The paleo diet is the hottest fad diet since vegetarianism. ![]() The only foods that are allowed are ones that were available prior to the dawn of agriculture 1. If you're following a paleo diet and it is working for you, more power to you. We can agree to disagree. Here are my top 1. I'm not paleo. 1. I Really Like Cheese. Which is why I named this blog CHEESESLAVE. But cheeseis verboten on the paleo diet. Yes, I know some paleo people eat cheese, but many of them think that eating a chunk of cheddar is equivalent to making a pact with the devil. You see, according to their logic, cheeseis a “neolithic” food, and therefore not paleolithic. At best, it's considered a compromise food for most paleo folks. It's true, cheeseis neolithic. Leave me a tip and connect with me on Patreon! ![]() ![]() And yet it has been a staple food among humans for over 1. If that's not “old” enough for you, how old is old enough? Women, please seek medical advice before using the below plan or any other low calorie diet that has fewer than 1200 calories. This recommendation is brought to you.Homo habilis? Homo erectus? I ask you, do we really need to go back 1 million years ago to eat a healthy diet? And if so, why? Why do we need to go that far back? Are the health benefits of homo erectus that much better than those of say, someone living 1. Do we really need to throw the baby out with the bathwater and throw out all dairy (and the foods of domesticated animals) and all grains? ![]()
Is there evidence for that? Sorry, I'm going into Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer here. Quesadillas? Pizza? Speaking of pizza and grilled cheese sandwiches. I Really Like Bread. ![]() ![]() Crusty sourdough with lots of butter. Hearty brown German sunflower bread. They may be made with white flour, which is very low on the nutrient- density scale. But did you know they are almost 4. And is bread really that bad for you? How can it be, when humans around the world have been thriving on it as a staple in their diet for over 1. Is the modern epidemic of “gluten intolerance” really caused by eating wheat? Or is it possible that something else is causing gluten intolerance? There is a theory that antibiotic drugs cause an imbalance of gut flora and cause prevent the digestive tract from secreting enzymes that enable us to break down complex proteins such as gluten. Sounds a lot more plausible than the idea that wheat suddenly started causing gluten intolerance out of nowhere. I'm sure I'll get lots of comments about Wheat Belly and the theory of “modern” wheat. Of course, I think that is a load of hogwash. Humans have been cross- breeding crops since the dawn of agriculture. I will write a more detailed post about the flaws in the modern wheat theory at a later date when I finish reading the book. Hey, I understand, you're on the GAPS diet, you can't eat grains. That's cool. I totally respect that. I gave up gluten for 2 years when I was healing my gut in my 2. I don't eat sweets every day, but I do enjoy them often. And of course, I do try to use unrefined sweeteners. And what is wrong with pies exactly? Oh sure, there's some white flour in the crust. But it's also loaded with nutritious butter and lard. Can this really be so bad? And do you really need to eat like Australopithecus Afarensis to feel like you're eating a healthy diet? Or even two hundred? That still constitutes a traditional diet. Heck, we could evren go back to the middle ages. And you know what they ate in the middle ages? They ate pies. 4. Paleo is Low Carb. By default. And low carb messed me up. See my post: Why I Ditched Low Carb. Be sure to read the bit about Chris Masterjohn, Dr. Weston Price, the people living near the Arctic Circle and fertility. That was key for me, and really opened my eyes. Price Foundation diet is not low carb. Price never recommended a low carb diet. There were some cultures he studied who ate low carb, but many others who did not. I'll be writing a post about that soon. The Paleo Diet is Too Restrictive. We live in a world dominated by pizza, nachos and chocolate chip cookies. Are you really going to tell your kids they can't have these things — ever — because (ahem) “they're not paleo”? Why not, instead, learn how to make healthy versions of nachos and chocolate chip cookies and pizza (recipe coming soon)? If you raise your children to be logical and good critical thinkers (and I hope you do), I don't think they'll fall for your flawed logic that a paleo is superior just because it is paleo. And there is nothing wrong with promoting nutritious foods and working hard to get our children to eat them. That's just bad logic. And around here, we follow the 8. A cookie here and there won't kill you if you are eating a nutritious diet most of the time. Paleo is Not Scalable. There's a reason the hunters and gathers died out. Nothing against hunter- gatherers, but they were all almost completely wiped out by people who ate cheeseand bread. Why? Want the evidence? Read Jared Diamond's fascinating book, Guns, Germs and Steel. In the book, Diamond explains that there are advantages to learning how to domesticate animals — especially big herbivores such as goats, cows, horses and sheep. You can use them to plow fields faster. And they can provide you with high- protein, nutrient- dense foods such as milk, butter and cheese. And there are benefits to growing grains, which will store for very long periods of time. Like steel weapons, guns — and i. Pads. Diamond tells an amazing story in Guns, Germs and Steel about the Spanish conquest of the Peruvian Inca. On November 1. 