It’s getting worrying that there is an apologetic undertone when people talk about eating animal proteins.

I love the Paleo diet. Please consider adding African food to the carbohydrates like bololo, Amala, fufu and garri. It is from yams and cassava

I do paleo, I also don't eat processed sugar. So when she mentioned maple syrup, not something I would normally eat. I do allow myself to have a cheat on Sundays. However, I don't usually take myself up on it. It's become more of a special occasion thing. When I do have a cheat, my favorite thing is ice cream.

Humans used to eat dough pastes, grains mixed in milk or water. Then they started baking it on hot stones and made flat bread.

They always forget to stress that every person is very different, what works for one may be a disaster for another. Start with optimal nutrition - meat and animal fat, then add the survival foods gradually

The paleo diet is common sense to suggest that we need burgers and soda for optimum health is comical

They cannot have eaten grains - which by definition did not exist until agriculture bred them. Or they were not hunter gatherers - this makes no sense. It is possible that the ancestor plants, like wild grass seeds may have made up a small proportion of their diet. But we know these plants are a tiny carb content next to the modern varieties.

There is no way primitive man subsisted on these to any large degree, because they do not provide enough calories, as either fat or carb to live on.

The whole premise makes no scientific sense from an archaeological point of view.

Otherwise she is talking about post agriculture. Not Paleo ancestors referred to on the diet.

No paleo video mentioned honey as a sweetner yet. Surely paleo man ate raw honey ?

[beegum]

I always hear people on Paleo say they eat "Paleo + Oatmeal for breakfast", lol. In fact, whereas I've heard that... I don't think I've heard any Paleos recently that are not eating oatmeal for breakfast, lol.

Losing weight very fast after starting paleo diets is an indication that you need to watch your body closely .

[iJackson]

Some grains we eat are gmo and not always what our ancestors ate.

Also the maple syrup and other things you mention in this video are counter productive to weight loss.

“If a modern heart doctor could give medical advice to the iceman Ötzi — the man who was preserved as a mummy after his murder about 5, 300 years ago in the snowy Alps — it would be this: Stop eating so much fatty meat and consider taking medications that lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. [Or eat a WFPB diet!]

This advice is based on a new comprehensive look at the iceman mummy's cardiovascular health. A full-body computed tomography (CT) scan showed that Ötzi had three calcifications (hardened plaques) in his heart region, putting him at increased risk for a heart attack. “
