grains provide absolutely nothing you can't get from more nutrient-dense foods. why do you keep chiming in with your caloric intake nonsense when no one is even talking about weight loss? you're not very smart.

Are we talking about health? Are we talking about the Japanese with their average life expectancy of 83 years? Those noodle munching rice chugging carb fuckers!

You go tell them to eat less grains, k?

look at the traditional japanese diet as a whole instead of dissecting its constituent parts. vegetables and animal fats are a staple of the diet with rice used as a cheap, innocuous source of glucose. you'll see the japanese life expectancy decline as more people adopt a westernized fast food diet. furthermore, i never said all grains are bad. i said they're unnecessary and shouldn't form the bulk of someone's diet.

If Paleo works for you, I couldn't be happier, but stop peddling the shit like you are a Jehovah's Witness. You are preaching to a forum of video game nerds, how much success do you really think you are going to have? For every 1 person who is a member on this site there are 9 who have never exercised a day in their life. 23 pages of nonsense.

The OP is deliberately written to make it clear that not only am I not preaching, but I'm skeptical of the whole thing myself. I'm just trying it. So the whole preaching thing is bullshit. I have this up at another site based on gaming and I've gotten good responses from people who have done this and had success.

So maybe the people here just spent that much time camping Quillmane or Raster and hate everything in perpetuity , or maybe they're fat asses who want to think they've got the answers and it's out of their hands, or still 19 and can eat everything without gaining weight. No idea. So dont read it if you're not interested. Nutrition is like politics or religion, everyone gets emotional for some reason.

I love that you keep talking about "health" but are pushing the paleo diet.

I actually completely agree with the bulk of what's in this thread, which is eating home cooked meals and avoiding processed shitty food.


Sadly, I think dietary advice will always be in a state of flux. Between the dissemination of bad information and the fact that many dietary studies are lower quality, trends, etc, it may take a while yet to figure things out.

So you're either literally posting the majority of the time with your mouth hanging open and drooling all over the keyboard ... interspersed with brief moments of lucidity, or have some split personality disorder.

People get emotional because you are a complete Paleo shill and act like you aren't. You clearly have a preference.

That's not true! He's not only neutral, but skeptical of it himself! Honest and for true!

He most definitely ISN'T shilling the fuck out of it and raging at anyone who dares question a radical diet that has basically no scientific support for it and may in fact be extremely harmful based on what actual science DOES exist.

Yeah, you're losing an argument badly to fucking Aychamo. You don't get to pretend you're intellectually superior to anybody else, tough guy.

Actually on topic:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...5e7_story.html

More anecdotal evidence that rice is fine and "home cooked" is the way to go. Also underscoring how big our problem is in the US. Now I have to look into this Michelle Obama thing, is she really pushing calorie restriction?

article_sl said:
In the United States, where obesity rates have tripled over the past three decades, new legislation championed by Michelle Obama has pushed schools to debut menus with controversial calorie restrictions. But even the healthiest choices are generally provided by large agri-food companies, cooked off site, frozen and then reheated, and forced to compete in cafeterias with all things fried, salty and sweet.
