no things that take other things like cheese (rennet), just essentially out of the ground/off the tree/slaughtered from paddock to plate food.
- Godel_unicode 6y agoYou're describing paleo (as in paleolithic), it's benefits are still a matter of debate: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/paleo-diet/art-20111182 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-h...
- senectus1 6y agoseems close to it yes. but allowing a variety of oils seems a bit cheeky.. then banning things like potatoes seems to be quite counter to the "paleo" concept. They seem to be more interested in carbs based diet than foraged or simple farm to plate food.
- rebuilder 6y agoAny diet that rules out whole classes of food will have weight loss effects. You won't be able to eat a lot of things, and will be thinking more about what you do eat and why.
- switch007 6y agoI did keto for a while. I didn’t care much for the science behind it, I just happened to like the food groups and it made me be hyper vigilant about tracking macros and counting calories. It worked!
- psandersen 6y agoThere is the "whole food plant based" diet, see Dr Greger's "How Not to Die" and "daily dozen". I found it compelling and switched, feeling healthier and lost around 20kg in 6 months without thinking about calories.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoProbably not. Even the simplest foods are things we've radically changed from 'nature'. The Paleo diet is nonsense from a historical point of view.
