@UniversalTruths sugar as white refine sugar, not as the natural unrefined sugar from a fruit. Big, big difference. I get you are a very young person from the question you are asking. Are all sugars the same? Are all alcohols the same? Things are not black and white as we would like them to be or as they may be fed to us. Life is not that simple. Now please tell me you do not compare a cup o sugar with an apple...
@epowerboy My comment was referring to the mainstream misconception that all sugar is bad for you. I am well aware that refined (processed) sugar is bad for you and very much different from the sugar found in fruits.
@epowerboy I totally agree sugar is bad but at a molecular level the sugar from processed stuff and fruit is no different and reacts the same within our body. The key difference is the amount the fruit and processed stuff contains, there is much less sugar in fruits then the processed garbage plus it is missing all the other negative health additives.
@thevansleaving " I totally agree sugar is bad but at a molecular level the sugar from processed stuff and fruit is no different and reacts the same within our body."
if sugar is bad then why does every cell in the human body run on sugar? Then you go on to say sugar from fruit reacts the same way within the human body as processed sugar, are you high or are you just clueless about basic nutrition?
@ValidPlacebo sugar is processed the same way regardless of were it comes from although processed does come with other bad junk, and yes your body does need sugar just not high amounts what you get from fruits and vegetables is more then enough for an average adult. Your body actually requires more fat then sugars/carbs you get over 60% of your energy from it and every cell in the body also uses it for it to function properly and heal.
@thevansleaving sugar in fruit is more easily converted into glycogen then fat, it takes more energy to break down fats into fuel so it does not make sense to me for the body to use a less efficient fuel source. I don't believe that the body uses more fat than carb for energy, if you are running a marathon you will need to ingest more carb during the race to prevent you from hitting the wall. If the body used more fat for energy than someone who is obese would be able to outrun someone that isnt
@ValidPlacebo were that is true your body gets its energy from the breakdown process that is why fat provides more energy plus fat does not break down into glycogen it breaks down into glycerol, your body only operates off of carbs for the first 1-2 hours after you eat then moves to fat. You do not have to believe me read any nutrition book and you will see that fat is preferred energy source. What prevents the crash is longterm energy and your body gets that from fat.
@ValidPlacebo also you have to understand that carbs are what cause you to store body fat in the first place keeping your insulin levels up prevents your body from using body fat. Dietary fat is completely different, it is not store unless your body is below a set point of weight then ASP kicks in, but even that requires insulin to start it so you still need sugars or carbs to store the fat.
@ValidPlacebo Every cell in your body does not run on sugar. Your body runs on cellular respiration. The chemical process of harvesting stored energy from food. You can run off fats just as easily as glucose.
Fats enter through pyruvate oxidation, then citric acid cycle, then oxidative phosphorylation/chemiosmosis.
You most certainly DO NOT have to run off glucose via glycolysis.
GO TO SCHOOL AND STUDY BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY LIKE I DO
@biglogstrongman I wouldn't mind going to school to study biochemistry but I do mind taking out 100K+ in student loans. You see my parents are not well off so them paying for school is out of the question, if school was free paid for by the government I would be in University right now...
@jonineese red meat if treated properly does not need to be cooked, the bacteria that people get sick from in red meat is from poor processing, not the animal itself. Fish should even be cooked unless it is fresh and caught the day you eat it.
@IMnotSAS There's never a necessity if you learn some basic survival skills in how to hunt and forage for food. If it was life and death for anyone, most people resort to cannibalism if they don't have those skills, so yeah.
@IMnotSAS I would have to see exactly what this individual ate, besides my beef is with heavily processed grains like white flour, and extruded grains used in cereals (corn flakes, rice krispies etc...)
Dairy is unnecessary and grains are relatively recent as a food for humans. Even Dr. Joel Fuhrman (proponent of a vegan diet) recommends a diet very low in grains and starches.
@auggiedoggy LOL! Yeah, no doubt and preserved meat under ground and smoked meat too. Its just this guy is hanging out leaning againts a guard rail and snacking away on a bloody piece of meat. Not a turn on for those interested in paleo dieting thinking it requires one to have a steak while commuting to work or something. It sends an undesirable message about paleo, which it is not. We've evolved enough to at least use fork and knife! : )
$70 a day? I think not - this guy is a tool and truly a retard. I spent $80 today and it will last me a week - chock full of citrus, leafy greens, goat, octopus, kingfish steaks, cage free eggs, etc and i am not eating raw meat in a park like an idiot
@frodosauce Constipation? Hehe... I remember the first time i tried raw beef with raw vegetables - the next day my shit was ... well, how can i describe it without being rude to the ladies ? Hm, well, the colour and the smell were, well, almost no smell !!!! LOL Seriously, u can tell the quality of your food by the shit!!!
@frodosauce Don't doubt it - it's true. If your blood type is different from the "O" type, then meat is probably not for you. When i eat beans, world gas prices go down because of the oversupply.
@valgez1 I don't think its as simple as blood type. To be fair it's not all meat that does it. I tried wild salmon and had a perfect poop the next day, but chicken gives me some nasty craps and cramps. I also get gas if I don't soak my beans/grains properly, but given a day or two soak with water switches they go down well. I think everybody's different, some people might do best pretty much raw vegan, others may do best nearly carnivore...
