Why no one got word of DietOramy diet system plan? I was randomly smacking Google and came across it - I must say it truly is the 1st diet plans regime that I've tried using that doesn't make me feel often hungry, and I am nevertheless losing surplus fat.
Ancient man ate natural sugar(honey), and craved salt, and frequented natural salts as the other animals in the neighbourhood would. Primates have been eating natural grains for millions of years, and ancient man would have eaten many of the same foods, as it was part of their natural evolutionary food heritage.

Beans, like snow peas and string beans as shown (which are routinely eaten raw in delicious salads), are not allowed because they have "deadly toxins" in their raw state? But organ meats like liver (who's primary purpose is to filter toxins) are OK?
I'm just learning about this dietary regimen. Can you explain that apparent contradiction? Also, is cooking not allowed in this diet?
Eating Wild game is healthy. However, the quality of meat and fat found in farm raised animals (what most have available) is destructive due to what the animals eat, stress and medications. Eat well! Become an ethical hunter and kill your own food. Your lic fees and love for the outdoors/animals will help protect habitat and the species. I do agree that "getting back to the basics" is key to good health. Thanks for the video.
Wow, some of these comments are truly humorous. Man can't catch or kill animals without guns? You are truly ignorant. Exactly what the hell is the purpose of a spear, a bow, or other such implements? What are traps used for? I imagine in your book it would be for catching friendly critters to keep as pets, right? Laughable. Also how is the oldest diet a fad? You contradict yourself and therefore infer that every diet is a fad. Why is it that vegans have protein balance and other health issues?
The problem with this diet is that how much meat are we supposed to eat? How much fruits, vegetables are we supposed to eat?
We wouldn't be able to hunt during ice age that much because most of the animals are way too fast for us to catch and they can outrun us, when we could just pluck fruits, vegetables, nuts off the ground easily. We needed some major technology to capture bison like a gun, but we didn't have that back then. All we had was a carved out piece of stone that couldn't do much.

