you need for the menu.<\/p>\n<p>do the research.<\/p>\n<p>no diet is natural, and there will be some obvious pitfalls and setbacks. but once you\u2019ve made up your mind to get started, go to the

instead.\u00a0it\u2019s similar to other diets in that the biggest benefits come from not having all the refined and processed foods that most of us tend to overeat. paleo, as a concept, is an easy way to eat more whole foods and less of everything else,\u201d states\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.louschuler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lou schuler<\/a>, a certified

behind.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>is the paleo diet healthy?<\/h2>\n<p>the paleo diet does have significant health benefits. first of all, there are some foods that you are not allowed to eat like sugars, processed foods, dairy, cereal and junk food. however, there is an issue of the red meat, which is eaten generously on the paleo diet.<\/p>\n<p>since the diet is focused strictly on what the hunters and gatherers ate during the paleolithic era, it is considered pretty safe overall.<\/p>\n<h2>debunking paleo<\/h2>\n<p>time to set the record straight, once and for all! although the paleo diet has some valid healthy points versus the current average person\u2019s diet of carbs and more carbs without any real direction, it bothers all of our team on a few fronts as well.<\/p>\n<p>the main idea involves eating what the \u201ccarnivore\u201d cavemen ate back in the paleolithic era or stone age.<\/p>\n<p>here is why that makes absolutely, positively no sense.<\/p>\n<p>humans never were designed to eat animal flesh as a staple food daily.<\/p>\n<p>science is sexy and pretty hard to argue with:<\/p>\n<p>since no animal can take nitrogen from the air and incorporate it into an amino acid, it is obvious that: all protein is made by plants and only by plants!<\/p>\n<p>why this is so very important in this upcoming struggle for understanding carnivore vs. herbivore is because the animal flesh we consume as \u201cprotein\u201d in our diet is only the middle-man who has already eaten the plants to gain the protein in the muscle mass, so why not just cut out the middle-man and eat the plants ourselves?<\/p>\n<p>are human beings the carnivores that so many supporters of the paleo diet would want you to believe?<\/p>\n<p>we are not, and never will be built to consume, digest, and survive if we continue to do so regularly.<\/p>\n<p>the whole thought process that we (humans) were built to digest animal flesh just is not true.<\/p>\n<p>as the many thousands of different regional paleolithic era diets were dependent on their surroundings and ate whatever was the easiest to obtain.<\/p>\n<p>think of this for a second, if man uses much more energy to hunt down an animal for food, (which only would last a day without refrigeration, and remember humans cannot eat tainted meat \u2013 only carnivores can) then he will gain from eating that said animal\u2026he will die of starvation.<\/p>\n<p>as dr. milton mills, md reveals in a wonderfully informative talk recently called, \u201care humans designed to eat meat?\u201d where he cut down a two-hour presentation into only 78 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>here are some of his powerpoint slides depicting time and time again more scientific reasons why we are not designed for meat consumption.<\/p>\n<p>when studied in the wild, animals hunted down the weakest and easiest prey to catch. they have the advanced sense of smell to pick out the slowest, sickest one in the pack.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/how-does-it-work.png\" alt=\"debunk paleo\" width=\"1377\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201ca lot of the animals we see, especially the ones that go out at night, have a special, reflective surface right behind their retinas,\u201d says dr. cynthia powell, a veterinary ophthalmologist at colorado state university, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/templates\/story\/story.php?storyid=96414364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">npr.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cthat light-reflecting surface, called the tapetum lucidum, helps animals see better in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cwhen light enters the eye, it is supposed to hit a photoreceptor that transmits the information to the brain, powell explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cbut sometimes the light doesn\u2019t hit the photoreceptor, so the tapetum lucidum acts as a mirror to bounce it back for a second chance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201ccats often have eyes that glow bright green, though siamese cats\u2019 eyes often glow bright yellow. cat tapeta also tend to reflect a little bit more than dogs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/templates\/story\/story.php?storyid=96414364\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">powell<\/a> says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cone of my favorites are miniature schnauzers,\u201d she says, which have eyes that tend to glow turquoise. \u201cit\u2019s really beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>humans are very efficient walkers, as we literally throw our center of gravity forward, out of our body, then extend a leg\/foot out to catch the propelled mass pushed by gravity.