Stone Age Diet - and good health!

[Lynxcat]

I came across this website quite by chance and thought it was most enlightening. It explains in detail all about basic foods and their role on good health:

I'm such a big fan of Dr Myhill, and I completely agree with her here. From personal experience, my health took a big leap forward when I started eating Paleo, and I have seen several friends and family members also make huge improvements this way.

Thanks for sharing this article on the site here!!

mee too! it helps so much with the gluten free diet because you eat so naturally instead of trying to spend all your time and money buying gluten free substitutes which aren't very healthy anyway!

my body has responded well to the diet and it's also helped with other things like low blood sugar.

Your link was very informative Lynxcat. Thank you.

I'm in the very early stages of trying to eat "Paleo". I think it's the way to go, especially if you have an autoimmune condition like me.

I have read lots of articles about it and it makes sense to me. Unfortunately I cannot eliminate medications from my life as they are keeping me alive! However I can certainly follow the diet otherwise.

I'm looking forward to feeling much better!

If I give my husband any red meat he is ill and has the most disgusting smelly emissions!! enough to make everyone in the room to urge and some weaker stomached of us to actually revisit the last meal

He can only tolerate chicken and turkey, he weighs 27 st, eats little food ( in comparison to me) which is mainly vegs and fruit, he is very active and enormously strong, his work colleagues call him the human forklift

his friend is 9st and I would rather feed him for a week than a month because he consumes so much food !

I love the caveman diet.

The trouble is I think I am taking it too seriously. I have started to trap my own meat by digging a pit on the delivery road behind Sainsburys and waiting for the meat truck to fall into it!

My wife has gone into a refuge because I kept trying to take her against her will after clubbing her and dragging her off down the garden.

Seriously, how can you combine a cave man diet with air travel? Our airports just aren't geared up for it.

I'm not properly paleo - I don't think I'm ever going to give up beans, lentils, rice, chocolate etc - but I do think the sheer range of paleo recipes online is a brilliant resource for anyone avoiding wheat and trying/being forced to avoid processed stuff. It's great to have proper food which isn't a substitute for something else.

Well, I think the best way that I could describe my way of eating is either simple or plain. I have never been a fan of processed food so the fact that I don't eat it now hasn't caused me any problems. I don't like food messed about with - I like to know what I am eating so I eat a sort of primitive diet which does include rice although not very much. I eat hardly any carbohydrates at least in the form of most people's understanding of them. My carbohydrades are in the form of potatoes about twice each week; a small amount of carrot and about one ounce of rice once or twice each week. The remainder of my carbohydrates are mostly in the form of milk, yoghurt, cheese, cream, and some from fruit or broccoli. I occasionally enjoy some dark strong bitter chocolate as near to 100% as possible. I went through a phase of just eating chicken, turkey, etc but have added on pork. I would eat venison but no-one else in the household enjoys it. I eat fish but prefer wild fish to farmed fish. I enjoy eggs. I eat a wide variety of nuts and seeds and my one weakness is honey .. I am seriously thinking about getting my own beehive so that I can harvest my own, organic, pure, raw, unpasteurised honey and comb

There is so much rubbish in that article. My particular favourites include:

'No tap water'

'I recommend that they purchase "Your Life in Your Hands" by Professor Jane Plant, who cured herself from breast cancer simply by avoiding dairy products.'

'Because of multiple allergies to foods (so that there is something on the diet that you continue to react to). In this case consider a rotation diet, or starting on desensitisation. See Enzyme Potentiated Desensitisation (EPD)'

'Gluten endogenous opiate like activity may be a cause of symptoms in autism'

'Wheat may be addictive for some people and cause psychiatric problems'

'30% of the population make antibodies to whey protein which cross react with platelets to make them more sticky. Eating dairy products, therefore, causes sticky blood, which is a major risk factor for arterial disease.'
