Paleo diet for arborists

[Andy Collins]

Just a thought. Wasn't the average life expectancy back then around 35 years?

Yes, but I think the problems were available quantities of food plus pests and decease.

 

The theory is we are not really evolved to digest and cope with the modern high carb diet, hence celiacs and lactose intolerance.

It does look a good healthy diet tbh, and I would actually consider it if things were different for me. I may adopt a few if the recommendations and see how I go, and then up it a step at a time. Salt intake for me is very high, and I can't do a lot about that. As for weight gain/loss, I shot up to 17.5stone, and in two weeks I'd lost it again, back to 15.5!! All I did was went to work for a few days I do have a problem with being able to store enough calories to keep me stable.

I've heard so many diets in my time on this planet. From meat free to all meat.

Cut the salt- you need salt. On and on it goes just feeding our insecurities.

Can anyone remember the 'everything in moderation' diet. Makes life so much easier and social.

Good to see people considering this lifestyle. It is a good one.

 

ApBell how do mate. I bOunce in and out of this way of eating. If I fall into bad eating it's easy to get back into this.

I don't really see it as a diet, more a decision to only eat natural

That's sort if the conclusion I came to when I googled it just now. I wouldn't be able to follow it to the letter, but I can take some elements and add to it and see how it goes gradually. If it doesn't suit me I haven't really lost anything.

mmmm interesting - gone off carbs for a while, but never seen this approach so think I will give it a try

 

like Huck's summary - everything that was available before agriculture. This then makes sense from the evolutionary point of view.

My main problem is that I love bread and crisps. I could quite easily get rid of alcohol. I'll have a look at this though.