<\/p>\n<p>thus the reason that when stubbing the toe, or tripping on a seam of concrete can put us down face first quickly and awkwardly to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>humans have saliva with the ptyalin enzyme for pre-digestion of food while possessing an extremely weak hydrochloric acid in our stomachs.<\/p>\n<p>this caught all of us by surprise, but makes total sense. a common factor in just about every diet plan is to eat smaller portion sizes, more times a day to sustain weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>carnivores only came back to the camp one out of seven days of hunting with any food.<\/p>\n<p>sometimes that one meal, even if larger than humanly possible, would have to last until the next kill or what could be five to six days later. wow, can you imagine eating almost 18 times our usual 1,200 calories daily in one sitting?<\/p>\n<p>this was again simple science, factual information, common sense differences why the human body was not created to eat meat.<\/p>\n<p>dr. milton mills notes two or three separate times during the one hour 18-minute talk, about how much more data and slides he removed to cut down the time in half.<\/p>\n<p>most mothers who read these slides are grateful for single births and not having to bear a litter, which is the case most often with carnivores.<\/p>\n<p>the facts keep mounting, and the next ones become rather disturbing for what potential future issues are still undiscovered due to the newest clinical studies released each month.<\/p>\n<p>ignoring the facts at hand, and continuing on the burger train or steakhouse wagon much into the future spells out a dim view for many individuals.<\/p>\n<p>dr. mills says, \u201cgoing vegan or even vegetarian is compared to good sex. if you are not enjoying it, then you must be doing it wrong!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>as all sides to any argument have good points and bad, this just adds more to the \u201ccons\u201d side of the ledger tablet.<\/p>\n<h2>paleo diet basics<\/h2>\n<p>paleo diet basics include guidelines to kickstart your success:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:

on the paleo diet have been mostly positive. while some doctors have questions regarding the effectiveness of the diet, users have a different tale. one of the biggest knocks against the diet is what some doctors describe as the lack of credible information.<\/p>\n<p>according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/hungry-history\/going-paleo-what-prehistoric-man-actually-ate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">history.com<\/a>, some health professionals also question the omission of dairy and grains from the diet. there is some controversy as to whether or not

athletes<\/h2>\n<p>more and more fitness enthusiasts are enjoying the advantages of the paleo diet. there are some books that instruct athletes in training on how to get the most out of the diet. most serious athletes are already in optimal condition.<\/p>\n<p>the paleo diet for athletes has some guidelines that show precisely what they should eat before and after workouts to get the best results. according to dr. joe cordain, athletes will see marked cardiovascular improvement, strength and total overall fitness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/robbwolf.com\/2014\/08\/20\/paleo-diet-improved-athletic-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dr. levi harrison discusses the paleo diet specifically as it concerns athletes and athletic performance<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>this (paleo) way of eating is naturally devoid of high concentrations of sugar, salt, dyes, dairy, preservatives, gluten and grains. because these foods have rich nutrients, phytochemicals and mineral profiles, they can increase the body\u2019s ability to become stronger, healthier and more ready to express improved physiologic and athletic performance.<\/p>\n<p>these fresh food groups are better for our bodies because of their ability to provide antioxidants, energy and the potential to improve the immune system, decrease inflammation (especially gastric), improve digestion, restore natural gastric flora, improve metabolic panels and cognitive function.<\/p>\n<p>the paleo diet substantially reduces the intake of processed foods, sugar, salt, refined foods, saturated\/trans fats, and white flour.<\/p>\n<p>diets that have high amounts of sugar\/salt-filled, low quality, nutrient deficient, highly processed fatty foods can be associated with diseases such as obesity, and digestive\/bowel issues. the paleo diet can help to improve your energy and health by providing you with highly nutritious, life-giving foods.<\/p>\n<p>with respect to athletic performance, eating fresh, nutrient and mineral rich foods can assist with quicker recovery during training as well as after an athletic competition. essentially, the nutritional components of the paleo diet provides energy and muscle building for the body, along with the potential to strengthen the immune system and improve overall energy and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>the paleo diet has the potential to provide the following athletic and physiologic benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improved muscle recovery after training<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improved digestion, which allows the absorption of essential nutrients<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improved glucose control<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improved