Paleo/Primal

myszak

Anyone here interested in Paleo? I have seen some older threads which died out.
I chose to be Paleo just over a month ago and am fascinated with the topic itself. Are there any Paleo groups, communities that you know of? Would be great to start sharing experiences.

There used to be a lot of people into paleo but they all died before 30.

eventually most people realised there's not really any such thing as a 'paleolithic diet' and the whole thing is a bit bollocks really

it tended to attract people who ate like **** before they discovered paleo, so when they felt better from just switching to meat and vegetables while ditching all their biscuits, fast foods and ice creams.. they attributed it to paleo instead of just eating better generally

Yeah...i was very sceptical myself. I ate quite healthy. At least i thought so. I used to eat lots of veg and fruit but also had bread (chose wholemeal or rye) pasta...of course i had biscuits too. So when i gave up gluten it did help me a lot! I feel better and lighter. I would argue about some strict paleo rules (no diary...) but i guess this works for me. That's why i really want to hear other opinion and contra-argument