@CBasie2856 Fruits, veges and nuts would have been very hard to find in those ice age temperatures. Mamoths used their tusks to sift through snow to find vegetation and were an easy target for humans to kill.
The big problem with the Paleolithic diet for humans today is that the meat is not like the meat we ate during the Stone Age. Today we give our animal’s grain, soybean and other manmade products. I say manmade because it is not natural grain, it is GMO grain and we even inject the livestock with synthetic growth hormones. All this changes the nutritional value of the meat and the scary thing is that they do not know how much of the synthetic growth hormones that pass over to us.
Look people the Paleo diet is another fade diet out there selling books,it contradicts it self about how we are ment to eat meat but all grains are bad and the reason behind it is becasuse you have to cook them for it to be eaten.So is meat or it can kill you, yes grains have been know to cause leaky gut syndrome but I havnet heard a lot of people with the problem.If you really want to be paleo eat raw vegan food,nuts fruit and vegies.Yes I dont belive we are ment to eat grains or meat (Bugs)yes
@shampoo02 Study human biology and you'll get an idea of what the human gut can handle. We ate natural grains, nuts, seeds, tubers, fruits,wild herbs, honey way back when, as well as as meat. The human digestive system is that of an omnivore. That makes us very lucky! We are able to process a large variety of foodstuffs. Meat was an awesome, but often dangerous part of the diet, and it is hunting that most likely gave man the roots of culture.
@1984potionlover Just because we can handle it doesnt make it natural for our bodys.We should get all our amino acids from insects , thats what we are ment to eat . Not grain not beans or dairy and meat.Fruite vegs and bugs , that would make you healthy and strong as an ox.Thats my opion we all have a right to one , if you dont agree than just move on with your own ideas .
@shampoo02 Learning how to hunt for large prey as a group. or even elusive smaller prey, when you don't have have natural weapons such as claws, and big canines means you need to work in groups, and develop some form of efficient communication skills so people know where they are supposed to be, etc. In harsh climates it is imperative to have a source of at, for fuel for your body. You need meat, and fat, from animals that store it, to survive.
@shampoo02 Check out what happened to the Inuit when they changed from their traditional diet, to a white man's diet. They starved, and became very ill from being malnourished, even when their bellies were full.
@1984potionlover lnuit had got diseases such as polio,there was as yet no vaccine.At the same time,the caribou population west of the Hudson Bay nearly perished.that area lost their food supply.Inuit mostly living in camps faced threat from tuberculosis.many who contracted the disease had to be treated in sanatoriums in the south.Many tried to continue their traditional way of living in their ancestral regions while adapting to the new conditions.They became dependent on governmental welfare
Gladiators were vegan. We are meant to eat some meat (fish), but surely not everyday. IMO, we are meant to share the land with everyone. For you to say that grains and beans are bad is just stupid. Look at people living up past 100 and they all barely eat meat and eat more whole grains. How many of you when you see an animal in the wild start salivating? Thought so.
@IcarusFlying Looking back on how little I, myself knew in high school, I can say with certainty that the majority of high school students are not smarter than most adults.
Heck, I'm in University now and I still acknowledge that the majority of adults know more than me.
Plus, one has to consider that this was a Level-2 Biology course (the minimum level that will count towards graduation). Most of my classmates did not turn out to be anthropologists. Hell, half of them work at McDonalds now.
@yardape99 neandertal man would have lived in caves as the last ice age encroached in fact the last group of neandertal man believed to have lived where discovered in a a cave (thier remains)
@yardape99 I read somewhere that every so called "fosil remains of caveman" have been hoaxed. I for one know that only species of like species pro create... If man decended from the monkey, then why do monkeys still exist? Try to mate a monkey and a man and it can't happen. Adam and Eve started it all (about 6 thousand years ago). Loook @ a child and you think it came from "pond scum"? Silly.
@wigwamman1 the reason monkeys still exist is because through natural selection those species of primates were maintained. Humans arose because primate ancestors long ago had traits (even mutations) that allowed them to live longer and reproduce more successfully than other primates. Also, speciation events can occur where populations of organisms are separated from one another and only those isolated groups can reproduce. Over time isolated populations will look different from one another.
@wigwamman1 We didn't evolve from any contemporary primate species nor "monkey". Humans and primates share a common ancestor. The modern day species that is the most closely related to homo sapiens is the bonobo. Humans did not evolve from the bonobo. Bonobos and humans evolved from a common ancestor that was more like a mix of humans and bonobos than like one or the other.
Species diverge in this manner (speciation) usually by two populations of one species separating. Look up "ring species".
hey caveman. Maybe one should notice, that we have evolved a little since the hunters and gatherers and especially after agriculture spread and our diet dramatically changed from meat and berries etc. to grain, beans, mais, rice...(depends on where u live) and also dairi products, as we learned to keep animals. So at first this really hurt us, our bones, humans were short and weak, but then we changed through selection to fit this diet and now were healthy again, see?
