The Official Nut Misc Paleo Appreciation Thread

[gbullock32]

Looks like we have something in common my April 2nd brother.

Turn 24 today, myself. Still not sure what I'm doing tonight lol.


Happy birthday mane.

Happy Birthday!

[barbrox]

Happy Birthday Monkay and Jamie!

Bacon is love, bacon is life.

Amen

Do you really think our paleolithic ancestors hunted pigs and then took their meat, soaked it in sodium nitrate and nitrites and then smoked and dried it for a few weeks???? No, thats ridiculous!! They did this with t-rex meat.

They coulda! But sssshhhhhhh... Just imagine, wild boar belly sizzling over a open fire. Mmm

Time to go to Korean BBQ.

i don't think they had access to smokers, they probably had to just settle for like guanchiale

Had to google guanchiale. Hhmmmnn

I just don't know why so many people have an issue with it. Is it built on stupid principles? Yes. But just because the reasoning behind it is wrong, doesn't mean the diet itself is. If someone says the Earth revolves around the Sun, because it's tied to it by a string, obviously they're going to sound stupid, but they'll still be right in that the Earth does revolve around the Sun. It's the same here. A paleo diet is still very healthy regardless of why someone does it.

Terrible analogy. A better analogy would be that the earth revolves around the sun because its tied to it with a string. You will also need your own piece of string too so you don't float away. But not just any string! You'll have to use this special string made from ancient solar particles, only available on my website, with auto-renewal monthly for only $89.99 per month per piece. Make sure you don't have any nylon string in your pockets or it will cancel the effect.

I don't think the issue is with the diet itself as it seems the issue is with the followers of the diet. As is the case with about any extreme diet, workout style, religion, political stance. You're always going to have people that think they're just better because they choose this lifestyle.

Yeah, I get that, but I don't think everyone is so vocal about being paleo. I remember a number of threads here where people said they wanted to go paleo and asked for advice, and got immediately shut down even though they weren't pushing that on anyone. They just had a couple of questions.

On the other hand, I met some girl at the gym a while back, and I learned she was paleo first time talking to her. She recommended the book Grain Brain. Fun times.

The people in this forum will shoot you down for anything. Got to the nut main and it seems everybody is the only one that's right.

The best thing to do is remember it's just a bunch of people on an internet forum, and do whatever you want.

i think the big problem with the forums is how things resonate and amplify. even advocating common sense is tough to do sometimes. i'm sure i'm guilty of it too, when i take the time to post more often.

the problem i have with paleo is 2 big things:

1) you're cutting out a large portion of foods that maybe very healthy or convenient or tasty for people for no reason other than to fit a diet into a definition. if you want to try keto, great. if you want to avoid overly processed foods, even better. non-gmo? sure. but to limit them all because they're not Paleo isn't a smart idea. look at what happens with so many of the people trying to eat healthy and track macros: "oh the vegetables from the farmers market don't have a label so how should i track it?" we should be encouraging people to eat more variety of foods, not less. and Paleo is exclusionary.

2) the marketing

pretty much this. remember when everyone was parroting Pug all the time? new people are still parroting, it's just they're parroting more and different people.

No they won't!

What we're they doing? I'm genuinely curious, I wasn't in the Nutrition section much at the time.


Getting a little feisty up in here.

Agree on the Pequods ^^. I spent a while in Chicago last year and tried just about every place a couple times. Lou Malnatis was ok, but Pequods was amazing.

Yeah, like I said, I'm not a fan of cutting things out just to mimic what people in the Stone Age supposedly did. It's stupid, there's no two ways about it. But the end result, which is eating a diet built on meat, fish, fruits and vegetables is in my opinion not stupid at all. Even though I eat grains and dairy, I don't think they're necessary at all, and I could be just as healthy by not eating them. I don't think anything too important is cut out in the paleo diet. But I do agree that you're cutting out tasty foods for no good reason. Which is wrong, but the diet itself is still sensible. So what I'm saying is that trying to go paleo doesn't make sense, but eating like that does, if you get what I mean.

Can you elaborate on 2), though? I have really never seen much talk about this, and it always seemed to me people complain about it more than they're pushing it.

Where did he go, by the way? But yeah, he was the epitome of "it doesn't matter".

Pug was an interesting character. lots of information, just sort of peculiar in the way he presented it. a lot of the new guys really got behind him (probably for the reps?). big fan of keto.

Getting a little feisty up in here.

everyone's cutting

yeah so these two points kind of go hand in hand. whether or not something is "Paleo" shouldn't be the reason you eat or don't eat it. at the core of it; there's an idea that you eat less processed foods, which immediately cuts out most of the junk food that paleo limits. the problem is that the way Paleo is pushed cuts out a lot perfectly reasonable foods (beans is a great example).

so eating sensibly and avoiding junk food is a great idea, but there's no good word or phrase to promote that (warrior diet, mediteranean diet, atkins, paleo, vegan, etc).

the problem with Paleo and marketing is that people go from the kernel of a good idea of paleo (eat less junk food) and find ways to eat more junk food. look at this list when you go to google shopping and type in "Paleo Approved" https://www.google.com/search?q=pale...aleo+approved+

so if you're going to go buy bagged junk food, bread, protein powder, mayonnaise, vinaigrette, and beef jerky, but avoid milk, beans, lots of fruit and some vegetables, but say you're Paleo and trying to eat healthy, i have a big problem with that.

Where did he go, by the way? But yeah, he was the epitome of "it doesn't matter".

he came back to answer a few questions a few months ago and i think i saw that he was active in the X thread, but other than that i dunno.

wtf spears? **** that bones or rocks is the only choice.

[desslok]

You're confusing paleo with neanderthal you homo erectus.

[jdrush]

You're confusing paleo with neanderthal you homo erectus.

Homo Erectus was around for a million years. I'll take my odds with that.

Fight for a Vegemite sandwich? Never

It's in Auburn, CA. It's the North Fork of the American River.

No, definitely not 100%, but feeling great. The hike was only 4 miles.

[desslok]

Homo Erectus was around for a million years. I'll take my odds with that.

LMAO, nice try. Earth has only been around a few thousand years. Thata why its literally impossible to be a Christian paleo follower.

[desslok]

Nice try, we've all seen Sound of Music and know where you stole that pic from.