@alickamoso1 paleo is antisocial diet because its so expensive you cant pay your taxes,you should be happy to eat the hog fattening diet so you can pay your taxes. that what they call a sustainable diet. the good news is they will die off long befor you do. so far im the only paleo eater in my town. a quick glance into the shopping cart speaks volums about what people eat. most of them are eating the cardboard diet. thats great for tax collectors, politicians and doctors.
The lifespan of cavemen was shorter because of the conditions in which they lived and the environmental risks they faced everyday - such as climate, shelter and predators - NOT because of disease factors as is the case today.
We now have the best of both worlds - sheltered accomodation, reduced external risks (unless you're into your extreme sports!) and the ability to CHOOSE to eat the foods we were designed to eat.
Anyone living a paleo lifestyle will talk of their renewed energy and vigour!
@banannao Actually, the main reason the average lifespan was so short was due to infant mortality rates, after about 4 years old many lived to experience 80+. The average lifespan didn't vary much until about 100 years ago with the advent of birthing technologies. Other than that though you are dead on. Paleo + some of modernities benefits = long, healthy, and happy lives.
Well, I do cook our meat. Steak rare. My husband and I have been eating this way for about 4 months now. It is not costing us 70 bucks a day, the organic stuff is higher. ALL WORTH IT. I am off all RX drugs, my allergies went away (they were bad), My RA has turned around and is getting better. I Smile :) alot more.
im guessing the caveman diet was their only choice and their lifespans compared to thesedays is a lot shorter. i wouldnt do this, not after what we all know now about microbial bacteria and genetics and the way things grow on a molecular level, which as we all know, caveman had no knowledge about
monkeys dont use spears. and if they did it might be for defensive purposes not hunting. you need to start basing your beliefs on scientific research rather than "planet of the apes".
@signboyy I think that YOU should base your beliefs on scientific research. There IS scientific documentation of chimps manufacturing spears, with a four step process. The spears are then used to stab at other animals.
This diet isn't a fad. This guy doesn't represent CROSSFIT or Paleo dieters. This guys a complete retard. Grains are not healthy nor good for you. Educate yourself since the news is completely lies. We cook our food and are most part of an elite fitness program.
OK, I see some people saying that grains are bad and some who say that they are good but the truth is that grains can be good or bad depending on how much you eat or leave out of your diet. We don't need to eat grains like a freakin cow but at the same time we don't need to devoid our diets completely of grains as well. You can eat a damn sandwich but just not the whole damn loaf. It's called SELF CONTROL !!!!!!!!
Back in 1979 I eliminated grains, refined sugar, dairy products, and salt from my diet and my weight quickly dropped from 194 pounds down to 142 pounds in less than four months. However, I did not eat raw meat. (Raw fish is great!)
Ah yes, crazy white people. Carry on with this foolishness until you drop dead of a massive heart attack... or are eaten by a shark, whichever happens first.
@CBRADIOLOVER Eat shit and die, Goober. Not only would I say whatever I fucking well pleased to your ugly inbred mug, I'd dick-slap you in it as well.
Sure he does, raw paleo is 10x better than cooked. But I dont like the whole $70 a day, that doesnt even seem possible. I eat 2lb of raw grass fed organ and muscle meats a day with raw fruit and veggies all less than $13 a day easy. You could be completely healthy only eating animal foods though.
@KenMacMillan There's a couple of good articles in the most recent issue "The Mammoths Trumpet" that address this as well as the cultural side. You get more energy from meat, but it's so much harder to catch. And the risk involved for our ancestors was considerable.
@sjwright76 Agreed! Cooked food helped spur us on the evolutionary path to modern humanity, and it also helped kill off parasites. If this guy wants to eat the equivalent of carrion, he should not be suprised when he gets a nice tapeworm party in his GI tract.
this is how you get a parasite infection. you are eating the bacteria from the animal. heat kills bacteria. its like drinking contaminated water without purifying or boiling it first. isnt this how some people get worms inside their body. eating it raw is taking a chance you dont know if the animal has a disease . its like unprotected sex. you're taking a risk.
I don't think the terms "fad" or "weight loss craze" are appropriate here. This is the original human diet. Grains, dairy, refined sugar, etc are relatively recent departures from this basic human diet.
Wow, what's with all the hate? Last I knew the USA was a free country where people are free to eat and spend what they choose. Note that the reporter said he spends UP TO $70/day--not $70 every day. More power to ya Vlad. Don't let the haters get to you.
The so-called caveman diet isn't about being slim, nor is it a "diet" in the sense of being a weight loss regimen. It's a way of eating, and for many people also a way of being, which imparts the greatest health and vigor. Having a lean, muscular form is simply a wonderful byproduct of true inner health. Being slim is not a very laudable goal in itself.
way to go Vlad. I do love eating up a raw steak package at the coffee tables in front of Whole Paycheck. but I'd say $70 is way overpriced unless you are eating out a lot. I feed a paleo family of 4 in Honolulu on a third of that.
We humans long ago "adapted" to cooked foods and the massive calories they allow us to ingest rapidly...for better or for worse, we've "evolved" beyond even our fairly recent "caveman" past. We'd do poorly stripping leaves off branches like our ape cousins.
this is done because the animals are competing with the chimps for berries and nuts. eating their competitors results in more nuts and fruit for the chimps
although this does happen occasionally it is less than 1% of the chimps diet for the year