to truly experience this diet the way that our ancestors did
#1 take the bus and walk everywhere #2 get a job doing physical labor(warehouse work or construction) #3 make all food by hand from scratch #4 go to bad neighborhood and piss people off to chase you to get adrenaline flowing #41/2 don't get caught and or beaten up #5 no hot showers(cold water only) #6 smoking/drinking optional #7 for best results don't eat for 1 or 3 days then eat grass or leaves to fill stomach, #8 don't go crazy
I highly recommend anyone thinking of starting a diet like this one listen to the Skeptoid Podcast episodes: "Natural Hygiene" and "Raw Food - Raw Deal?"
You actually should eat salt with this diet. The caveman would have drank the salty blood of animals. I ate this way and was not getting enough salt, and I got severe muscle cramping for months. Until I learned that was caused by not getting enough salt. Don't forget fats too, our ancestors ate plenty of them.
Anyone who tells you that beans are not good for you, and even "toxic", is lying through their teeth. beans are extraordinarily good for you. And there are many seeds and grains that are extraordinarily good for you (brown rice, quinoa, salba, etc), but you already knew that. Oh, by the way, apple seeds are loaded with vitamin B-17, a NATURAL form of cyanide. The main ingredient in Laetrile. One of the most powerful anti-cancer substances known to man. Apricot kernels are loaded with it as well.
@DelusionTerminator "Anyone who tells you that beans are not good for you, and even "toxic", is lying through their teeth."
Good or not good for you is up to medical debate, but toxicity is uncontroversial and scientifically proven. Beans are extremely toxic in their natural state where, if eaten, can kill you. When cooked beans lose most of their toxicity, but they are still at least mildly toxic. You can ask a bean costume wearin pro-bean dietician and you'll get the same information.
@IVoteNone You're right. But at the same time, meat today is just pumped to the brim with antibiotics. And diseases/parasites are easily and often transmitted through raw meats (if someone were thinking about eating it raw). With enough physical activity, sleep and fruits and legumes, any person can lose weight.
Salt is an essential element for human health. I tried to go off salt once. After a year I was getting tired and running low. When I put salt back i my diet I immediately improved.
Cutting grains however is smart.
If you want to eat like our ancestors maybe you will live as long as our ancestors, 45 years average life expectancy.
I started the diet about 5 years ago. I'm not strict, though, as i can allow myself to have some cookies with coffee when i need to get a boost, sometimes i can have pasta and bread, but ONLY SOMETIMES. You know what? I haven't been at the dentist in 5 years !!!
The Paleo diet is the ONLY diet. My allergies have all but vanished, my health improved, my energy increased, it even brought my hypoglycemia under control. Oh, and during the first year of eating strictly Paleo, I lost 60 pounds. . . without exercising. No effort, my body shed the pounds and one year later I have kept them off.
Paleo diets would have been very high in fat and had smaller portions of meat. Which is why they hunted animals with alot of subcutaneous fat, like mamoths and buffolas. They would have been primarily interested in the organ meats, being that they are the most nutrient dense. They wouldnt have bothered with fruit and veggies too much, because they are an insufficient source of calories, irritate the gut and have pathetic amounts of nutrients in comparison to organ meats.
As can be seen by some comments here, we have the absolutel wrong concept about nutrition in this country. No, no one would "fix" a bad diet by eating something else. The problem is the bad food eaten in the first place. We expect these days to eat whatever we want, then take a pill when problems develop, so we can continue eating the bad food.
You literally are what you eat. So, some of us need to lay off the jerky. : )
I have seen the palaeolithic diet touted in a number of places, even a couple of lighthearted journal articles.
Perhaps I am being pedantic here but it is important to note here that the notion of an homogenous 'palaolithic diet' is something ofa fallacy, people would have eaten many different things and in varying different quantities, depending upon their ecological niche.
you are being pedantic-- the principles remain pretty much the same-- nothing that wasn't available prior to the neolithic revolution Anywhere in the world.
regardless of locale or ecological niche, there was no bread in quantity prior to that time, no grains, no farming.
Paleolithic Diet is perhaps a misnomer-- perhaps it should be considered a set of general principles regarding our approach to food
Your final paragraph sums it up perfectly, get rid of the idea of it being some evolutionarily ordained 'perfect' diet and regard it as sensible eating and I have little to argue about.
It is something derived from evolutionary psychology perhaps but I dislike automatically regarding modern humans as analogous to paleolithic humans.
Despite this, there are many things to agree with with your diet. I like to eat mainly vegetables with meat in moderation :)
If one truly believe that man is an omnivore then you can eat both but it all must be raw. All foods in this video, should not have to be cooked or processed or seasoned whatsoever, if they do then something is wrong already.
Correct. I cannot stand raw meat and I know it is good for us, but I was not brought up this way. I have thought about having raw yoghurt with raw egg hid in it to start with BUT dairy is out!