5th 1. Spanish conquistadors showed up in the holy city of Cajamarca, Peru, where they found 8. Peruvian soldiers. Although seriously outnumbered, 1. Spaniards slaughtered over 7,0. Inca warriors within 2. How did this happen? Soldiers on horseback had a distinct advantage over soldiers on foot. The Inca were unarmed. While guns and steel killed many native people (as the above story illustrates), it was germs that were responsible for the genocide of the Indians: European farmers, rearing cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses and donkeys, lived in close proximity with their animals — breathing, eating and drinking animal germs. Native Americans had no domesticated animals, and when they were exposed to these germs from livestock, they perished in great numbers. Is this to say that killing innocent people and taking their land is a good thing? No, Diamond is not defending colonialism; nor am I. He is simply making the point that there are very few hunter- gatherer tribes left on the planet because the world has changed and technology has advanced. When we stop having to worry so much about how to find food, we are able to advance as a species. Because hunting is so unpredictable, traditional societies have usually relied more on gathering. In this part of Papua New Guinea, the gathering is done by women. An important source of food here . By stripping a sago tree they can get to the pulp at the centre, which can be turned into dough and then cooked. Although it’s physically harder work, gathering is generally a more productive way of finding food than hunting. But it still doesn’t provide enough calories to support a large population. Jared Diamond: This jungle around us, you might think it’s a cornucopia, but it isn’t. Most of these trees in the jungle don’t yield, don’t give us anything edible. There were just a few sago trees, and the rest of these trees don’t yield anything that we could eat. And then sago itself has got limitations — one tree yields only maybe about 7. It takes them three or four days to process that tree, so it’s a lot of work really for not a great deal of food, plus the sago starch is low on protein, and also the sago can’t be stored for a long time. And that’s why hunter/gatherer populations are so sparse. If you want to feed a lot of people, you’ve got to find a different food supply, you’ve got to find a really productive environment, and it’s not going to be a sago swamp.(Source)7. Paleo is Based on Fantasy. The paleo diet is fundamentally flawed. It's a diet based on misinformation about the past and the present. Paleo adherents believe that the hunter- gatherer lifestyle is somehow superior to that of the sedentary agriculturalist. It is a romantic ideal based on fantasy, not reality. The reality is that living as a hunter- gatherer is not an easy life, and it was not a lifestyle people chose because they thought it was cool or better. Hunter- gatherers did/do not have access to domesticated animals and did not have the ability to grow crops. I find it very hard to believe that if they had cows or sheep that they would not have found a way to start milking them. Why go forage for a meal or hunt for a wild animal when you can keep a cow who will give you milk every day with a lot less effort? I guarantee you, if you were living in the wild, subsisting on sago that takes 3- 4 days to process and is very low in protein, and someone brought you a cow that would give you milk every day, or showed you how to cultivate honey from a bee hive, you would jump at the chance. According to Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel, cannibalism may have arisen in New Guinea due to the scarcity of sources of protein. The traditional crops, taro and sweet potato, are low in protein compared to wheat and pulses, and the only edible animals available were small or unappetizing, such as mice, spiders, and frogs. Cannibalism led to the spread of Kuru disease, affecting the brain, similar to Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease, prompting the Australian administration to outlaw the practice in 1. I'm just saying hunting and gathering isn't all it's cracked up to be. And maybe grains and legumes aren't so bad after all.
