Paleo diet

2. Half of your plate should be veggies, the other half should be some awesome meat (with yummy fat)

Would meat comsumed during the paleolithic era have had a lot of yummy fat since it would have been wild game? Most wild game is a lot lower in fat than farmed meats. It actually would surprise me if meat were e a huge part of the caveman's diet since plants are so much easier to come by.

I believe that they would have eaten the fat, offal (organs), the leaner meat and pretty much everything except for the hide. Bone marrow is full of fat that is fantastic for you and they would have sucked the marrow out of the bones as well.

So yes, they would have been eating a lot of fat.

hmmm I do remember saying it's a very general guideline right? yea I did.

And "farmed" meats today have more fat because they are fattened up with GRAINS. That's why I eat as much grass fed as possible. Not because fat is bad, but grain fed meat has more omega-6's and a bunch of other things I don't care to get into right now. If you actually care to know, (which I'm guessing you don't since you are just here to troll), you can look it up yourself.

Anyway, there are also things called Bison (which is more fatty) that "cavemen" would eat, but they wouldn't get it very often so when they did, they would eat a lot of it in one sitting (that is the general assumption anyway). But that brings up Intermittent fasting which is a whole other can of worms. But I'm sure they wouldn't be stuffing themselves with veggies the day they finally get some awesome meat. So it probably evened out.

But nuts and seeds have lots of fat too (along with protein) and I'm guessing they didn't have to to and kill an almond or a sunflower.

So what? We can have a more balanced diet day-to-day now. I'm not trying to be a caveman. I really like my smart phone, internets, shampoo and fancy shoes. I just try to do best by my local economy and farmers, eat the food that seems to be making me feel better, and stay away from grains, especially wheat, that have been genetically modified yet NEVER tested on humans to make sure we could still correctly process the "new and improved" wheat.

Grass fed beef is still farmed.

Grass fed beef is still farmed.

But it's actually allowed to roam freely instead of being stuck in a cage with no exercise. Educate yourself.

I'm not the one that said farmed beef was fed grain. I was just educating everyone that grass fed beef is also farmed. And, unless you know the farmer and see how the cattle was raised, everyone should educate themselves on what the "grass fed" label means.

Ok, you are just trolling and trying to pick an argument................

Okay, yeah maybe a little. But when people make silly statements like "eating grains will give you leaky gut syndrome" it's really hard not to.

It is not a silly statement and it is very real.............When a person eat grains, especially "whole grains" it causes perforations and tears in the stomach, intestines, colon, etc and causes leaky gut syndrome.

Stop trolling and do some reading and research. Are you afraid to be proven wrong? Don't start an argument saying silly things - it is ignorant.

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome? Many of my clients ask what leaky gut is and how so many different symptoms can be associated with it. The answer to these questions is both simple and complex. The simple part of the answer is that the cells of the small intestine that normally allow the small nutrient molecules of digested food (the amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids) to pass between them and enter the blood stream become damaged. This creates a more permeable or 'leaky' intestinal wall and larger, undigested food molecules, toxins, bacteria and other substances are able to pass through these 'leaks' in the intestinal lining and enter the blood. Because these substances do not belong in the blood, our immune system creates antibodies against them and they are carried to the liver where they are metabolized. If the 'leaks' in the intestinal wall are not healed or become larger, over time the continual barrage of these unwanted substances overworks our immune system, overburdens our liver, and stresses the many and varied systems in our body.

Now for the complex part. We are all biochemically unique and things like genetics, our medical history, our lifestyle and eating habits, and our overall state of health can make some systems and organs in our body weaker than others. And so, while you and your friend may both have a leaky gut, it's very possible-- and even likely-- that you will experience different leaky gut symptoms.

Below are just some of the conditions and symptoms that have been associated with Leaky Gut Syndrome:

abdominal pain • aggression • allergies • alopecia • anxiety • arthritis • asthma • attention deficit disorder (ADD) • bed-wetting • bladder infections • bloating • brain fog • carbohydrate intolerance • chronic fatigue syndrome • chronic pain (abdominal, joint, muscle) • colitis • confusion • constipation • cramps • Crohn’s Disease• diabetes • diarrhea • eczema • fatigue • fevers • food sensitivities • fuzzy thinking • gas • headaches • indigestion • inflammation • irritability •Irritable Bowel Disease • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) • Lupus • memory problems • migraines • mood swings • multiple sclerosis • nervousness • nutrient deficiencies • psoriasis • poor immunity • rheumatoid arthritis • scleroderma • skin rashes

BCatt, we've had our differences, but I must tell you... there is no use arguing with people who have bought into the 'science' of certain fringe internet groups. I admire your consistency though...

Surely you can see how ridiculous this sounds to anyone that, like me, eats grains and does NOT have holes in their gut. I know the research on grains. And it comes from medical studies, doctors and scientists, not a book or web blog.