Our closest *living* primate relative, the chimpanzee, eats very significant animal source foods from hunting. Some groups do so prolifically. They get as, if not more, significant protein and fat from insect consumption. So if you eat only raw fruit, you're going WAY lower on the chain than even the chimp. That being said, our closest living relative is not anywhere NEAR as close as our closest non-living relative: Neanderthal man, who was very nearly a pure carnivore.
We may be more closely related to bonobos than we are to chimps (last I heard, we shared genes for empathy not present in chimps, amongst other ones), and these cousins are much less prone to aggression and hunting (actually helping and playing with smaller animals)...
... It is believed that this peacefulness is partly because they live in areas where food in the form of fruit, shoots, and herbaceous vegetation is more abundant, which in itself leads to a more peaceful society, but also, since food is easier to find, there's more time for female-to-female bonding, which allows thus empowered females to regulate the men to peaceful behavior.
5% of a Chimpanzee's diet is composed *just* from termites, let alone other insects. Greens and most wild fruits have very low calorie/nutrition density while insects have among the highest in nature, making the total dietary impact of the insect consumption incredibly much more than 5%. You are severely misinformed about meat consumption. Males hunt meat year round, from all classes of small mammals.
no termites and small animals compose 1% of the diet
greens and fruits have vastly more nutrition than any termites and meat from small mammals
the caloric intake from fruit is more than adequate
you are misinformed, probably from junk science financed and corrupted monsanto
humans and chimps are primates
should we have a meat diet like lions who are our very distant relatives or should we have a fruit diet like our fellow primates? its not rocket science
I didn't know you were a tinfoiler, or I wouldn't have ever bothered to reply. My misinformation comes directly from anthropological data accumulated over many university financed research field studies, not vegan and fruitarian propaganda sites.
@signboyy You kidding me? we're a total different genus from primates that's why we're called *Homo* Sapiens. I took a Anthropology class in College so don't insult me. Our arboreal ancestors ate fruits and nuts but once we made the step to land we became scavengers eating tubers, nuts, and you guessed it, meat. Sticking to nuts, fruits and greens is a total regression in evolution. Sorry, but eating like a chimp isn't going to make you any healthier than you already are.
The Hominidae (anglicized hominids, also known as great apes[notes 1]) form a taxonomic family, including four extant genera: chimpanzees, gorillas, humans, and orangutans
@signboyy So maybe I was wrong but I still don't see the correlation between meat eating and cancer. After all, if it weren't for our ancestors eating meat, we wouldn't have evolved the way we did (being the most intelligent apes).
@markitymark90 well humans may be able to digest meat for brief periods of famine which enabled them to survive in colder environments and thus allowed humans to branch out into environments that other primates were not able to. nevertheless a long term adherence to this famine diet consisting of meat will result in cancer and cardiovascular disease.
And just for the hell of it, I'll go ahead and reiterate that we are NOT Chimpanzees, we are late stage members of a line of hominids that specifically adapted to carnivory. There is no ambiguity about that fact because we have sophisticated techniques (stable isotope analysis of bone) that inform us about our Paleolithic ancestors' dietary habits.
because being primates we should only be eating fresh fruit
do you see chimpanzees eating raw meat?
the only reason we crave it is because the first time we ate meat , the bacteria which eats meat established themselves in our stomach. the bacteria release chemicals in our body causing us to crave meat so that the bacteria gets the meat it needs
but if you dont eat meat for a month that bacteria can be killed off and then your craving for meat will disappear...until you eat meat again
Secondly, can you please tell me where you heard that meat craving bacteria established themselves in our gut? I've never heard of that theory and would like to investigate. However, If that theory were true, wouldn't a course of penicillin result in a vegetarian?
Also referring back to your original point, I don't believe a vegan, let alone an all fruit diet, is more healthful then an omnivorous diet. My reason for thinking t
. . .this is because people on a vegan diet often do not get all the nutrients they need, specifically vitamin B12, without supplements, but an omnivore doesn't have this problem.
just as humans develop a craving for meat due to introducing meat eating bacteria into the digestive system from eating meat one time, the same may apply to chimps.
the first time they ate a small animal due to competition elimination or due lack of access to fruit, nuts or leafy vegetables, that is when the meat eating bacteria was introduced.
the point is just because you crave meat due to that bacteria doesnt mean it is natural for you to eat meat.
when you say lactobacteria, I can only assume you mean lactobacillus, which survives on the sugar found in milk. Well first of all, milk is not meat, but for the sake of argument, I'll ignore that. Lactobacillus is found in the stomach intestines and vagina and aid in the fermentation of sugar from milk and fruit. when they consume the sugar, it doesn't create enzymes that make you crave more, it produces carbon dioxide and lactic acid..
your cravings for certain foods are not caused by bacteria as a result of food consumption, its caused by enzymes they release to provoke you eating it so that they recieve it
@Doitonhigh when you throw up the bacteria have already gotten what they needed. or the bacteria were expelled from throwing up or the food that didnt get thrown up is still in there and is enough for the bacteria to be satisfied.
Question: How are we best adapted to meat when we have enzymes specifically for grain breakdown but none for meat, and are anatomically built like herbivores? Blow you mind people. Probably not since it sought of goes against MCDOS every day! Lol

