That is ... what foods ...Binko is on to something. That is ... what foods do you actually eat in a particular diet? And how realistic is it for average people to eat those foods?<br /><br />I think it's hard to eat lots of plant-based unprocessed foods. I spend a lot of time buying, cleaning, storing, preparing, cooking. And cost ... one big onion cost me $1.50 last week, 50% more than anything on McDonald's Dollar menu. <br /><br />I also think it's hard to eat a lot of animal foods in a healthy way for the reasons Binko stated.<br /><br />And there's the person-centered issue ... Does Dr. Eades advise eating meat 2 or 3 times a day if, say, you have colon cancer? Colon resection? Microalbumnuria or other kidney problem? I don't know, maybe he does. I think it's difficult to apply one diet to all conditions and all circumstances. <br /><br />On the other side of the coin, telling someone with diabetes to eat a high-carb diet often translates into them eating a lot of refined breads, biscuits, cereals, chips, cheap oils, packaged and prepared foods, which, as I've seen, makes managing their blood glucose difficult.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-79940021536788130012011-05-15T14:36:04.934-04:002011-05-15T14:36:04.934-04:00That would only be interesting, but not very infor...That would only be interesting, but not very informative. Far too few data points.<br /><br />If you did the same thing with a cross-section of their patients, that might tell you more. But it will still only tell you the kind of patients that seek them out, not the results of following their advice.Charles R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09139496312163674161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-81250721837514606832011-05-15T14:33:15.384-04:002011-05-15T14:33:15.384-04:00I've been paleo and I've been vegan. Vegan...I've been paleo and I've been vegan. Vegan sometimes leaves me feeling deprived but paleo always ends up making me feel ill. <br /><br />Paleo aristocrats like the wealthy Dr. Eades can afford to have special hogs raised on private farms and fed the choicest of natural feed.<br /><br />But the average Joe who embraces the Paleo lifestyle will be buying packaged meat at the supermarket that has been gassed to stay red even when old and half putrid and is full of hormones, antibiotics and the residue of thousands of industrial chemicals from the nasty concoctions fed to feedlot animals. <br /><br />This is something that is rarely discussed in Paleo circles.Binkohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17603859397974962121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472697.post-20665101547708600582011-05-14T16:05:14.022-04:002011-05-14T16:05:14.022-04:00I don't know where the comments went.
