him that she shouldn't be posting something against paleo? Usually when you are arguing against bad science you post rebuttal science, you don't post a strawman of what the op posted such as : "let's hate on a group of people that eat only clean natural occuring foods!!! please no, don't eat lots of fruits and veggies and healthy meats!!! "
She was telling him she is tired of him posting against Paleo, and what he posted is crap.
I've seen you rail against strawmen in other threads. Why are you okay with her strawman misrepresentation of the op? Personally I am against strawmen and ad hominem in all discussions. I'm not even anti paleo, although I have had more than one accuse me of being so because I explained why someone would post against a diet they feel is unhealthy. I am against people claiming that the posting of facts or the asking of questions is somehow an attack against them. I also feel that if someone posts a new post asking questions it is okay for both sides to post their views without being called names by the other.0 -
I'm gonna eat whatever the hell way I think is right for me, my doctor thinks is right for me, and what makes me feel best!! And that is PALEO....and if someone can't stand that...they can pound sand!! :flowerforyou:
That is all I am adding to this at this point..0 -
And I do wish everyone the best of luck on their journey to better health REGARDLESS of what diet/lifestyle they follow. 0

Her original post was not a strawman, you , I , she and anyone following these threads know why the OP posted what he did.0 -
