#2I submitted this because I have no idea what to make of it and no real idea if it is credible. I am so tired of adapting to what is "good" only to have that change. So my oatmeal breakfast is bad now and I should go back to bacon and eggs? sigh. Has anyone tried this paleo business, and to what effect?
edit: and more importantly, I should have added, is there science behind it? Shame on me.

#3Do a search on the Internet and you'll find more arguments - from highly credentialed doctors and nutritionists along with plenty of unqualified 'diet fundamentalists' - for and against the idea that gluten is the culprit behind so many health issues. Personally, I really DO feel fine on a largely Mediterranean diet complete with plenty of bread and pasta. I'm also fit and actually underweight (according to BMI calculators). I feel great health-wise and am a positive, up-beat, happy person. So I certainly see no need to stop eating gluten. And here's what I don't get about the idea that a paleo diet is the key to a long life and overcoming the obesity crisis: why did the obesity crisis only come about in the last part of 20th century, hundreds of years after most people (in developed nations at least) had abandoned paleo diets?

It isn't credible.
The article claims that removing grains from your diet will prevent "Infertility, Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, vitiligo, narcolepsy, schizophrenia, autism, depression, huntington's, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, hypothyrodism, and porphyria". This would be pretty astonishing if it were true... especially given that two of these conditions (type 1 diabetes and autism) often develop before children start eating grains.
Astonishing claims require astonishing evidence -- and the article provides absolutely no evidence at all.

What I was more wondering if there is credible info elsewhere, like the book (I've never read it). Agreed the claims seem far fetched.

Grains are a staple in most baby formulas.

I have tried paleo, lacto-paleo, low-carb, and some variants in between. Not because I put any great stock in them, but because I wanted to observe their effects on my body.
In all cases, I did lose weight (I am not anywhere near overweight, I am actually in quite good shape, exercise regularly, and have a generally healthy diet to begin with). I understand this to be normal, especially in males, to lose weight fairly quickly, and then plateau out. Women experience mixed results, but it's generally a slower process for them to begin seeing a difference.
From a health perspective, I honestly cannot put any stock into this article or any other proponents of these diets. The claims made in this article border on irresponsible, to the point where it sounds so much like any other miracle diet.
There is NO way anyone should undertake any major change to their diet without good reasoning, and consulting a physician or qualified nutritionist.
Your gym trainer is not a qualified source. Neither is a random website.
Bodies are too unique to fall into some one-size-fits-all diet scheme for anyone.

#8Here's the problem with diet studies in general - they take ages to pan out. Because of that, there's varying degrees of belief in whether or not something is correct or incorrect, and even in cases where some breakthrough has been made, it takes ages to determine whether or not the choice was a correct one or not.
This is the same reason why certain food products sales largely come down to packaging - how can I really know the effect a protein supplement is making on my muscle growth due to the many other HUGE factors that come into play? Could I have done better without it? Same with insurance plans, investments, etc - at the end of the day many of these products end up getting bought and sold due more to the marketing savvy of their business departments more than the efficacy of the products themselves.
I'm slightly ranting but I think, food wise, the best way to judge whether or not something is good for you is quite simply, how it makes you feel immediately afterwards. If I eat too many carbs, I feel like crap. If I eat a Carl's Jr burger, I feel like crap. If I eat lean meat and fruits, I feel great. If I go overboard, I can hardly feel it. If I drink soda, I feel like crap. And so it goes.
I really think it's that simple - don't pollute your head with varying degrees of this stuff - if it makes you feel good, and that feeling STAYS even if you don't eat/drink it (see: withdrawals) it's probably damn good for you and you should keep consuming it. Similarly, reverse the points to decide what you SHOULDN'T be consuming.

It's nonsensical faddish bullshit.
Some (So maybe Mr Ferris has this problem. That doesn't mean that everyone else does, though this isn't the first time I've seen someone with a digestive condition go on a crusade about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease

I suggest you listen to your own body instead of attention-seeking pundits. We all need some mix of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, lipids and vitamins. too much or too little of any one thing is unhealthy; moderate exercise is good, moderate alcohol consumption is OK, smoking is quite unhealthy; you should check your blood pressure every so often. Obviously if you only crave one kind of food or some food that doesn't exist in nature something is a bit out of whack, but otherwise you should eat whatever gives you sufficient energy and trouble-free digestion.
Blog posts like this are the mental equivalent of 'magic dietary supplements'; a masculinized hipster version of those vapid magazines at the checkout stand. 'Blank: the silent killer in your refrigerator'; 'The seven blanks every man/woman/parent/ needs to know'; 'what your [professional] won't tell you (so give me your money instead'; 'Blank: the new rules'....zzzzz. 90% of health and lifestyle articles are for people who can't or won't read science news. Get yourself a first-year nursing textbook on nutrition instead.

#10Call me crazy but the book linked at the end of the article was published September 14th and there are already 40 five star reviews posted. Which given the idea that it's 'diet' lifestyle change would mean time would be needed to actually see if the content pans out. I start feeling iffy any time another 'this food is bad' book comes along and with those reviews, that puts it into the questionable category.
