Paleo diet could make you gain weight, new scientific research shows

My wife and I have been paleo for 9 months and it has made a big difference. I have lost 10 kgs and feel like I have a lot more energy. 

The downside of paleo is that it takes a lot of prep time. Cutting sugar out of your diet means you need to prepare most meals from scatch. 

We start the day with a green smoothie. Usually have a salad & protein for lunch and we have a lot of slow cooked meals with roast veggies for dinner.  

The usual stables are still good in a paleo version ie spag bowl with zucchini noddles. Lasagna using eggplant & mushrooms with cauliflower cheese.

    All diets get rubbished soon or later. I bet you someone is trying to get a Phd out of disproving the Paleo diet. Drinking too much water a zero calorie substance has been known to kill people,why not rubbish water.I don't drink the stuff only RED WINE especially the O.P brand ( other people's). If the Dees are crap let's blame the Paleo diet.

    The thing about these style of eating is it requires the ability to cook, not just assemble !! My wife's not fussed as I do %99 of the cooking lol.

    I'm genuinely impressed by those that understand what they eat :)

    I really hope you mean "staples" and that you haven't been eating horse meat as part of your diet.

    I have eaten horse meat in Bavaria. It tasted like a deep deep red corned beef to me. Quite nice.

    very interesting it's time. can you give us an idea of what you eat (and what you avoid)?

    The first step was switching from cereal for breakfast to a protein shake consisting ofmeitherna banana or some berries such as strawberries and blueberries with some protein powder, coconut water maybe a raw egg and a super foods powder supplement. Delicious and I don't get as hungry mid morning as I used to with cereal. 

    Lunch I either have a salad with some tinned tuna or some type of grilled meat or fish. I have to say cutting carbs out at lunch made the biggest difference. I always suffered a mid afternoon energy lag where I'd almost feel like I needed a sleep. That's gone. 

    Dinner I eat plenty of chicken, red meat at least once a week, usually grilled I the barbie.  I used to not eat much red meat. In keeping with PaleomI avoid potatoes, legumes, peas and beans. 

    I was never a big bread eater so it wasn't a big deal to cut it out. I love rice so it was a bit more challenging to cut it out. 

    My theory is if I make it too hard it won't be sustainable for me. So I'm not strict about it. I have some dairy like milk. I still have the occasional beer and wine. 

    The theory of these diets is that sugar is the problem. If you cut it out and the foods that turn into it after digestion out of your diet all the good things follow. Certainly seems to be working for me. 

    The other really interesting theory to it is that if you don't have sugar in your body it turns to fat as a source of energy. We have 10 times more energy reserves from fat than sugar. So much better for endurance for exercise. Also has the benefit that your body eats your fat reserves much more than before while at the same time reducing the fat created by sugar. 

    All I can say is that last summer I smashed most of my PB's on the bike and I'm now in my mid 50's. Some of those times have sat around for more than 10 years. I'm not a competition rider,or anything I just ride for fitness but we go pretty hard for us and I was stocked at the difference. 

    If you are really interested there is a book written by Rob Wolf called The Paleo Solution. It explains the science behind it in great detail. It's been around a lot longer than people think.

    I've lost 11 kgs by reducing bread, pasta , spuds and rice.

    no effort at all. 

    I wish someone told me earlier that carbs become fat before they are burned by the metabolism.

    Don't eat white food.

    No corn grits though Steve. Okra and collard greens are fine.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