@ShroedingerWatcher Raw meat can be perfectly fine if you are careful about the source and handling of it. I eat raw fish (sashimi and sushi) at least once a week, and I have never gotten food poisoning from it. Theoretically, other raw meat is okay too, but because of the way cattle are raised and processed in really disgusting conditions (watch Food, Inc. for an example), they are more likely than ever to be carrying diseases. So, I would never eat other types of raw meat.
@KWalsh554 You talk like an animal welfarist, someone that does not dare to question or sense.
Watch Food Inc? How about Earthlings, Meet your meat, and on and on. Its all the same, always ignoring something (and copying the same idea basically)
Some of this video is a like a twist from the raw vegan diet. since this video was done in 2007 and the raw vegan diet I've read on was known earlier than this, I am doubting this video already.
Yes man ate meat with fruit and veg, but what exactly were they and when were they? They also had to do this by learning how to make tools then weapons then practice this, oh and the fire...
I followed this diet accidentally after being diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis - after 3 weeks I went from 11 medications to 1. I also dropped 60 pounds in 4 months to a healthy 160lbs (on a 5'7" frame). White bread is worse than heroin. Grains cause serious immune diseases.
Uh no, they died out. They were at the Neanderthal stage, you Homonid. Predators have shorter intestinal tracts and eat mostly meat. Our longer intestinal systems means red meat ROTS in our gut before it finally passes.
you do know that Neanderthals were not related to modern humans any more than gorillas are. don't you? also. the human body does not have the necessary enzymes to break down most plant matter. also, if one truly considers chimps to be the closest genetic relative of humans, then we should eat mostly meat, as they and bonobos do.
@BellaaMarlene No. Chimps actually eat lots of insects, and small mammals when they can get them. Some have even been observed committing cannibalism. They do eat fruit, but only because it's readily available. They rarely eat what we would call vegetables, although the do sleep on them.
Great info - except for the excercise part. Nutrition is important but so is physical activity. Cavemen didn't go to gyms but I guarantee you they got their excercise. Important element to healthy living!
Weak and small? hmmm Since this is how the vast majority of elite crossfitters eat, obviously you are not very well informed. Good luck with your bowl of pasta. Cancer is absolutely of no concern at all on this diet. No living thing eats apple seeds Again someone uninformed. Enjoy your bowl of apple seeds.
@rsbmg Those elite cross-fitters may be the ideal of fitness for you, but their endurance, bones and health are far inferior compared to those of the ancient men. You gave poor example
So people before 10000 years ago were all weak and small? Ohhhh so thats how they hunted mammoth didn't they? Weak and small mammoth hunters, makes heaps of sense to me.
actually yes..humans were alot smaller and weaker back then. they did not kill large game with their strength but their brain...the ability to make traps, tools(weapons) to kill their food. even the strongest man in the world today could not kill a mammoth with brute strength.
its funny how people nowdays subscribe to the widespread notion that being big means being strong and healthy; you dont even need to go further back than twentieth century before the use of steroids and supplements to realise that people couldnt get as big as now, in a really unnatural way. The only possible advantage of getting so big is looks in a society obsessed with image. "looks deceive". Agiculture became the norm in a world that replace roaming for cities, slavery and mass control
spoken like a true hippy, who has joined the crossfit cult. Being bigger does mean beaing stronger, but I never said it means being healthier...but doing hours of cardio a day and only eating fruit for carbs is definately unhealthy. you will never make any kind of significent muscle gains and you will end up looking like a holocaust victim. crossfit is a cult..do not drink the kool aid.
actually an anthropology major, and suscribe o a full meat diet. If you see the bodies of indigenous people who still live in forests with a natural diet, you'll find they eat lots of raw meat and zero carbs, and their bodies are far from modern ideas of strength; they are lean yet strong warriors and hunters, they don't have big chests. One tribes people in africa was shown pictures of bodybuilders and they thought their big chess where those of a lactant woman, lol
I agree, but they did eat veg and fruit? Yes? These are carbs. Could you comment on the diet they ate, for example, what raw meat and if they got a bird would they just tuck in? would they get lots of meat everyday? I wondered how much exercise they would have to do, and how much if it would be weight lifting and running/walking.
@karloshaman you CANNOT have zero carbs!!! stupid! those people you talk about are more likely skin & bones. raw meat these days is impossible anyway without getting infected with parasites & bacteria
@BellaaMarlene Well, Bellisima, I have been on and off this diet for years, and it always felt great, no parasites or bacteria, a great energy surge and rejuvenation. There's still some carbs in the cavemans diet, mainly some fruits they grabbed like berries, but nothing cooked which happened after the advent of agriculture.
Nowadays I subscribe to a "who gives a shit" diet, which is just eat what you like, and enjoy, life is short.
If humnas were so small and weak how come we are still here? How can you say I do not know anything about the human body when you have not even looked at studies suporting what I was saying. Have you ever gone on a paleolithic diet? If you did EXPERIENCE the hightened energy I do not thin kyou would be concentrating on studies. Alot of primary research papers are slanted by the scientists interpretations. There maybe a beter diet but the paleoworked for me. Best wishes
