And now for another installment of ask Dr. Hale.
Q: What is this paleo diet I keep hearing about?
A: The paleo diet is an exciting old diet that has recently been making a comeback. But Dr. Hale is here to tell you that most people are doing it wrong. What can you expect of the masses right? Here is a definition from Wikipedia:
“The modern dietary regimen known as the Paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet orpaleodiet), also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various human species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic—a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture. In common usage, such terms as the “Paleolithic diet” also refer to the actual ancestral human diet.”
So this amazing diet consists of eating like a caveman. Most people who pick up this diet instead just eat like picky cheerleaders, continuing to eat in restaurants and buy food at grocery stores. To get the full benefit of this diet you must eat like a caveman. Let me repeat that for those of you who are slow, EAT LIKE A CAVEMAN. To make this work you are going to need to strip naked and go into the wilderness emptyhanded. You can eat anything that modern society has not tainted with its agriculture and tools and domestication and sanitation. Here is a breakdown to make it easier for you.
Can I eat potatoe chips? No. Eat buffalo chips instead.
Can I eat insects I find under rocks in the woods behind my house? It depends is that a landscaping rock or an honest rock?
Can I eat broccoli? No, broccoli was domesticated from wild lettucy things since humans have had fire.
Can I eat Chicken eggs? Do you live in Indo-China were chickens are indigenous? Then no, eat some wild duck eggs.
Can I eat a half rotten squirrel carcass that I found on a river bank? Of course.
Can I eat bacon? Yes, this is a diet not torture.
So remember, naked, no tools, no restaurants, no stores, no dumpster diving, no fire. Eat according to these rules and the paleo diet will live up to all the hype of making you lose weight faster than any other diet. If you have any doubts just look at a picture of Turok, Dinosaur Hunter.