ldl\/hdl triglyceride profiles<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improved cognitive abilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>patients that have started a structured paleo diet often return to my office stating the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cdr. levi, i am running farther and better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cmy workouts are stronger and more intense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201ci can think more clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cmy gastric problems have improved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201ci feel better overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cmy actions per minute have been off the charts when gaming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cmy recovery and stamina are much improved now!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>while most people can benefit from the paleo diet, athletes in particular might optimize their performance following a paleo or paleo-style diet.<\/p>\n<h2>paleo diet plan for weight loss<\/h2>\n<p>this weight-loss plan is based on the foods eaten by our ancestors during the paleolithic era. hunters and gatherers relied on fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, nuts and legumes. the diet excludes foods like dairy, flour and sugars.<\/p>\n<p>of the many paleo diet benefits, healthy weight loss is number one. the diet is pretty straight-forward and requires no calorie counting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">however, you do have to keep track of your carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake so try an app like <a href=\"https:\/\/noom.8utb.net\/c\/1720052\/500038\/8591\"><a href=\"https:\/\/noom.8utb.net\/c\/1720052\/500038\/8591\"><strong>noom<\/strong><\/a><\/a>\u00a0for food journaling.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>dieter meal plans consist of high protein, low carb foods that burn fat and build muscle.<\/p>\n<p>some individuals who have tried the diet reported steady weight loss, more energy and better digestion. the diet is patterned after what the cavemen supposedly ate during the paleolithic era.<\/p>\n<p>studies show that humans who lived from 25 million to 10,000 years ago lived off a basic diet of lean meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and legumes were healthier.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/paleo-diet-vegetarian.jpg\" alt=\"paleo diet vegetarian\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>vegetarian paleo diet<\/h2>\n<p>the vegetarian paleo diet follows all of the basic diet rules, with one exception: meat is excluded. the vegetarian must find other ways to make up for the protein that is lost when meat isn\u2019t eaten. while the vegetarian version of the diet is acceptable, it seems difficult to follow properly, according to critics.<\/p>\n<p>according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/vegetarian-paleo-diet\/\">nomeatathlete<\/a>, the lack of meat lessens your meal options considerably. meat is a staple in most diet plans. about 55% of your daily calorie intake should come from meats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-bottom-line\">bottom line<\/div><h2>the bottom line on the paleo diet \u2013 does the paleo diet work?<\/h2>\n<p>according to some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/does-the-paleo-diet-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">researchers<\/a>, the paleo diet is not just another fad diet. it uses the eating principles that were adopted by our ancestors during the paleolithic era to promote good health and weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>according to dr. loren cordain, author of <i>the paleo diet<\/i>, the diet works because it is high-protein and low-glycemic, and those are the two basic characteristics needed to lose weight and keep it off.<\/p>\n<p>according to nell stephenson, author of <i>paleolista<\/i>, some individuals have lost as much as 75 pounds in 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>of course, this varies due to many factors such as gender and how much weight you need to lose.<\/p>\n<p>all-in-all, research is mixed, but it leans on the positive side.<\/p>\n<p>simple and easy fix: vegetarian paleo modified diet would be dialed up for perfection on the weight-loss side of the coin, athletic\/health conscious side too. eliminate the grains, dairy, red meats (permits chicken, fish\/seafood), add some soy (in the form of tofu and tempeh) and a bushel basket of vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>the old days \u201cdown on the farm\u201d would have fish on friday, pot roast on sunday and the rest of the week only what comes out of the garden. if you had chicken wings every week, pork chops, and steak &#8230; not many chickens left for producing eggs would be one minor problem.<\/p>\n<p>the paleo diet is also not sustainable for the planet. that is a whole other topic for discussion on the cattle raising gas issues, chicken antibiotics, salmon gmo disclosure and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>a truly inspiring and thought provoking tedx ou from norman, oklahoma some years ago (2013, viewed over 1,673,852 times) still has the paleo community reeling. if this topic interests you, and want to see another doctor\u2019s view of the potential for diet disaster with paleo, go watch: \u201cdebunking
