Common Questions and Answers about Paleo diet vs vegetarianism

diet

Avatar f tn t sweat the vegetarianism, but avoid the dairy -- while I have no problem with you eating any way you like, dairy is far more difficult on most people than many animals we consume. As I say, everyone gets to eat the way they want, but for health's sake, research dairy, but if this is just for ideology, go for it any way you believe in.
738075 tn?1330575844 t see any results) Interestingly all of the different diets the recovery diet, paleo diet and swank diet claim to make a huge difference but what is or is not allowed on the diets vary. Some allow red meat (grass fed) but limited carbs and others allow no red meat. So I started thinking, they all in my mind have shown some improvement for the people following the diet. I agree I take this with a grain of salt, but I do think there is a truth to diet affecting MS.
572651 tn?1530999357 Thanks for sharing this Lu. I enjoyed listening. No doubt we would all do better if we were more eager to consume healthy foods and less willing to rely on pharmaceutical solutions. Personally I have absolutely no doubt diet is a factor in MS. Unfortunately I have a hard time seeing myself coming anywhere close to achieving compliance with a paleo diet. I know - I defeat myself. I've had success controlling some of my symptoms with supplements.
1267460 tn?1270259192 Has anyone tried the Paleo Diet? I have ordered the book and will start it as soon as it arrives. It is based on removing processed food from the diet and increasing fresh fruit and grains. Leanne.
Avatar f tn A low-carb diet will give you a flat belly faster than any exercise. The paleo diet is the healthiest form of low-carb diet, IMO. I would not go on a low-carb diet that was composed of low-carb junk food. If you eat a paleo diet, you are only eating real, whole foods (no junk food) and no grains. It's a lot of meat, vegetables, and healthy fats.
707563 tn?1626361905 Paleo diet has both negative as well as positive effect on heart health & its's always better to take advice from doctor before starting a diet.
Avatar n tn If you have time to go to the gym to do weights, throw in some cardio -- something you can handle, don't start at too high a level. Paleo is fine for some people, but it isn't really one diet -- there are many forms of the so-called Paleo diet and it isn't really Paleo -- nobody ever ate this way.
Avatar f tn Everyone's situation will be different, especially if you are on insulin or other medications vs being diet controlled. I'm diet controlled (for 2 years) so I have to be very mindful of what I eat and I had to learn what foods made my sugar spike. I NEVER recommend trying to eat a certain amount of carbs, I believe we should limit them as much as possible unless your sugar dips too low. Focus on eating as many leafy green veggies as possible. Drink lots of water.
Avatar m tn Whatever, My diet which was great before is now a mix of Paleo and a just regular healthy diet with some grains and a bit of dairy. Paleo has some killer recipes and lucky for me, I love to cook. The added protein on Paleo gave me a much more steady and continuous form of energy with far less dips. Was never comfortable with sharing this info after the outburst on this forum about my wheatgrass juicing.
Avatar f tn I started the paleo diet yesterday. I need to lose weight. Has anyone tried this??
Avatar f tn I eat like Alex. Always have. For a month, I did a paleo diet, eliminating dairy, gluten eggs. It was just veg, fruit, nuts and lean meat. It did nothing to help my MS symptoms, but I noticed the elimination of dairy, gluten and eggs was much easier on my digestion. Since I've stopped such a rigorous regimen, I've slowly added these things back to my diet, and have decided FRESH dairy products just don't agree with my system.
1063764 tn?1272821064 I've been a vegetarian for the last five years, almost. There were a few points where I was vegan for months at a time. Right now I do eat eggs and some dairy occasionally but no fish. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about three years ago...but I have reason to believe that I had it long before. I remember how my body felt years ago...so I don't want to blame vegetarianism for my hypothyroidism. Getting to my point- I've had pretty bad memory loss for a few years now as well.
Avatar n tn 2 years ago i was 210 lbs, i became a vegetarian and an addict to exercies, the thing is its been 12 months that i just keep my weight , and i have became more intense on my workouts, and more strict on my diet, i take a 1200-1300 cal diet, and a 2 hour workout high impact, 80 - 90 mins of cardio and 20-30 min of weight lifting, and about 5 mins of stretching, WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
Avatar f tn I like the paleo diet. My weight loss had stalled for a long time, and now I'm losing again on the paleo diet. There's a lot of information out there about the paleo diet, nowadays. A book called The Paleo Approach is a good introduction. I also like the PaleoMom website, and she also has a book that has just come out. Nom Nom Paleo is another good source. In effect, the paleo diet is a low-carb diet, because you don't eat any grains.
Avatar f tn and it was no surprise to see omega 6 (vegetable oils are high in omega 6) and the paleo diet mentioned. The Paleo diet is a diet high in fat, mostly naturally grazed or wild from animal sources, moderate to high in animal protein and low to moderate in natural carbohydrates from vegetables and fruits. Here is an excerpt from the article... "Thankfully, one of the best ways to decrease intestinal inflammation is to eat a paleo diet!
Avatar m tn Yeah, (yawn) it's interesting...Many of us on this forum have done our own experimentation of diet as a means of fighting MS. It's not that she wasn't helped by this paleo diet (personally, I think it's great for anyone), and she may be enjoying a wonderful remission. Studies have shown paleo, or gluten free diets, or the Swank diet, really aren't effective in fighting the relapse rate or progression rate of MS.
Avatar f tn Is a paleo diet effective for ms?
Avatar n tn Anyway, when I got into my mid 20s my metabolism started to really slow down and I started gaining weight so I did a research on diets and came up with the Paleo diet. So I bought this one, it was referred by a friend of mine. http://cooklikeacaveman.com/paleo-cookbook-review/ 3 weeks later, lost 10 pounds already. It's the best thing that I have ever tried.
Avatar n tn I forgot to mention Check the following paleo Diet and the Atkins Diet. paleo http://thepaleodiet.com/ http://savingdinner.com/ Atkins https://authoritynutrition.
Avatar f tn These things are invented based on some solid principles but mostly to make money for someone. Logically, what is a paleo diet? Hunter gatherers would have eaten very differently depending on where they lived, and the notion they ate mostly animal doesn't seem to hold with most tribal cultures -- animals are far harder to catch than plant food.
4628530 tn?1369109086 ve done a lot of juicing and have changed my diet somewhat, and have been reading about anti-inflammatory foods. I learned that the paleo diet excludes many of these foods, but am not sure because of all the red meat. I'm all out of ideas, hungry, and breastfeeding. For those of you that have found some relief by changing your diet, what do your typical meals look like ( breakfast, lunch, dinner)? Any good recipes?
Avatar m tn I’ve seen Lp(a) levels respond to a switch from a standard American or not very healthy diet, to a Paleo type of diet. If you think about it, Lp(a) is there to repair damage, and we’re following a lifestyle that’s causing endothelial damage. It makes sense that changing diet could potentially influence it. Then we have studies that have looked at some natural treatments and found that they’ve been effective to greater or lesser degrees.