Are you serious? Body fat is burned initially, then muscle. And are you saying that just because you stop eating pasta, bread, dairy products and junk food you're going to be small and weak? I just realized that my own custom diet is basically this one. And I've lost so much weight.
you say body fat gets burned first and then muscle??? ok...thats why bodybuilders have such an easy time cutting..yep they shred all their body fat of first and once they reach the muscle, they stop cutting....lol...you need to do a little more research before you start acting like you know what your talking about.
and while they are burning fat they eat lots of lean meats for example to keep muscle loss at a minimum, because yes, muscle is also burned in the process but not as much as fat.
what you are sayin now totally contradicts what you said in your previous arguement. at first you said "Body fat is burned initially, then muscle", and now your saying, when dieting, you lose fat and muscle at the same time, and eat high amounts of protein in an attemp to keep as much muscle as possible. the second one is true.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Er there is something called B-17 in apple seeds, beans, and certain grains you warned not to eat so... If you want cancer then by all means enjoy the paleolithic diet.
You can get cancer from damn near everything these days. Forgoing a little pasta is about as likely to give you a tumour as breathing in as you type that comment on your computer.
Plagiarism is a main issue at university which I currently attend, luckily you are still in high school and won't be expelled if caught out. Just curious are you yourself a paleo brethren? I've been on it for almost 2 months now, before that I had a somewhat healthy diet but had a lot of bread, and salts. I have changed this and started to eat more meat. berries and nuts!
It wasn't plagiarism. The project involved research, and that's what we did. It was only like, a page, so we didn't need much more than that one website. We never said anything verbatim, though. Just stating the facts of the diet.
And no, I couldn't stand being on a diet that disallowed sugar, milk, and chocolate. XD I need my sweets.
My mistake, it sounded like you had a certain bias and more in favor for this particular eating habit. But knowing the things you know now, do you ever feel any regret or guilty for allowing yourself to eat all the "anti nutrients of the neolithic diet", I myself will have cereal once every 2 weeks, and have some sort of chocolate once a week - I'm not totally paleo, but I try my best. Anyway good work B+ - :D
B17 is in apricot kernels, sprouting seeds, nectarines, and apricots, raw nuts, read on.
In most all fruit seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry, orange, plums, nectarine and apricot, often in the extraordinary concentration of 2 to 3 percent. The apple seed is equally rich in vitamin B17, wheat grass, bitter almonds, Macadamia nuts are very rich in Vitamin B17 and so are bamboo shoots, great abundance in a very wide variety of vegetable
this diets cures acne too but you cant eat any pesticides, preservatives, artificials colors, or flavors. because those are also toxic. im paleolithic and eat that but everything i eat is organic and natural. i feel so good aver since i have been eating this way
I just got the info off the internet, dude. What more do you expect from a high school biology student? It's not like I have the time to run sophisticated experiments on metabolism and diet.
I just realised... I've done a painting of the apple photo at 2:15. Wow, who would've thought I'd see it again like this, I mean it's just one apple picture in a sea of apple pictures.
salt is sodium we need sodium for a balance in fluids and it is used by the heart for electric impulses , pepper is like an herb , we get enough salt in out diets in fruits veggies and meat , unlees yer really working out and are not eating properly or fasting drinkin too much water u can flush salt out of your system and cause a problem .
eating vegetables with meat? paleo man did not eat vegetables with meat..in fact paleo man didn't eat many veggies as meat was preferred - veggies would have only been eaten if no meat was available...
What a minute. You can eat green beans raw as well as peas and snow peas (pea-pod and all) raw. I've eaten dried up peas which I must add are very delicious.
They guy talking in the vid says these foods contain deadly toxins. The amount contained in a serving is not deadly. You won't die if you eat a serving of raw green beans. But they do contain toxins and or anti-nutrients. These foods are not necessary and do not promote health but rather are toxic.
i suppose it depends how strict you are going to be, i personaly wouldn't think sausage would be allowed since traditionaly it is highly processed, besides the main sources of protien should concentrate around organ meats, which would have been more highly prized than muscle meats. Muscle meat is still more highly prized in (though few) excisting paleolithic peoples of the world.
"wouldn't think sausage would be allowed since traditionaly"
Anybody stuck in the Paleolithic era is not "allowed" to disobey the religious tenets of the paleo diets but u are correct, sausage is processed but the bigger problem is that meat is NOT digested as well as plants, sprouts, lettuce. And meat and nuts use opposing digestive processes (acidic) to fruit/greens/sprouts. The hominoidea digestive systems were optimized for fruit before hunting, which did NOT cause a digestive overhaul.
Im sure some 100 year old 'grain, rice & noodle' eating Jap has a good belly laugh every time he see's us fat-arsed, over fed western hypercondriacts trying to fathom out why we're dropping dead in our 40's from cardiopathy and various cancers, then shelling out millions on diet books that only tell us the fucking obvious.
But if cooking is old enough.. why can't you eat potatoes and beans? Naturally, cooking over a fire would have swiftly been followed by boiling water for warmth, and then boiling food in it.

