Paleo diet can help you lose fat TWICE as fast - how does it work?

THE PALEO diet has been shown by several studies to aid weight loss. The diet focuses on eating hunter gatherer inspired meals to lose weight. How does it work? What paleo recipes are there?

The Paleo diet is named after the Palaeolithic era, as it is inspired by the diet of early man. Proponents of the diet eschew foods made abundant by agriculture, such as bread. A number of studies have shown that the diet an contribute to weight loss. In fact, it may help diets to shed fat faster than other weight loss diets.

No Idea because this article mentions two studies but does not identify them. When is The Express going out of business?

They said: “The idea that you only eat what your ancestors did is fundamentally flawed. If you fail to look into your genealogy for thousands of years, how do you know if they were in a region where avocados even grew?


Unless you have some Native Central or South American ancestry, the question doesn't really come up. Most Mexicans have native mitochondria, so that's a clue.

But are avocados a particularly suspect food? If you're concerned about things like lectins and nightshades, then maybe all plants are suspect. But the highest level of suspicion for problems with the modern diet, for most people, I'd suggest lies with excessive grain, sugars, and possible corn oil, foods that are both starchy and fatty, etc. Add a bunch of sugary fruit to the traditional Inuit diet, and that's a more obvious challenge to a metabolism that's adapted to a largely protein and fat diet than avocadoes or macadamia nuts would be.

There's eating what your ancestors ate, then there's eating what somebody's ancestors successfully ate, instead of a modern diet that most people do poorly on.

That's really true Teaser, I've thought of that before. My ancestors ate non of those tropical things.
