Paleolithic diet

because there's a lot of diets that fit in the same pattern.

So, there's a super low-fat vegan diet that's an Ornish diet, a McDougall diet, a Grieger diet, a Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine diet, and sort of along the low-carb lines there's Atkins and Paleo and Zone.

So, some of them sort of collapse into categories.

So, we picked 10 categories of diets We tried to align them to the Mediterranean diet, and the winners were Mediterranean, DASH, pescatarian, vegetarian, higher-fat vegan.

Technically legumes, but Americans don't really know what legumes are.

So let's just say beans, peas, and lentils for now.

So right up there in the agreement consensus line, except for Atkins and Carnivore and Paleo maybe.

would be beans or legumes.

What was it?

Paleo, keto, you know, the zone diet.

I started my nutrition coaching, come out of football into CrossFit.

And I had people on like, 75 grams of carbs, they would come to me and be like, Liam, what can I do to improve my performance? I'm like, there's a simple fix here.

So here's one from a listener.

Paleo worked great for me.

But my sister tried it and got almost no results.

Why can the same diet work so differently for two people?

What was his name? I forgot his name.

There's so many popular diets, and now it's the Keto, it's the Paleo, you know.

But to me, it's like it's very important.

One of the things that we're missing in our diet, which is really basic to prevent, what do you call it, chronic inflammation, which is at the birth of many diseases, we need to get fiber into our diet.

Here are the smoke points.

Paleo's what taught all of this.

Here are the healthy fats.

Here are the healthy fruits.

Number three on the list of the top six existing diets with more masculine names.

Paleo.

Yeah.

We call it caveman mode.

Mm-hmm.

And it was really weird, because it was sold as Paleo.

That's like, not the brand, but it's like...

That's one of those...

That was one of those trendy diets, right? The Paleo diet? Yes.

Do you remember...

Or know off the top of your head, like, what makes it paleo? Okay, because I know it's always different.

It seems every couple of years there's a new weight loss trend that sweeps the nation.

Atkins, South Beach, Paleo, and of course, taking Ozempic while swearing that you're not taking Ozempic.

I've just been walking more.

Straight into a needle! But these days, it's not about what you're taking out of your diet.

So I'm like, if I believe that God created the world and gave us all this food and then referred to himself as the bread of life and all of these things, I'm like, wait a minute, this is inconsistent with your worldview.

Paleo is inconsistent with my worldview.

And I can recognize that what we have done as a culture and as a society is to grains and the way that we treat grains and use grains in our society is maybe not what was happening biblically and maybe not you know what our bodies were created to consume I can recognize that but I can also recognize that like almond flour is a lot of almonds and that's probably not it either right right um so you know there was a lot of kind of soul searching that was happening at that at that point so that was probably trying to think of timeline here that was probably like nine years ago at this point um and figuring out okay so how does this how does food and my worldview how do they work together

um