Paleolithic man, or perhaps his predecessors, discovered fire and evolved to eat meat cooked. Cooked food has always been our ecological niche.

monkeys dont use spears. and if they did it might be for defensive purposes not hunting. you need to start basing your beliefs on scientific research rather than "planet of the apes".

@signboyy I think that YOU should base your beliefs on scientific research. There IS scientific documentation of chimps manufacturing spears, with a four step process. The spears are then used to stab at other animals.

OK, I see some people saying that grains are bad and some who say that they are good but the truth is that grains can be good or bad depending on how much you eat or leave out of your diet. We don't need to eat grains like a freakin cow but at the same time we don't need to devoid our diets completely of grains as well. You can eat a damn sandwich but just not the whole damn loaf.

The so-called caveman diet isn't about being slim, nor is it a "diet" in the sense of being a weight loss regimen. It's a way of eating, and for many people also a way of being, which imparts the greatest health and vigor. Having a lean, muscular form is simply a wonderful byproduct of true inner health. Being slim is not a very laudable goal in itself.

8223Studios 2 years ago 2
this is done because the animals are competing with the chimps for berries and nuts. eating their competitors results in more nuts and fruit for the chimps
although this does happen occasionally it is less than 1% of the chimps diet for the year
signboyy 2 years ago
Our closest *living* primate relative, the chimpanzee, eats very significant animal source foods from hunting. Some groups do so prolifically. They get as, if not more, significant protein and fat from insect consumption. So if you eat only raw fruit, you're going WAY lower on the chain than even the chimp. That being said, our closest living relative is not anywhere NEAR as close as our closest non-living relative: Neanderthal man, who was very nearly a pure carnivore.

According to Jane Goodall, they only squeeze out the meat juice, and in that form, animal products only constitute about 1% of their diet.

