i see what you did there. however, "everything but the..." is kinda my fav

sure. chicken is more likely to cause diabetes than hawaiian punch. ok. you got me. smh

fruit sugars don't matter because they're bound to fiber and don't get metabolized as quickly as added sugars added sugars in protein bars and other processed foods can be an issue because there's nothing slowing the absorbtion, thus it can cause an insulin spike, which, if repeated daily for a long period of time, can…

As with everything it's a middle ground. Even in the article he affirms the value of the GI (or better yet GL) index and agrees that too much added sugar is not conducive to achieving good health, and that's what HFCS is - added sugar. Eating fruit is and always has been fine, but when you load up your diet with more and…

short cuts don't work long term, and they don't teach you how to take care of yourself. they DO teach you how to be dependent on them so you need to keep shelling out $$ to continue to see "results"

based on what long-term studies?

such as? has hybridization created toxic peas I haven't heard about?

:drinker:

I like you. A lot.

can you quote for me where he supports high carb diets?

I mean honestly I agree, if you dont WANT to eat all that meat... then don't... there's no reason you have to subscribe to any ONE fad diet specifically. Eat foods you like and stay under your TDEE. I like that diet. I should also change my ticker. :tongue:

source?

that's a fair point, and if the OP is truly concerned with eating the most "natural" way, then the onus is on her to do the research by looking at as many sources with as many varying viewpoints as possible, including the one listed by acg, and make her own decision, because following the trendy paleo or primal guides…

also nevermind the fact that those people were significantly smaller than us and could subsist on less food than us. getting 50% of your calories from fruits and veggies in 2013 is incredibly difficult and impractical.

the study is pertaining to differing research into the diets of paleolithic man, and it's far from conclusive. However what the OP is referring to is the general "paleo diet" fad as it is described in numerous books/websites/etc etc etc. THAT diet centers around high fat intake and moderate to low carb intake. Thus, the…

hahaha classic redirect to a completely different topic.

It's all good man, we all make mistakes. :flowerforyou: paleo diets are relatively low carb and the majority of your calories come from fats

doctors know nothing about nutrition. when will people learn this? they don't have a degree in nutrition, and they are required to take only ONE nutrition course in all their years of med school/residency. please consult an actual nutritionist or dietician if you want professional advice.

nope.

where'd you get that from? why wouldn't I need my legs as an actor? lol

So I checked, and the site acg linked to is not unbiased, and is actually an organization designed to dispel 'myths' about GMOs http://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/mission/ Peggy G. Lemaux (one of their main food-related advisors) "is founder and editor of KnowsGMOs, a science based information and resource guide. Her…

it depends on what your long term goals are. If your goals are weight and appearance and general well-being, it's calories in vs calories out. if you believe that nutrition can have an impact on diseases such as alzheimers, cancer, etc, and can improve your chances of living a longer, fuller life (as I do) then getting…

no one knows. end of story.

yup, abs really are made in the kitchen. lose the body fat, and they'll appear. you already have them, they're just hiding.

there's nothing wrong with giving it a try, and I'm not for or against it inherently, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fad. I subscribe to a primal way of eating much of the time, and I'd call that a fad too, becuase while popular now, I recognize that may change in the future as new information becomes available.

and the whole point of those strikes is that they AREN'T healthy. lol

hmm, here I was reading the rest of my sentence that continues "while popularity of a particular diet may increase..." but sure, whatever you need to tell yourself. Maybe I was comparing 5:2 to running and just didn't know it myself.

... ah. well if you're comparing 5:2 to running, then nothing I can say will change your mind. Have a good one!

Oo and, as with all things in fitness, while popularity of a particular diet may "increase like wildfire", it too will fade as some other BRAND NEW WEIGHTLOSS TRICK comes out. 'tis the way this all works.

yep! that's what ALL of this is primarily about anyway. Good luck!
