In the 1950s, ads in peer-reviewed journal, JAMA proudly proclaimed: ‘More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Brand.’ At one time, the now-debunked theory (espoused by many supposedly-intelligent-at-the-time-humans), that the planet earth was flat, was an undisputed fact. Just because we think we are so superior and…

Your slating this women for advising you not to consume artificial sweeteners that have been proven to destroy brain cells in unborn children? That triggers many auto immune disease flare ups? Shame on you. For somebody that claims to live by science based research .... Your not very educated in the matter!

For those of you who think your government knows best: www.foodpolitics.com. Get educated!

I haven't bothered to read all the post from people who refuse to accept that diet does impact our health, that auto immune disease can be cause by leaky gut and quite frankly any of you who are sick (yes me included) should be doing everything you can to recover! Did you know that they have research that proves you can…

You need to go and do your research because your arguements against Paleo make it obvious that you haven't understood the processes of those hormones and the effect of various foods on them.

It can't lead to same benefits health wise because whilst consuming grains etc the gut can't heal. 200-250g is actually quite high in carbohydrates even following conventional guidelines. If the health state of the body is good then you can lose, maintain or gain effortlessly because the hormones are able to do their…

It's not a matter of calories in calories out. It's actually about balences hormones and insulin sensitivity. I used to think the same way, my career was based on those beliefs but we have to keep up with the research and new information that we have also. I don't judge anyone for choosing their own path however eating…

If you did the research then you would see that it's actually about health! It's about insulin control and optimal health. The weight loss is a side effect because the body reaches true homeostasis. There are many doctors that now advise Paleo and if you did the research into how macros work in the body and how the various…

Awww thanks Tommy, your such a sweetheart. What a lovely thing to wake up to. Your such a good friend to me ❤

No because your calorie allowance should be set to allow your exercise already...for instance if your activity is set as moderate then that already takes into account the exercise your doing. If you eat back the calories as well then your eating the exercise calories twice! If you want to eat them back then set your…

I've been Paleo for four months now, I've always been a clean eater (I'm a nutritionist) but having become long term I'll I turned to Paleo and eating keto. I would love my boys to be Paleo or at least primal but it's very hard to change their diet because they eat at parties etc and they've developed particular likings…

That is crazy!! Great job!

Nope I was disagreeing with Caljur and agreeing with you lol. I don't believe fructose sugar is any better than any other sugar in that it raises blood sugar levels, releasing insulin to open the cells up to allow the sugar into the cells to be stored as energy and lowering blood sugar levels, then releasing glucagon…

Agreed.....any sugar will raise insulin. The body can actually store less fructose than any other sugar also. I keep all sugar/carbs low.

The body processes fructose in a different way to glucose etc...fruit is great but if you want to lose weight then minimising your fruit and sugar intake is vital because you need to keep insulin low to ensure insulin sensitivity. If you become insulin resistant your cells are on lock down and your body can't access the…

If your not training for a comp then don't bother because a "quick fix" won't work. You have to find a lifestyle change! The diet mentality is hopeless, it has to be a change you can maintain for life. I personally have eaten that way before, it doesn't bother me and got me results but I ate like that for much longer than…

Lol still fishing I see LW, sadly still catching. Nicely played my friend...this has to be one of your longest threads and it's still somewhat civil ;)

Ha ha yes of course sorry ;) please continue playing....*sits back with green tea watching women tripping over your words*

Ahahaha you all got sucked in big time! My dear friend LW merely trying to have some good old fashioned trolling fun and there were plenty of bites. Nicely played ;)

Yay! I do have this condition and I have ME. I really believe that Paleo is helping me. Low carb helps the pain massively too.

Hey!! I'm doing good considering. Been good with my food and made some great new friends that I'm looking forward to getting to know! Have a great weekend x

I tried this approach (I'm a personal trainer so it's in my blood) unfortunately it left me in agonising pain and unable to leave my bed. I'm really glad that this worked for you but it can be very dangerous to exercise for a person with ME/CFS however a person with fibro usually benefits from exercise! So it's definitely…

I forgot to say...supplement with magnesium! Helps a lot too

I know, it is hard and I understand that. For me I was in so much pain and so exhausted that I was prepared to do anything to get better. My boys had lost their mum, I'd lost my business, my life. I was desperate and no food was worth me being this sick for. I don't miss any of it because I don't miss the endless days in…

Your very welcome, tbh it's nice to have people that will listen. I got desperate enough to trial this and was happy to throw it out the window if it didn't work but chemically it made sense. Luckily it made a big difference :)

^^^^ a lot of our pain is cause by chronic inflammation in the body. 80% of our immune system is in the gut. Gluten wares away at the gut lining and causes leaky gut. A leaky gut allows these allergens into our body causing inflammation. Please please buy this book : practical Paleo or The primal blueprint...to me they…

I have excluded gluten, grains, dairy, and soy and keep my carbs v low and it has made a huge difference to how much pain I'm in! Sugar causes a massive flare up.

Hello! I have ME and Fibro which started with a virus. I am (or was) a personal trainer and nutritionist. I now spend the majority of my time bed or house bound. I have two young children, my eldest is autistic. The things that have helped me are supplements for cell renewal, anti inflammatory and gut health. I eat Paleo…

Hi Daisy! I was born in Kent, now live in west midlands. Great job on starting on MFP. You need some friends girl! MFP is all about support and friendship :) welcome x

Hi I'm Bev from UK. I had ME as a teenager and recovered mostly after two years. I had a virus in November 2011 that brought it back, I have also being diagnosed with fibro. I have had to give up my personal training business. I'm married with two boys, my eldest is autistic. These are the things that have helped me: I…