We may be more closely related to bonobos than we are to chimps (last I heard, we shared genes for empathy not present in chimps, amongst other ones), and these cousins are much less prone to aggression and hunting (actually helping and playing with smaller animals)...
Boolze 2 years ago
... It is believed that this peacefulness is partly because they live in areas where food in the form of fruit, shoots, and herbaceous vegetation is more abundant, which in itself leads to a more peaceful society, but also, since food is easier to find, there's more time for female-to-female bonding, which allows thus empowered females to regulate the men to peaceful behavior.
Boolze 2 years ago
actually about 1% of the diet is meat and the other 99% of the diet is divided pretty evenly among green leafy vegetables and fruit
signboyy 2 years ago
5% of a Chimpanzee's diet is composed *just* from termites, let alone other insects. Greens and most wild fruits have very low calorie/nutrition density while insects have among the highest in nature, making the total dietary impact of the insect consumption incredibly much more than 5%. You are severely misinformed about meat consumption. Males hunt meat year round, from all classes of small mammals.
jsadberry 2 years ago
no termites and small animals compose 1% of the diet
greens and fruits have vastly more nutrition than any termites and meat from small mammals
the caloric intake from fruit is more than adequate

Sticking to nuts, fruits and greens is a total regression in evolution. Sorry, but eating like a chimp isn't going to make you any healthier than you already are.

markitymark90 1 year ago
@markitymark90 well humans may be able to digest meat for brief periods of famine which enabled them to survive in colder environments and thus allowed humans to branch out into environments that other primates were not able to. nevertheless a long term adherence to this famine diet consisting of meat will result in cancer and cardiovascular disease.

And just for the hell of it, I'll go ahead and reiterate that we are NOT Chimpanzees, we are late stage members of a line of hominids that specifically adapted to carnivory. There is no ambiguity about that fact because we have sophisticated techniques (stable isotope analysis of bone) that inform us about our Paleolithic ancestors' dietary habits.

he is right about everything except the raw meat. hunter gatherers ate raw fruit and fire cooked meat.
but probably the most healthy diet is just the raw fruit and nothing else.
signboyy 2 years ago
why would that be more healthful?
cowpacino 2 years ago
because being primates we should only be eating fresh fruit
do you see chimpanzees eating raw meat?
the only reason we crave it is because the first time we ate meat , the bacteria which eats meat established themselves in our stomach. the bacteria release chemicals in our body causing us to crave meat so that the bacteria gets the meat it needs
but if you dont eat meat for a month that bacteria can be killed off and then your craving for meat will disappear...until you eat meat again
signboyy 2 years ago
First of all, yes, chimpanzees eat meat.
Secondly, can you please tell me where you heard that meat craving bacteria established themselves in our gut? I've never heard of that theory and would like to investigate. However, If that theory were true, wouldn't a course of penicillin result in a vegetarian?
Also referring back to your original point, I don't believe a vegan, let alone an all fruit diet, is more healthful then an omnivorous diet. My reason for thinking t
cowpacino 2 years ago
. . .this is because people on a vegan diet often do not get all the nutrients they need, specifically vitamin B12, without supplements, but an omnivore doesn't have this problem.

chimpanzees eat small animals as a way of eliminating their competitors who compete with them for nuts, berries, fruit, and leafy greens
signboyy 2 years ago
well why would the chimps be immune from the meat craving bacteria then?
cowpacino 2 years ago
that is also a possibility.
just as humans develop a craving for meat due to introducing meat eating bacteria into the digestive system from eating meat one time, the same may apply to chimps.
the first time they ate a small animal due to competition elimination or due lack of access to fruit, nuts or leafy vegetables, that is when the meat eating bacteria was introduced.
the point is just because you crave meat due to that bacteria doesnt mean it is natural for you to eat meat.
signboyy 2 years ago
but I don't think that this bacteria exists, can you please at actually tell me the name of this bacteria or point to some scientific study on it?

signboyy 2 years ago
when you say lactobacteria, I can only assume you mean lactobacillus, which survives on the sugar found in milk. Well first of all, milk is not meat, but for the sake of argument, I'll ignore that. Lactobacillus is found in the stomach intestines and vagina and aid in the fermentation of sugar from milk and fruit. when they consume the sugar, it doesn't create enzymes that make you crave more, it produces carbon dioxide and lactic acid..
cowpacino 2 years ago
yes the sugar in milk is lactose
milk is animal tissue, not a plant
your cravings for certain foods are not caused by bacteria as a result of food consumption, its caused by enzymes they release to provoke you eating it so that they recieve it
