It is hard not to walk down the street or turn on the television without advertisements for French fries, soda, or burgers being blared at us these days. Or better yet, if you have ever seen a commercial advertising chocolate, whether it is dark chocolate or truffles, the imagery is often more sensual than the feeling I personally get from eating a piece of chocolate. Others show how happy people are when they drink a certain brand of soda, or how a certain vodka can make you the life of the party. And while all of this is holding the proverbial carrot in front of the public in order to make viewers feel sensual about chocolate and other emotions about food, that is not what food’s original purpose ever was.
Diets feel like deprivation but food is never the enemy
The new generation of food is primarily associated with pleasing the palate and rarely understands how the food takes a toll on the body and affects its performance. It is difficult not to use a car metaphor, but the comparison rings true: your system performs as well as the fuel you feed it and as much as you care for it.
Don’t get me wrong, I have been a meat and potatoes person for the two decades I have been consuming calories and I have never been one to consume salads (veggies are a go, though!). But I read something about weight loss in a magazine that I can’t forget that spoke of eating food as fuel, instead of pleasure, as a means of weight loss.
This idea is a total reversal of everything I had been taught about food and in the coming weeks after reading that I ate only as much as I knew I would be burning.
Think about how planning your day would be totally different if you planned your eating around the ratio of calories burned to calories consumed. Usually a day of eating looks like this: little to no breakfast and maybe coffee in the morning when you need calories most, a rushed lunch, and finally a large dinner at the end of the day when you are likely about to go to bed and have the calories sit and be stored instead of used actively.
An assortment that will power you and your run
Alternatively, if you know you will doing a lot of sitting during the day, plan accordingly by eating foods that are low in calories but will keep you full for a long time so you don’t get the munchies right after you finish that bag of chips (speaking from experience). Lean meats and fiber-rich foods are key along with veggies (though watch out! if your system isn’t used to this, your gastrointestinal system might make you socially potent if you have too many at once). However if you know you will be going for a walk later or maybe even a run, or you will be playing with your children, eating simple carbs to have energy readily available, along with fiber-rich carbs and protein for long term energy is your best bet.
This system also works in terms of relatively how much energy you will be expending: more calories for more intense activity, and fewer for a slower day. And while this is a nice theory and more difficult to keep in practice, it helps to start by asking before planning your next meal: “How much fuel do I need to finish my plans?” or some derivative instead of using food as a temporary pleasure.
I have also found that foods that are “cleaner”, such as eating mostly vegetables, or nothing being fried in a meal will weigh me down less, and that eating something like a burger will noticeably weigh me down to the point of frustration.
Does anyone else feel this correlation? My family first pointed it out to me after they read a book about veganism and began to cut out meat and fried foods, and I totally agree about my body feeling better. Let me know about your food experience or if you have any ideas.

I’m totally opposite. I avoid carbs, unless it is in vegetables or fruit and I avoid most processed foods. I avoid bread, flour, processed food although I do love chocolate. I eat a ton of meat, fat, nuts, protein, vegetables and some fruit. I try to get the majority of my calories from fat, followed by protein and then some carbs. I try to keep my ratio of fat/protein/carbs to 60/30/10 or around there. My body fat is very low, BMI is dead center for my height and weight and I have tons of energy to do my workouts, train for a race and be active with my kids. Since I switched over to a low carb diet I have never felt better.
The weighing down you feel after a burger maybe due to the bread or the highly processed meat in it. As for veganism, I can’t eat enough vegetables or fruit until I feel satisfied and I am hungry almost immediately. Not to mention that the B series of vitamins which is crucial to survival is only found in meat and meat products would indicate to me that vegetarianism is not a long term eating method.
I just re-read my post and I don’t want to come across as an ass, which I most definitely did. So…. I also focus on eating clean by eating less or very little processed foods. I buy most of my groceries from the local farmers market, of which most farms are organic. I try to get most of my carbs from vegetables and fruit and avoid flour, sugar or HFCS. I do eat a lot of meat which is bought at the farmers market as well and the butcher I buy from is organic and free range.
I don’t buy into the whole vegetarianism way of eat for a variety of reasons. I’ll just leave it st that although I do like that they also try to avoid processed foods.
I do whole heartedly agree with you that you are only as good as what you put into your body. I am extremely active and couldn’t do it if I ate horrible foods.
The Panel has detected false or incorrect information on this page.
The source is the comment, with the following text:
FALSIFIED TEXT: “Not to mention that the B series of vitamins which is crucial to survival is only found in meat and meat products”(Incorrect Information) sourced to the user named “Rob”.