Normalais, potatoes are mostly starch, therefore they're fattening. They came from Peru. Homo Erectus never saw a potato.
The term cavemen is too vague. Which species do you mean? You don't know. They didn't all live in caves and they weren't all men.
And cooking probably started 1.8 million years ago. I just read Catching Fire by Richard Wrangham. I love this book!

Not grain not beans or dairy and meat.Fruite vegs and bugs , that would make you healthy and strong as an ox.Thats my opion we all have a right to one , if you dont agree than just move on with your own ideas .

@shampoo02 Learning how to hunt for large prey as a group. or even elusive smaller prey, when you don't have have natural weapons such as claws, and big canines means you need to work in groups, and develop some form of efficient communication skills so people know where they are supposed to be, etc. In harsh climates it is imperative to have a source of at, for fuel for your body. You need meat, and fat, from animals that store it, to survive.

@1984potionlover lnuit had got diseases such as polio,there was as yet no vaccine.At the same time,the caribou population west of the Hudson Bay nearly perished.that area lost their food supply.Inuit mostly living in camps faced threat from tuberculosis.many who contracted the disease had to be treated in sanatoriums in the south.Many tried to continue their traditional way of living in their ancestral regions while adapting to the new conditions.They became dependent on governmental welfare

Gladiators were vegan. We are meant to eat some meat (fish), but surely not everyday. IMO, we are meant to share the land with everyone. For you to say that grains and beans are bad is just stupid. Look at people living up past 100 and they all barely eat meat and eat more whole grains. How many of you when you see an animal in the wild start salivating? Thought so.

Loook @ a child and you think it came from "pond scum"? Silly.
wigwamman1 7 months ago
@wigwamman1 the reason monkeys still exist is because through natural selection those species of primates were maintained. Humans arose because primate ancestors long ago had traits (even mutations) that allowed them to live longer and reproduce more successfully than other primates. Also, speciation events can occur where populations of organisms are separated from one another and only those isolated groups can reproduce. Over time isolated populations will look different from one another.
Oecologeae 6 months ago in playlist Organizing
@wigwamman1 We didn't evolve from any contemporary primate species nor "monkey". Humans and primates share a common ancestor. The modern day species that is the most closely related to homo sapiens is the bonobo. Humans did not evolve from the bonobo. Bonobos and humans evolved from a common ancestor that was more like a mix of humans and bonobos than like one or the other.
Species diverge in this manner (speciation) usually by two populations of one species separating. Look up "ring species".

hey caveman.

