Paleo diet for arborists

[mistahbenn]

I also felt great today. My shoulders dont ache anymore, much more strength when lifting wood, and endless energy... As the yoof of today say, 'BOOM!'

What's not paleo about fruit? And tomato ketchup is just tomatoes and a bit of sugar.

Parsnips are fine, better than cheese:sneaky2:

 

Not in my book Huck, parsnips have a higher glycemic index than potatoes!

 

They have been bred to suit human tastes since the agricultural revolution. Not Paleo.

 

I agree that cheese isn't Paleo, but it has less than 1% carbs.

Modern fruit has been bred to be much sweeter than Paleo-era fruit since the agricultural revolution.

 

And you're supposed to be avoiding all forms of processed sugar!

 

If you run great on it though, more power to you!

But surely, going on that school of thought, to be true paleo, most forms of meat- beef,lamb and pork have all been bred to suit ourselves so to speak.

True, but short of going to live in the wild and hunting (sounds like a lot of hard work) the closest you can get is eating organic produce.

 

I think most people doing this are sticking to the general principles, as being a purist will never work as it's too difficult/hard on the wallet!

Hope alls well with everybody on the new food approach . I seem to be constipated , well I am . Its like pooing limestone chippings . Need more fibre . Just necked 50ml of Cod liver oil that should do the trick

More fruit and veg Paul...

[teepeeat]

any change in diet is going to affect things one way or another while the body adjusts and dependant on what you were eating before, just have to pass () this particular problem.

Been on this for a week and a half now

Feel great lots of energy, like others have said its more to do with cutting out the crap ( chocolate, sweets etc )

One thing I have noticed personally is I have started getting spots and more recently a cold sore ? Don't know if anyone else has noticed anything like this ?

However I feel more energized and sharper, maybe it's more to do with non binging post Christmas I don't know but i will stick with this diet for now as I feel in the zone !
