Today we had an interesting conversation with Dr. Loren Cordain author of The Paleo Diet. He was a fascinating man who taught us a lot about what the Paleo diet is and what the paleo diet isn’t.

Sometimes all you need from shows like these is 1 nugget of truth.

One of the main things I got from this interview with Dr. Loren Cordain was the fact that the entire idea of the Paleo diet is to “mimic” as closely as possible what ancient man ate.

Lots of people who are into the raw vegan diet or the vegetarian diet criticism the Paleo Diet because it’s not 100% paleolithic.

What do I mean by that?

Well people will object to The Paleo Diet by saying that man never would have eaten cows because the genetic ancestor of the cow (the orox) is now extinct. Or many of the fruits and vegetables Paleo advocates eat or hybrid foods and therefore not wild.

Some other objections to The Paleo Diet are people think Paleo Diet advocates don’t hunt for their food or they do many things in their daily lives that our ancestors wouldn’t have.

And these are legitimate complaint but what Dr. Loren Cordain said on the show was to get the processed junk food out of your diet, eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, meats, eggs and animal products. Lower sugars in your diet as much as possible and at least you’re close.

There’s no way to recapture that kind of life our ancestors had, it’s simply impossible. But trying our best to eat whole, fresh food (some of it uncooked and raw if possible) is what the Paleo Diet is all about.

I feel like vegetarians or raw food vegans hold Paleo diet advocates to such a high standard it’s impossible to live up to. What I got from Dr. Cordain was just try to eat better. Don’t buy junk food with 5,000 ingredients. Shop in the outer parts of the grocery stores.

I think we can all be in agreement that eliminating junk food from your diet is a HUGE step in the right direction. Now figuring out what to replace them with is the next step of your journey to health and wellness.

I think we can all stand to be less judgmental when it comes to diet and nutrition. People have a right to live their own lives and eat the food they want to eat, even if we think it’s harmful to them.

So listen to this interview with Dr. Loren Cordain and please comment below. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Please pass this show on to the family and friends you love…

We discuss the following and so much more:

The top inflammatory foods (Sugar, wheat, corn, soy, dairy)
Why processed food is so bad for the body
Why grains are so harmful to your tissues, organs and blood
The importance of lowering sugar and insulin levels in the body
If grass fed meat/beef is necessary if you don’t have the money to buy it

And so much more!
