Jake,

It would be helpful to have a sample meal plan or rough idea on paleo types of foods to look for in the grocery store. Any links you can put up for us? I know Brando sent me an article with Zone blocks and sample diets that helped alot. Now if I can just find it again…

That diet has been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer. Albeit, the study was done with postmenopausal Chinese women in Shanghai (I don’t think you fit into any of those categories, Kat), but still.

If it looks and sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Does eating babies count as paleo?

Seriously, some other interesting facts about diet…

http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/info/ketogenic.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_disease

More and more research relating specific diets (specifically paleo type) to chronic medical conditions BESIDES the typical diabetes/heart disease/other vascular disease are coming out all the time. Some interesting research include:

Ketogenic (high protein, high fat, low carb) diets have been shown to help prevent seizures

Celiac disease is an autoimmune reaction to wheat (ie starches). The classic disease is rare, however, ‘atypical’ presentations (actually the norm) involves simple vitamin/iron deficiencies, causing fatigue, restlessness, decreased cognitive fxning, even depression. several eurpoean studies placing young adults on gluten free diets showed significant improvement in the above.

Finally, our ‘western world diet’ is also associated with other autoimmune diseases , possibly Chron’s or Ulcerative colitis.

Just food for thought….hahah i made a funny!
