Paleo diet

[Monica]

My reason for trying this diet is mostly for physical aesthetics. I'm in to regular running and don't have very much body fat, but nevertheless have a little bit left that won't seem to go regardless of how many miles I pile on. I recently started a heavy weight lifting routine

There are many ways to accomplish that. Here is another one:

The premise behind this diet is that it is theoretically the best possible diet humans can have (for optimal health) given that it is in line with what humans have evolved around (have been eating for many tens of thousands of years).

This diet makes no sense to me, from a spiritual perspective. It doesn't take into consideration that we are evolving now, and that our DNA may be rapidly changing due to the transition to 4D.

It seems to me that the diet is looking backwards! It makes much more sense to me to reach forward to what we know about the diet in 4D, than to go back to the diet of early 3D.

Also- it is possible that our "space" friends instructed us to sprout the grains before eating them, and "somebody" came by later and selectively edited this from the historical record.

:idea:

What I -don't- like about the Paleo Diet is the overemphasis on animal products...The problem is, any time meatheads take hold of a dietary philosophy it tends to become oversimplified and sort of a cartoon-character version of itself.

Agreed. I wonder about the psychological and spiritual implications of using such a diet as a justification for heavy meat consumption, something that, as a society, we must move away from if we want our planet to continue to sustain our population.

As a side note, since Atkins was mentioned: I've been a vegetarian for 30 years, except for a 2-year period about 15 years ago, when I returned to eating meat in a desperate effort to address some elusive health problems. (It didn't help at all.) During that time, I actually tried Atkins for about 3 weeks. :exclamation:

I lost a few pounds, but got a sudden, severe case of arthritis, became constipated, and got hemorrhoids!!!

It was horrid, just horrid! I've never ever had hemorrhoids in my life, before or after!
