Enlighten us, what makes a food group either legitimate or illegitimate?
LOL. BEST RESPONSE OF THE THREAD. Poor emo Jon Snow.
Please quit being a horrible vicious personal attacker. Geez
Come on, he's part of the Night's Watch. He can take it!
I'm still trying to figure out how this is a "personal" attack.
I thought it was referencing an earlier post, when someone said I personally attacked them because I replied to something they said.
It was.0 -

You can write your own rules and follow a close paleo lifestyle without many restrictions. I'm gluten intolerant, so for me eliminating grains was a blessing, however; I cannot imagine myself without dairy products. I just thrive on them. So I consider myself paleo like but I write my own rules.
And writing your own rules is part of the template.0 -
So I take it we're no longer discussing the pros/cons of paleo?0

....
no wine....
Check your facts0 -
....
no wine....
Check your facts
Speaking of which, where would one find a concise list of current facts about the Paleo diet?
Where would you check the above out at?0 -
Since this thread is totally off the rails - I'm going to start Paleo tomorrow and add milk and bread when I feel like it.0

People on Paleo drink wine and tequila.
That's a surprise. Wine is a product of agriculture created long after the Paleolithic era was over. Isn't that contrary to the paleo philosophy?
There is a variation of paleo called primal--basically, it's not possible to totally live like we did 10,000+ years ago because...well, duh. So, there are some modern things that can be worked in in MODERATION.0 -

So this intro from Wikipedia is wrong?
Seriously? You don't think it's possible for Wikipedia to be wrong? I really hope you are not a student citing from Wikipedia...0 -
Con - apparently Paleo makes people crabby.0

That's amusing actually. Isn't he preaching avoidance of processed foods yet he sells his own protein powder?0 -

He lies on the product description about it as well0 -

Sisson is nothing but a supplement shill who saw the paleo bandwagon as way to make a buck.0 -

Zing...? You obviously read what I wrote or you could not have responded as you did. Anyway, think what you will about Sisson (I don't promote any brand without being paid to do so), he's not the only person expounded such ideas. But beyond whether he or they is ultimately wrong, the most important thing is what is right or wrong for the individual: human evolution comes in both the macro and micro varieties.0 -

To get back on topic for a sec......
Con - I miss beer nights with my buddies. :sad:0 -
And writing your own rules is part of the template.Also moderation = excuse. Plain and simple.
Today's word is "Cognitive Dissonance"
Can you say "Cognitive Dissonance"?
I bet you can.0 -
Why are the anti-paleo people so against it, I'm curious? No ones saying you have to eat this way too.
Exactly. There are pros and cons to every single eating philosophy and studies to back them up...do what's right for you, as opposed to worrying about BEING right period. That's not realistic.
Topics riding off the rails like this are exactly why I generally avoid the forums--why do I fall for it?0 -

(Disclaimer: I'm assuming you're the guy in your avatar - and yes I understand I may be looking into this too much - I don't know what it is about these discussions that suck me in. )
I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that you've never been fat. You're more likely one of those guys that has a harder time putting on weight than losing it. Of course you'd think dropping grains is ridiculous because you've never had to deal with needing to lose weight (though weight loss isn't necessarily the only reason people drop grains).
Soooo much of body composition is genetics. How our body reacts to carbs, how our appetite plays a part in our eating, etc, so much of it comes down to genetics.
So then when people who have had problems with weight loss go out and find something that works for them that may seem extreme to you, people like you belittle them because they don't have a body like yours and you think it's ridiculous for them to go to that extreme to try and feel better about themselves. You think that because you were able to get your body the way it is while eating grains, anyone could.
It doesn't work like that (unfortunately for me). I don't have a six pack (yet at least), but I can assure you that nothing's brought me closer to it than going 'Primal'.0 -
Pros
It's worked well for me up to this point.
Cons
Your mileage may vary.
The only way to know for sure is to experiment and give it a try. If it doesn't work, then no big deal -- do something else.0 -
I have issues with acid reflux, therefore I would be concerned about giving up bread or crackers.0

Dear OP,
If you are interested in Paleo, talk to so people who have tried it with success. Once you decide to try it, you will quickly find that it's impossible to start a discussion in the regular forum regarding Paleo, Primal, or low carb without starting everything you see above (and immediately following).0
