A majority of the people who have tried this diet have died before the age of 40.

Paleo... I did it for a few months and ended up losing a bunch of weight. Worked well for me. I did it with dairy though... Not straight.

I'm glad you're finally comfortable with who you are.

It was Scorehead, but I think he only did it for the caveman intellect.

is this the deal where you drink a cup of water as soon as you get up and basically eat nothing else until the end of the day where you have a feast?

Lol no. You basically can only eat what a caveman would have been able to eat. Lots of meats, fruits, veggies, etc. No bread, pasta, processed foods, etc.

I think you are confusing a fad diet with Ramadan.

Nope The Caveman, or Paleo diet is a diet where you only eat all natural foods that were available in the stone age. Meat, fish, fruits, veggies & nuts. No dairy, bread, potatoes, sugar, or processed foods. Its a great diet & my Doctor recommends it to his patients. Like the Atkins diet, it restricts carbs & the lifestyle change is quite a shock, but after 10 months I don't even think about it anymore. Open face burgers & brats for me today & every day.

The vodka & blue cheese stuffed olives remain a fixture of my diet though.

I lost 75lbs on my own variation of this diet; low carb, high fat and protein. I've kept it off for almost three years. Best thing I ever did. As in other areas, the science of diet is not settled. The experts are wrong. The food pyramid is horseshit.

Only from mamma's titties. So, unless you're Anne Maxfield's son, you didn't get it much after two years old.

I think the food pyramid was debunked like 20 years ago, yet it is still used in some places for whatever reason. How could 10 doses of spaghetti a day ever be considered a good thing?

They recommend 300 grams of carbs a day. Unless you're training for a triathlon, if you consume that many carbs, you're gonna be a big fat fatty. We are carb junkies. You can see it everyday with all the BFFs we have in this country.

Of course, when you first tried it it was just called "the diet".

... how about another one? When you played the lottery as a kid, the grand prize was fire ...

The best way to lose weight? A diet filled with protein: Eating fish, eggs and meat every day is easiest way to stay slim

Those with a diet low in protein likely to gorge on carbohydrates and fat
Proportion of protein in Western diets has dropped - which could account for obesity levels
People must eat enough protein to satisfy appetites, scientists say
Protein is essential for the healthy growth and repair of body tissues

Instead of counting calories, those seeking to stay slim are better off enjoying a protein rich diet and eating fish, eggs and meat, scientists have found.
Because of the way the human body prioritises protein over carbohydrates and fat, those with a diet low in protein are likely to gorge on these other food groups to reach the target protein level.
Over the past 60 years the proportion of protein in Western diets has dropped, and researchers suggest this could account for soaring levels of obesity.

'We can use this information to help manage and prevent obesity, through ensuring that the diets we eat have a sufficient level of protein to satisfy our appetite,' said nutritional ecologist Professor David Raubenheimer, of the University of Sydney

Professor Raubenheimer is set to present his findings today at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology in Manchester, and says they may explain why high protein diets such as the Atkins Diet can help people to lose weight.

However, he warned such diets could lead to further health issues, as it was more important to achieve the correct nutritional balance.
Best avoided: Professor Raubenheimer says our bodies are not adapted to biscuits, cakes, pizzas and sugary drinks

'We also need to get the balance of fats to carbs right,' he said.

'High protein diets might help us to lose weight, but if they involve other imbalances then other health problems will be introduced.'

As well as being a good source of energy, protein is essential for the healthy growth and repair of body tissues, such as muscles including the heart, internal organs and skin.
ACHIEVING THE RIGHT BALANCE: GOOD SOURCES OF PROTEIN

Turkey and chicken breast

Fish such as tuna and salmon

Low-fat cheese varieties such as cottage cheese or mozzarella
Cottage cheese

Pork Loin

Lean beef and veal

Tofu

Beans

Eggs

Yoghurt, milk and soy milk

Nuts and seeds

Professor Raubenheimer's team studied baboons living on the edge of human settlements, and found that despite eating different combinations of foods every day the apes achieved a consistent balance where 20 per cent of their energy needs came from protein.

Other studies found that spider monkeys and orang-utans, too, foraged for a balanced diet. But when seasonal availability of some foods prevented them from getting a balanced diet, they prioritised getting the right amount of protein even if this meant eating too much or too little fats and carbohydrates.

The researchers concluded that measuring a food's nutritional content by its calorie count was too simplistic, and that overall achieving the correct nutritional balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fats was more important.

When foods are nutritionally balanced, there is no competition between these appetite systems, and when one nutrient requirement is satisfied, so too are the others.

Many foods however, are unbalanced and have a higher or lower proportion of protein to carbohydrate than is required.

Therefore, to obtain the right amount of protein it may be necessary to over or under-eat fats and carbohydrates.

The researchers are currently investigating how the balance of carbohydrates and fats affects the health of laboratory mice.

Professor Raubenheimer concluded with his own advice for dietary health.

'A simple rule for healthy eating is to avoid processed foods – the closer to real foods the better,' he said.

'Whilst it is clear that humans are generalist feeders, no human population has until recently encountered "ultra-processed foods" – made from industrially extracted sugars, starches and salt.

Our bodies and appetites are not adapted to biscuits, cakes, pizzas and sugary drinks and we eat too much of them at our peril.'
