Paleolicious

  1. I keep reading these articles saying that the science behind the diet is lacking, and that there are no studies to support a "paleolithic" or hunter gatherer-style diet. This is simply not true--people have been researching the diet of hunter-gathers for years and quite a lot of studies have been done that suggest it is a much healthier alternative to the standard American diet. Here are a few of them:

    Even short-term consumption of a paleolithic type diet improves BP and glucose tolerance, decreases insulin secretion, increases insulin sensitivity and improves lipid profiles without weight loss in healthy sedentary humans.

    A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD.

    Over a 3-month study period, a Paleolithic diet improved glycemic control and several cardiovascular risk factors compared to a Diabetes diet in patients with type 2 diabetes.

    If you are actually interested in the research, and want to see the studies that the Paleo diet is based on check our Dr. Cordain's blog: http://thepaleodiet.com/published-research/
    or Paleo for Life: http://www.paleoforlife.org/research

    Better yet, read a book--I recommend Robb Wolf's. Easy (and fun) to read for those who are maybe more interested in what Paleo can do for you!
