Paleodiet criticizes Raw Food diet as "not optimal"

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ The first tip for success is when you take on any program — diet, exercise — regimen, its important that you own it and understand that no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what sort of background you have or what sort of future you predict for yourself your health is probably your number one job. If youre not healthy and dont have the ability to go through life and enjoy every moment, it really sours the whole life experience. I really do want people to own that notion that your job as a human being, first and foremost, is to stay healthy. Thats what your genes want you to do, and when you do that then everything else you do increases by orders of magnitude. The enjoyment of life, the ability to experience movement and be able to travel and to have access to memories and to be able to support your loved ones and to be able to love. All of these things emanate from the first core job one, which is to stay healthy. Its critical to embarking on any new program. ~Mark Sisson~

Mark Sisson: #Primal vs #Vegan

The human body is a very adaptable mechanism. For instance, some people have survived on seaweed and shoe leather during the great potato famine. However, surviving is not necessarily thriving, and Mark contends that there has never been a society in history that has survived on a meatless diet.

Speaking extremes — if you happen to be an adult that has already gone through the development stages, and go from a fried food and grain diet to a fresh fruits and vegetables based diet, youll obviously see improvements and feel better for some time.

The base of the Primal Blueprint foods pyramid has fruits and vegetables as the base of the diet. Cutting out the meats, fish, poultry, and other proteins may have its consequences, but it doesnt mean that as a Vegan or Raw Foodist or Vegetarian you wont thrive and survive. Its just not optimal if you are looking to maximize your health, strength, lean body mass and all the things required to create the ideal body.

Mark Sisson goes on to share his thoughts on a book that I have enjoyed for a few years called The China Study. He contends that the book was written with a bias that does not reflect the actual research. Perhaps if Dr. Campbell, author of The China Study, wrote a book based on the actual research, he might not have come up with the same conclusions.

In recent longevity studies, it has been shown that individuals who consume the least amount of calories tend to be the ones that live the longest. The results in The China Study could thus be a function of calorie restriction. Mark Sisson contends that Dr. Campbell never looks at populations that are strictly vegetarians, just ones that consume less meat, less fish, and thus less calories.

In The Primal Blueprint, Mark Sisson points out that humans evolved to do a lot of low level activity, and the populations of China that have been studied in a lot of studies are rural populations where people do a lot of physical labor. Theyre working their days doing low level activities in the fields, which Mark contends is the perfect type of exercise. conscious evolution raw vegan optimal health sustainable community timeline 2012 brian clement emotional eating food addiction spiritual growth healing living food

I used to be a RAW VEGAN, but now I am on a paleo diet... I felt mental clarity on raw vegan, but I had some depression, after starting to consume FATS (saturated) on paleo diet, I started feeling so much better and more optimistic toward life. I eat fatty fish + olive oil + coconut oil + chicken and I make fat bulion with beef bones yum yum..

so... judge for yourself.

Aftr I cut out all grain, I decreased so much inflammation throughout my body.

@joecham76 RAW food does cure because It is very cleansing and detoxifying. Cleans your bowels liver pineal, and other glands. This goes a long way in making progress towards overcoming very serious illness. However It is true that in the long term raw vegan diets are "not optimal" leaving out many important essential nutrients not available in plants.

@baggytheo You call telling the truth and squashing lies pompous? Know wonder you are carb-phobic and follow pseudo-science(which is the truth of the Atkins/Paleo/Zone diets). Here's a though: Just think of all the Vitamin A we could get from a human being, I bet our body would respond very favorably to that.

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

@baggytheo Many dietary factors, e.g. fat and protein, affect absorption. 10-50% of the total beta-carotene consumed is absorbed in the GI tract. The proportion of carotenoids absorbed decreases as dietary intake increases. Within the intestinal wall (mucosa), beta-carotene is partially converted into vitamin A (retinol) by the enzyme dioxygenase. This mechanism is regulated by the individual's vitamin A status. If the body has enough vitamin A, the conversion of beta-carotene decreases

[baggytheo]

@LuckynumberSlevin11 It's a little pompous to bring your Nutrition 101 talking points to the conversation and think you've "owned" somebody with it. Beta carotene only converts to vitamin A in the presence of fat, and only sparingly in most people (and barely enough to avert deficiency in some). Our biology clearly responds more favorably to retinoids from animal foods.

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

@wormmy1 If you studied nutrition which is what I study you would have realised that beta carotene converts to vA. Just got owned propaganda spreader.

[wormmy1]

@LuckynumberSlevin11 I study nutrition all the time unlike you who obviously frequents propaganda sites and thinks it's science. Look at the evidence and save your own life.

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

@wormmy1 Acid not a nutrient. animal protein is not a nutrient. Protein is. Beta carotene converts to Vitamin A(Pretty basic nutrition there buddy). Vitamin D. Ever heard of the sun(Thats where the animals get it from dummy). yeah probably more nutrients lmfao you lobotomized donkey. Never studied nutriton did you?

[wormmy1]

@LuckynumberSlevin11 Arachodonic acid, animal protein, carnosine, vitamin A, vitamin K2, vitamin D, EPA & DHA, alpha lipoic acid, conjugated linoleic acids and probably more.

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

@cpilfold420 What are the important nutrients not available in plants apart from b12?

[Lakkhesis1976]

@LuckynumberSlevin11 There's no point attempting to have a rational debate with someone so judgemental and rigidly attached to their cause as to call a stranger 'unloved' and 'unnatural'. I don't CARE what you eat, just quit pretending that your choice is conducive to health.

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

@Lakkhesis1976 Small amounts are critically to health. Let's turn to tables on that one and you show me some evidence for this. This is simply untrue. All slaughter is the same you unnatural and unloved woman however much you try and convince yourself otherwise.