Commonly seen, this is a false myth. The erroneous statement claiming that B Vitamins, indeed mainly mentioning B12, is ‘only available in meat’ is now scientifically debunked and shown fallacious. This is a known myth that has been traced back to a front orgainization named the “Weston A. Price Foundation” which is now listed on QUACKWATCH.
CORRECT INFORMATION: Vitamin B-12 is available in both Vegetarian and Vegan sources.=FACT.
To verify this yourself, please observe the proceedings of the following scientific article::
PROOF: SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE:
“Vitamin B12 the Active Corrinoid Produced in Cultivated White Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)”
ALL B VITAMINS ARE AVAILABLE FROM VEGAN SOURCES. INCLUDING B-12.
PROOF QUOTE: “High concentrations of vitamin B12 were..detected in.. flush mushrooms including cups and flats.”-The Journal of Agriculture & Food Chemistry.
It means there’s B-12 in mushrooms, which is a purely vegan source. This means that vegans can obtain Vitamin B12 even on a vegan diet, and from purely natural sources, without meat whatsoever. In other words, the line that has been falsely spread intimating that vegetarians or vegans somehow ‘cant get b12’ is ruled fallacious and discredited. It cannot be used. If you see this statement, that user’s post can be thrown out as debunked.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: VITAMIN B-12 DOES NOT COME FROM MEAT
Vitamin B-12 is Not even produced by meat. Understand this. B-12 isn’t even produced or originated by livestock meat animals anyway, Vitamin B-12 is created by Bacteria. Bacteria produces B12, not meat. The B12 bacteria can be found ANYWHERE. Not ‘just in meat’. This B-12 producing (good) bacteria can also be present in and on plants, and in fact it is. Vitamin B-12 is not created by the meat animal, the one that is being killed for meat and steak. B-12 is produced by bacteria, some of which simply happens to be on the meat, but this B-12 producing bacteria is all over the place, it is present throughout Nature, it is in the ground, in the soil, in the garden, and also in plants. Understand that.
LABORATORY PROOF: “Concentrations of vitamin B12 [were] detected in [MUSHROOMS] outer peel than in cap, stalk, or flesh, suggesting that the vitamin B12 is..bacteria-derived. “-Results of Research by the Centre for Plant and Food Science, College of Health and Sciences. This is proven.
Vitamin B, specifically Vitamin b-12 is not produced by meat, it is not ‘only available in meat’, it is produced by ‘good’ bacteria, which is everywhere in Nature, and thus available to vegetarians and vegans alike, and from a purely natural source from Nature. This is a scientifically confirmed fact, and it does nto matter if the falsified line is erroneously spread a thousand times, prevalence of misinformation does not make it correct.
Also, please note, the next debunked myth that was traced back to the WAPF front group attempted to insinuate that it was all pseudovitamin b12 or the inactive form, this is also confirmed FALSE. If you see any individual attempt to put that plants only have the inactive form, that user is immediately debunked.
SCIENTIFIC PROOF:
“Mass spectrometry showed mass spectra identical to those of the standard vitamin B12…NOT of the pseudovitamin B12, an inactive corrinoid in humans.” -JOURNAL OF FOOD CHEMISTRY of the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY.
In other words, what this means, is that the vegan B12 was analyzed in laboratory testing using mass spectrometry and it was found NOT to be pseudovitamin B12. It is the fully active human usable form of Vitamin B12.
Any erroneous attempt to state that vegans or vegetarians ‘cant get vitamin b’ or ‘cant obtain b12’ or its not available ‘in high concentrations’ or it’s ‘the inactive form’ or vegan diets arent ‘natural’ because they ‘cant get it'(false) are all scientifically and factually debunked. If you are reading this and you had believed those, don’t feel bad, you got duped by a known frontgroup that has erroneously attempted to spread it and dupe you and the public. Along with the known Quack group Weston Price Foundation, other entities tied to the group such as Dr. Mercola, Michael Eades, Sally Fallon, Barry Groves, Crossfit, Paleolithic diet, Cordain, and several other known debunked entities have also been caught intentionally and/or fraudulently spreading it. However, even innocent persons, who have simply been duped by these undermining organizations, and even some doctors sites, and even a few vegetarian and/or vegan sites have been fooled into thinking it was true when it’s not. So don’t get mad at them, direct your attention to those that spread the false ‘B12 only in meat’ information to you intentionally. This is now scientifically confirmed fallacious.
