^ Yeah, but it's dishonest to imply that it's a *paleo* meal. It also could be an Atkins meal, a Mediterranean diet meal, or any basic healthy diet meal.

said no one seriously ever.

The big issue of this thread is whether adding a side of
brown-rice-edited.jpg

Would make it a more or less healthy meal, or if it doesn't matter.

I've seen no hard proof or convincing argument either way for rice. More evidence that it's fine (all of Asia) than particularly bad (kind of high GI, not much in the way of nutrition).

For me I've decided rice is fine in moderation and I personally wouldn't stress over eating it. In terms of Paleo, Primal and other "paleo like" diets saying it's ok in moderation if not especially healthy. Hardcore people would say no I guess. I also know a few people who eat it regularly and are lean and strong so that probably colors my opinion. When you do a high volume of exercise I think you'd have to eat things like rice and potatoes if you were on this type of diet.

There are the ever present studies of course, but the same "associated" crap with all the variables not accounted for etc (e.g.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22422870)

That said when I do cut I will avoid it. For day to day maintenance no big deal.

potatoes and other tubers are staples of the paleo diet. the sweet potato is one of the most nutritious foods on earth.

one of my favorite meals is garlic roasted lamb and a sweet potato with two over easy eggs on top

An article from the NYT in 1998 on the garbage then:

Ideas & Trends: Feeding Frenzy; It's Good. No, It's Bad. No, It's Good. Really. I Think.
By DENISE GRADY
Published: March 22, 1998

THERE'S an old saw about the weather that might apply just as well to new information about healthy living: If you don't like it, wait a minute.

Advice to the public about what to eat, what medicines to take and, basically, how to live, seems to do an about-face every time a new study is published in a medical journal.

FEN-PHEN: Finally, a prescription drug combination that really seemed to help people lose weight -- and it turns out to be damaging to the heart.

OLESTRA: This highly touted fat substitute, promising tasty potato chips with no fat and few calories, could be a deal with the devil, because it leaches important nutrients out of the body (even in people who don't get diarrhea from eating it).

MARGARINE: Margarine has long been thought to contain a safer type of fat than butter, but it turns out to be just as bad for arteries.

And one from today, saying hey maybe 1 egg a day wont kill you... BUT NOT THREE!

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/0...mid=tw-nytimes

NYT_sl said:
The review suggests that for most people, eating one egg a day is not bad for the heart.

...

A co-author of the study, Dr. Frank B. Hu, a professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard, said that eating two or three or more eggs a day might be harmful, in theory, although there are no data on that.

This is what following nutrition is like. It's a series of idiotic contradiction and guessing.

You had me up until the two eggs part, at which point I chugged a bottle of lipitor in proxy for you.

Cavemen didn't have access to tomatoes or broccoli, try again!

Nor the pepper. And I suspect salt might have been in short supply too. Gotta go 100% authentic, bro.

I read the OP and he never insinuated that. You're the onse attributing this strangely dogmatic and pseudo religious fervor to the plan he posted.

eggs don't raise blood cholesterol and are pretty fucking good for you

"blood cholesterol" - WOW, spoken like a true "biochemist/lipid researcher." Hint, I'm not even arguing about eggs and their effects on serum lipid profiles. Man, you arefucking clueless. Sorry, but your failure of terminology there has forever invalidated every criticism and comment youevermake regarding anything diet or health related in the future. You're a fucking retard. Haha, man, I have never seen anybody continuously toss themselves under the bus and expose themselves as a moron as much as you. Do not even bother replying. You may as well make a new username and post as that. Bwhahahah!

(I'm taking a shit, and as I look in the toilet I see lumps that are smarter than you!)

I eat a lot of eggs and recently my cholesterol was pretty much perfect. If the internet has taught me anything, it is that this is all of the research needed.
