I wouldn't classify as a trick per se but a awareness that manufacturers tend to pack processed foods with a lot more addictive items to sell more.
For example, a lot of food has added sugar under many different names. This was to add "taste" when everything went to "non" or "low" fat.
I see Paleo and its ilk to be a pull back from the processed food direction.
- delecti 10y agoThere's nothing special about Paleo except that for some people it's easier to restrict total calories by cutting out the things that Paleo cuts out. By that logic, I consider Paleo to be a trick. Not in the dishonest "deceive" sense, but rather in the card trick sense, or the "one neat trick" life-hack sense.