To view and confirm this yourself, type this into GOOGLE and look it up:
“Vitamin B12 the Active Corrinoid Produced in Cultivated White Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)”
This conclusively confirms via corroborated scientific laboratory spectrometry that the myth is false and not only can vegans obtain all B vitamins, but also B-12, and from purely natural plain white button mushrooms, which is an entirely vegan source.
You may not use the line that vegans cant obtain B12, or that B12 is ‘only in meat’ again. This is now known to be false.
Please note also the following fact:
40% OF MEAT EATERS TESTED WERE SHOWN TO BE VITAMIN B-12 DEFICIENT.
Many of these similar sites also attempt to pose another insinuation that vegans or vegetarians are all ‘deficient’ and that you ‘need to eat meat’ or some such thing and then you’ll be fine and omnivores or those on a meat diet get ‘all the nutrients required for survival’, this is ruled False.
40% of meat eaters tested were DEFICIENT! Thus if meat were such a great source of dense nutrients, then why are meat-eaters proven deficient in nutrients ‘needed for survival’? The reason is because it’s not meat. Eating meat you may also lack essential nutrients and test deficient. B12 is produced by bacteria, which is in a variety of sources, but B12 is confirmed not itself produced by meat. Ingesting meat can still result in you or anyone becoming B12 deficient. (But in addition, meat has been linked to cancer,so you’ll not only be deficient but also budding cancer, and then as a meat-eater you’ll have 2 problems to worry about instead of one easily remedied one.)
CONCLUSION:
PURELY VEGAN SOURCES HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED TO CONTAIN RICH ACTIVE VITAMIN B-12.
Please make a note of it. Any instance seen claiming the opposite can be summarily dismissed.
INTERESTING FACTS:
Here is some other information that may be of interest:
Please note that the ATKINS LOWCARB HIGH MEAT HIGH SATURATED FAT diet is discredited.
In fact, Atkins is dead. Dr. Robert Atkins went around stating that saturated fat wasn’t bad and was great for your heart, and that eating tons of meat was good, and helped people lose weight. The father of this diet is now Dead. He died from a fall and hit his head, upon autopsy, it was found that he had evidence of HEART DISEASE. And the autopsy confirmed evidence of a Stroke, which may be the reason he lost his balance, and hit his head. In addition, he was found to be OBESE. So, the man who went around touting that you should eat lots of meat and fat and that it was good for your heart and you should follow his Atkins lowcarb diet, died showing evidence of heart disease and fat.
Blog systems don’t allow throngs of links, but you can put “ATKINS AUTOPSY REPORT SMOKING GUN” into Google and see Atkins actual medical examiner/coroner autopsy report. It shows he was MORBIDLY OBESE and the ‘lowcarb diet doctor’ weighed a bloated 258 pounds. His wife, heir to his Atkins Diet money, tried to maintain her money flow by denying it and saying Atkins ‘only’ weighed 195. Well, 195 pounds at his body type is still medically categorized as OBESE. Just not morbidly, but still classified obese.
In addition, ATKINS DIET division filed for BANKRUPTCY. Put “ATKINS FILES BANKRUPTCY” into Google and you can see for yourself. Although some people have still ‘not gotten the memo’, the Lowcarb diet fad is now pretty much debunked. If you are still following the lowcarb, high meat, saturated fat is good, diet, the fact that it killed its originator pretty much says it.
Note that this also applies to the “Zone” diet, the “SouthBeach” diet, ProteinPower diet, and all these other “low carb” high meat and fat based knock-offs. In fact all of these are now DENOUNCED officially by the American Heart Association after scientific and medical results showed severe damaging effects of these meat-based diets.
WESTON A. PRICE FOUNDATION has now been classified as a quack site.
Put “WESTON PRICE QUACKWATCH” into Google to view this yourself. WAPF was also exposed posting falsified and/or distorted information on Soy and Meat and other items by SOURCEWATCH.
As an example, Weston A. Price goes around touting that ‘indigenous people’ diets with loads of meat or oily greasy fish were the healthiest(false) citing tribes like the Arctic Inuits fish oil eaters and African Masai cattle eating tribes. Then they were exposed when it was revealed that the Masai have one of the SHORTEST LIFESPANS on earth. Their supposedly healthy diet of meat has resulted in the Masai tribe having one of the shortest lifespans on earth right around 45 years of age. In an amusing twist one individual tried to counter this by trying to say that this was only because they didn’t have Western hospitals and 21st century medicines against disease, but then the question arose, well if their meat-diet was touted as being so healthy, then why would they need all these medicines against diseases they’re supposedly not getting, and therefore this item was debunked.
