I just happened to look at this picture you posted though, your overall summary while technically is correct, needs further dissection.
While they do eat small amounts of rice, millet (buckwheat noodles), mochi, etc, these are non-gluten containing grains. Which is a whole other comparison compared to gluten containing grains, the primary offender in causing leaky guts, auto-immune, etc.
I've skimmed through your other comments, honestly nothing of interest to debate on my end. You keep jumping from weight loss to grains and back and fourth, I don't have the energy to keep on topic with you. Still not sure what your end argument is.
Is it this:
Maybe. Maybe not.As I previously stated, I think the "paleo diet", inasmuch as there is a coherent one, is a good "rule of thumb" for eating...but I feel that it's a fad that will go away like so many others.
I know that for those in my inner circle, It will not be going away anytime soon. Especially for 2 of my colleagues who now have 100% relief from their arthritis and celiac disease.
Same thing can be said about damn near any topic on the internet. You get a bunch of alpha-males online talking about a topic thats passionate to them, you are going to get cult like followings.My biggest problem with the paleo community is the evangelical fervor with which they present everything. Everything seems to be such a binary proposition.
Think its safe to say this applies to every gun board I've ever been on as well.
One of the biggest ideas behind paleo/primal/insert whatever label it is now a days is to eat the highest quality and most nutrient dense food available.Either you eat paleo or you eat a shitty diet.
So if its about comparing it to the nutrient breakdown analysis beween diets, then I'd agree with this statement you've made above.
Dont know what to say to this other than, "boo hoo?"There is a lot to take away from the paleo community, but it has almost become a ****ing religion at this point.
Dont subscribe to it then. Many who follow paleo/primal dont subscribe to the cult/religion BS.
Unfortunately with the internet, everyone gets a chance to test out their soapbox. And some have louder microphones than others.