Anyone who tells you that beans are not good for you, and even "toxic", is lying through their teeth. beans are extraordinarily good for you. And there are many seeds and grains that are extraordinarily good for you (brown rice, quinoa, salba, etc), but you already knew that. Oh, by the way, apple seeds are loaded with vitamin B-17, a NATURAL form of cyanide. The main ingredient in Laetrile. One of the most powerful anti-cancer substances known to man. Apricot kernels are loaded with it as well.

@DelusionTerminator "Anyone who tells you that beans are not good for you, and even "toxic", is lying through their teeth."
Good or not good for you is up to medical debate, but toxicity is uncontroversial and scientifically proven. Beans are extremely toxic in their natural state where, if eaten, can kill you. When cooked beans lose most of their toxicity, but they are still at least mildly toxic. You can ask a bean costume wearin pro-bean dietician and you'll get the same information.

@IVoteNone You're right. But at the same time, meat today is just pumped to the brim with antibiotics.

Paleo diets would have been very high in fat and had smaller portions of meat. Which is why they hunted animals with alot of subcutaneous fat, like mamoths and buffolas. They would have been primarily interested in the organ meats, being that they are the most nutrient dense. They wouldnt have bothered with fruit and veggies too much, because they are an insufficient source of calories, irritate the gut and have pathetic amounts of nutrients in comparison to organ meats.

you are being pedantic-- the principles remain pretty much the same-- nothing that wasn't available prior to the neolithic revolution Anywhere in the world.

Paleolithic Diet is perhaps a misnomer-- perhaps it should be considered a set of general principles regarding our approach to food

Your final paragraph sums it up perfectly, get rid of the idea of it being some evolutionarily ordained 'perfect' diet and regard it as sensible eating and I have little to argue about.

Despite this, there are many things to agree with with your diet. I like to eat mainly vegetables with meat in moderation :)

Theoretically, other raw meat is okay too, but because of the way cattle are raised and processed in really disgusting conditions (watch Food, Inc. for an example), they are more likely than ever to be carrying diseases. So, I would never eat other types of raw meat.

In most all fruit seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry, orange, plums, nectarine and apricot, often in the extraordinary concentration of 2 to 3 percent. The apple seed is equally rich in vitamin B17, wheat grass, bitter almonds, Macadamia nuts are very rich in Vitamin B17 and so are bamboo shoots, great abundance in a very wide variety of vegetable

Anybody stuck in the Paleolithic era is not "allowed" to disobey the religious tenets of the paleo diets but u are correct, sausage is processed but the bigger problem is that meat is NOT digested as well as plants, sprouts, lettuce. And meat and nuts use opposing digestive processes (acidic) to fruit/greens/sprouts. The hominoidea digestive systems were optimized for fruit before hunting, which did NOT cause a digestive overhaul.

How can i reach you? I have a paleo business idea I believe you'll be fascinated to learn about.

I likely wouldn't. I only did this movie for a school project. I wouldn't follow it myself. I like chocolate too much. :)

I thought pancakes need milk in order to be made.
Anyway, this is great stuff! No wonder diary food gives me cramps when I workout. I've also gotten sick of cereal too!

You can make pancakes with water. I do it all the time.

Im sure some 100 year old 'grain, rice & noodle' eating Jap has a good belly laugh every time he see's us fat-arsed, over fed western hypercondriacts trying to fathom out why we're dropping dead in our 40's from cardiopathy and various cancers, then shelling out millions on diet books that only tell us the fucking obvious.

I thought you were mostly just supposed to eat food raw on this diet.

No. Cooking is old enough to count as paleolithic. Some people prefer to eat raw food on this diet, but it's not required.

But if cooking is old enough.. why can't you eat potatoes and beans? Naturally, cooking over a fire would have swiftly been followed by boiling water for warmth, and then boiling food in it.