Then it was exposed that the Arctic “eskimo diet” and aboriginal native Inuit diet of meat fat and fish was also causing human damage. A report by the Arctic AMAP norwegian scientific commission found that from eating high amounts of fish, seal meat, and lack of vitamins, vegetables, and minerals in their diet, the Inuit indigenous people were now found to be contaminated with MERCURY POISONING from their diet of meat and fish. Toxic levels of methylmercuric poison were tested in Inuit’s hair, bloodstream, and even their mother’s milk was contaminated. The scientists found levels of PCB’s, Toxaphene, DIOXIN compounds, Brominated Flame Retardants, and more, in the bodies of Inuit people who ate oily fish, caribou, elk, seal meat, whale meat and other meats. The inuit tribes children have been found being born with stunted brains, and infants born with birth defects. Their lifespan, touted as great by Weston Price, is also one of the shortest on the planet. The Inuit are now classified sadly as the most-contaminated population of humans on the earth, so much so, that their blood and tissue samples, if they’d been found at a dump site, were so contaminated they’d be classified as Hazardous Waste.
Put “INUIT METHYLMERCURIC POISON BLUEVOICE” into GOOGLE to see this for yourself.
In addition to this, the OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON of the Weston A. Price Foundation, whose name was Stephen Byrnes, who authored a whole manifesto railing against vegetarians and claiming it wasn’t healthy and touting that eating Saturated Fat and Meat was good for you and good for your heart and never caused heart disease or diabetes…DIED OF HEART DISEASE.
Put “STEPHEN BYRNES WESTON PRICE DIED OF STROKE” into Google to look it up for yourself. That pretty much says it about the Weston A. Price Foundation when its very own spokesperson telling the public to eat lots of meat and that meat and saturated fats were not bad for your heart turns up dead due to Heart Disease. He was merely 45 years old.
In addition, it has been found medically that the Lowcarb Highfat diet is not sustainable. Because it throws the human system into a state which is medically called “Ketosis”. If one eats a high meat, low carb, high fat diet, the body slowly starts essentially ‘digesting itself’. In the sense that it is being fed large amounts of too much protein, not enough carbs for energy, and although some experience an initial period of fat loss whereby the body is trying to obtain sources of energy which it is being deprived of on a meat fat lowcarb diet, if this persists, after the fat becomes low, your body starts eating its own muscle, and depleting muscle tissue. This is why a meat-based no grain low carb fat diet is not sustainable. This is scientifically and medically corroborated.
THE “PALEO DIET” IS DEBUNKED:
The “Paleolithic Diet” or “Paleo Diet” also ridiculed as the “Caveman Diet” or Neanderthin diet, PaNu, Crossfit diet, etc has now been completely debunked down to its foundation. These diets went around telling people that you should eat lots of meat, like a caveman, or like they supposedly believed paleolithic man ate. They told people that ancient humans didn’t eat grains, and went around claiming that Grains were bad, and only came about at 10,000 years ago when they believed man only started doing agriculture. Instead they went around making people think you should eat like a cave man and that man supposedly ‘evolved’ as a hunter-gatherer and NEVER ATE GRAINS BEFORE 10,000 years ago and therefore you should eat large volumes of meat. They claimed that man was healthy prior to 10,000 years ago, and that only more recently than 10,000 years ago is when man started to have diseases and problems. Keep in mind… the Paleo Dieters fundamental principle was that paleo man DIDNT EAT GRAINS, and that prior to 10,000 years ago, man was completely healthy. Keep that in mind as you read further…
One of the most crucial founding principles of the “Paleo Diet” states that humans ONLY began eating grains 10,000 years ago. This is ruled: FALSE.
This has been debunked, by the National Academy of Sciences.
It seems that the very paleontologists and archaeologists that dug up Paleolithic man, have also now found that they ate grain!
NEWS: “MANKIND ATE GRAINS PRIOR TO 10,000 YEARS AGO.”
Archaeologists have now confirmed evidence of Paleolithic man using Grains. Not only that, but Paleolithic man did Not eat just meat, it is now revealed that Paleolithic man prepared and refined not only grains, but ate many plants, and even did this far beyond 10,000 years ago.
QUOTE: “The production of flour, was a common practice, widespread across Europe from at least 30,000 years ago.”
-THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Now keep in mind, all of the Paleo diets, Crossfit, PaNu, Neanderthin, etc are all telling you that man didn’t eat grains(false). This is now completely debunked. By paleontologists themselves. It means that the paleo diet is now wholly debunked.
Here is a list of debunked Paleolithic diet claimants, authors, and sites:
WITNESS the following statements and Paleo, Caveman, PaNu, Cordain, Eades, Groves, NeanderThin, Robb Wolf, etc diet claims:
DEBUNKED: “Grains did not exist in the human diet until about 10,000 years ago” Dr. Cordain’s ThePaleoDiet =Now Revealed False.
DEBUNKED: “These foods have only been around for 10000 years” -Caveman Diet=False.
DEBUNKED: “If it was not on the table 10000 years ago, don’t eat it!” -Primal Diet=Debunked.
DEBUNKED: “Grains were not a substantial part of the human diet prior to the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago”-30daysofPaleo=Debunked.
DEBUNKED: “the human brain has been steadily shrinking for the past 10000 years (9:10)-Robb Wolf=Discredited.
DEBUNKED: “The last 10000 years, the time in which we transitioned from hunting”-CrossFit=False.
DEBUNKED: “10000 years ago, in the beginning of agriculture”-The Paleo Solution=False.
DEBUNKED: “grains and dairy – only showed up about 10,000 years ago”-Paleo Primer=Fallacious.
DEBUNKED: “Since the advent of agriculture about 10000 years ago”-Dr. Barry Groves=Dr. Barry Groves Debunked.
DEBUNKED: “Strong, robust Cro-Magnons who settled into a life of agriculture circa 10000 years ago”-Dr. Michael Eades, Paleo Diet=Michael Eades Debunked.
DEBUNKED: “The Stone Age Diet or Hunter-Gatherer Diet, and the Paleolithic Diet are all based on the principle that people were much healthier 10,000 years ago”-Livestrong, Paleolithic Diet
It has now been revealed that Paleolithic man not only ate grains, but even may have made bread! And they didn’t just start this 10,000 years ago, but they did it a whopping 30-thousand years ago! Right during the time nearly every paleo diet knockoff is saying mankind was ‘healthy’ this means grains are healthy. Now they are caught in a circular fallacy, meaning the fundamental claim pushed on the public by virtually every Paleo follower has been debunked by results coming down from the National Academy of Science.
THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF THESE INDIVIDUAL’S DIET PLANS IS NOW DISCREDITED
To view this yourself, view the scientific article:
“Evidence Of Plant Food Processing 30,000 Years Ago”
Reported by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
on Wednesday, 20 October 2010 (on October 20, 2010)
Or put “EVIDENCE PALEOLITHIC MAN ATE GRAINS” into Google or any search engine
In other news, Neanderthals have now been found with evidence of plants in their teeth. In other words, in direct contradiction to the imaginary conception of Neanderthal man as ogre hunter carnivores, Neanderthals ate plants. This is proven. Food items were found in the jawbones of skulls of Neanderthals, the items were laboratory analyzed, they were plants. Neanderthals had plants in their teeth.
Type this: “NEANDERTHALS ATE VEGETABLES” into Google and see it for yourself. If you disagree, then you are not simply arguing against a blog, your task will be that you are up against THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. You’ll need to pit yourself and your chat post up against actual Paleontologists, Archaeologists, and the entire board of the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
Again, as long as these debunked dietdoctors and schemes can recruit the unwitting and sell more books, they continue to prey on the less-educated. However, once the actual medical facts, and science is exposed, the entire Paleo diet fad is revealed as scientifically debunked. Sorry if you believed in it, however the Paleolithic diet has been debunked, by themselves, and by the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
THE PALEO DIET HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.
As a regular lurker at several nutrition / diet forums, I see that some of the regulars from one of those online groups are circling the wagons in response to this “Fact Checking”, but I appreciate the information.
Right now, I am tending towards a low-carb, nearly primal diet, but am open-minded — not “open-minded” in the way many proponents of such programs claim to be (meaning “you agree with me”), but truly open to information from a variety of angles.
As the fact checker suggested here, I *have* checked out several of the “fact checked” items, and it is indeed correct on every one that I have followed up. I just wanted to say “thank you” for presenting another side of things.
Doesn’t debunk my reversal of diabetes, reversal of hypertension, normalization of cholesterol and triglyceride levels, 110lbs weight loss, disappearance of man boobs, disappearance of dandruff which I suffered for 36 years, thickening of my hair, disappearance of IBS, disappearance of mood swings, disappearance of eczema…etc ever since I stopped eating grains, sugar and vegetable oils.
