I've been doing a lot of straying and I know what to eat to feel optimal :) Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986748977967854776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-18698769483053630562013-03-26T13:53:52.724-04:002013-03-26T13:53:52.724-04:00Checking out the articles now. :-)Checking out the articles now. :-)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287354874478649309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-44971593315185360242013-03-26T11:15:18.834-04:002013-03-26T11:15:18.834-04:00One thing I do believe: humans are biologically om...One thing I do believe: humans are biologically omnivores. We need plant food and animal food to thrive. In order to be healthy as a vegan you have to be SUPER diligent, perhaps even working with a nutritionist to get the right amount of protein in and not to rely on bread-products to feel full. Very few people are successful veganists (they turn out more like carb-itarians!).<br /><br />Eating paleo-style is very healthy, I believe... If, *IF*, people are educated and smart about their choices. Protein should come from LEAN protein sources (like poultry and pork) and limit red meats to once a week or so. Eating paleo is not an excuse to go wild on meat, but to learn to incorporate veggies, fruits and nuts as a main source of energy and nutrients.<br /><br />Another note: I also get meat that is not full of antibiotics and growth hormones. I buy local and grass fed/finished meats that are ethically raised and slaughtered... I feel it is the only responsible and healthy way to eat meat.Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932197714895328100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-15063422972302232812013-03-26T10:58:50.924-04:002013-03-26T10:58:50.924-04:00I agree with what you've said all the way.

I'm hoping to find more scientific evidence that this "paleo" way of eating is more beneficial than a vegan diet that excludes all processed foods for reducing cardiovascular disease and diabetes (cancer would be great, also.) There really are alot of studies that show effects of the vegan diet on reversal of these diseases. But for me, it is so hard to stay vegan. I'm starving and bloated all the time. I feel so much better eating "paleo" and only hope my arteries will remain clean. Your thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