May not have worked for you, but certainly works for me.
Putting DEBUNKED in front of every sentence doesn’t actually debunk anything. Basing your argument on one study is hardly conclusive. Gary Taubes wrote “Good Calories, Bad Calories” and has over 100 pages of bibliography that contain info on peer reviewed literature that all support the claim that high carb diets are bad for you. I am not about to change my opinion on some post on a website that has DEBUNKED as a start for every sentence and bases his argument on one study.
Yes, B12 is from bacteria, but that is how all animals and people get B12, which is from a animal based source or from a supplement or fortified food. Since supplements and fortified foods are a relatively new thing, I doubt people wandering around Africa 500 000 years ago had B12 supplements. Therefore they would have to get it from animal sources or spend an excessive amount of time looking for white button cap mushrooms in order to get the B vitamins they need; or they could eat an animal.
Using the Inuit as an example of a poor diet because of the contamination is ludicrous. The chemicals in the food make it dangerous, not the food itself.
You are DEBUNKED.
Dear Dick lick panel, you contradicted yourself. If b12 is only produced by bacteria then it can only be found in “dirty” mushrooms.
A simple look at the digestive systems of cows would tell you how the b12 gets into their flesh. In their stomachs the grass is first broken down by bacteria (which are a great source of b12), which multiply due to the copious amounts of food. The cows then go on to digest the bacteria, which from what I hear are a great source of protein (unlike grass).
Of course human feces is fairly high in b12 producing bacteria, care to chow down on that?
It should be noted that I stopped reading your post after you made yourself seem foolish, and thus will not be correcting you further.
I love the FACT CHECK PANEL – what an aggressive jerk. Something isn’t debunked just because you found trace amounts of B-12, or because the figure of 10,000 years is wrong. Reading that was like reading a religious fanatic’s account of their “factual” reality.
wtf is the fact check panel?
dear fact check panel: no one believes you.
hey, guess what? i am debunking you.
FACT: fact check panel is a douche bag and has an addiction to spouting out whatever he or she wants to believe as a fact.
FACT: fact check panel isn’t based on facts but on misinformation that is easy to believe because it isn’t researched completely.
FACT: dr.atkins is dead because people die.
FACT: is the fact check panel a person or an auto-angry response system put into place by the corn grower’s association?
there, i said it.
oh crap!, the paleo diet has been debunked by the fact check panel? oh man, now i need to find a new way of life., you know, now that i found out it has been debunked. good thing i found out it doesn’t exist any longer according to you.
thanks for saving me, fact check panel.
ok that’s all.
“I love the FACT CHECK PANEL – what an aggressive jerk. . .”
“FACT: fact check panel is a douche bag. . .”
“oh crap!, the paleo diet has been debunked by the fact check panel? . . .”
I’m as paleo as the rest of you, but writing comments that sound like a 12-year-old wrote them isn’t going to give you any credibility.
If you look into the info that the FACT CHECKER has posted, there is some interesting info — info that can be debated on the paleo / primal forums, not here.
Seriously. Grow up.
oh yeah? well i’m level 4 paleo!
jk. i’m not paleo at all. i follow an 80/20 primal philosophy, but i’m pretty bad at it. i’m not primaler than though, but i feel like i have a decent hold on what is a desirable diet. none the less, i do believe that the “facts” as posted by our friend, the fact checker, were posted out of anger and not out of research.
and yes, i do act like i am 12 when i am pissed. it is fine by me that you called me on it. i was stirrin the pot.
sorry dudes.
but we all are in agreement that the fact check panel was super aggressive, right? i felt attacked.
He was like a religious fanatic spouting his nonsense at you until you relent. Yes, he was very aggressive.
Now that it is May, can we get back to the original post?
Christine Skelly, you mentioned that you read something about weight loss in a magazine, about using food as fuel.
Can you tell me what the mag was, what the edition was, what the name of the article or the author was? I’d be interested in reading it, especially if it stuck with you that well.
Thanks.
i am new to the paleo diet. recently got the book. which forums are best for such questions?
Seconded! 150lbs lost, border-line Type II diabetes reversed. Interesting side note…the fat was all gained on a low-fat vegetarian diet.
Great so “douche bag” makes them sound 12. Of course the “oh-my-god I hate you, grow up” makes you sound like a bitchy 16 year old.
LOL
