Paleo/Primal Diet

[alwaysgrowing]

the bottom line here is that the thread has changed into an argument over the US rank on the list that lifts posted and thats not what the thread is about. no matter what rank we are, america eats like a big pile of shit and the paleo diet is not a good option compared to a healthy bodybuilding diet.

What do you mean by not a good option? For gaining mass, bodybuiding wins hands down, I'll concede. But what is best for us internally? Does gluten and breaking down complex carbs have a worse affect on our insides than fructose does? I am just curious. This diet can work, I have seen the results.

Basically, explain to me why a clean BB diet is better. Not saying this to be an ass, I just want to know your reasoning so I can understand your thought process.

i explained earlier in the thread.

people seem to think that everything in the past is better. its just not the case. things like oats, rice, etc.. are extremely beneficial to not only a bodybuilders diet but to general health.

what you are stalking about is replacing all complex carbs with fruit aka simple sugars. its just not a good idea in terms of blood sugar levels and even hormone levels.

Even though some fruits are as low if no lower than some complex carbs on the GI scale?

apples, oranges and grapefruit are all low GI. On the website below it lists all the fruit under 55 on the GI scale

lol, not exactly the look I am going for. I was curous about the diet. Like I said, still can't find any concrete data for or against it. So I'll stick with what I am doing until late summer. Then maybe play around with it:weights:

if the look you are going for is healthy/muscular stick to a healthy bodybuilding type diet. trust me.

if you want to be a sort of healthy hippy and just eat fruits and seeds and elk then go for that other diet..

I'm not doubting you at all. Its just I have this need for cognition. I want to know why for everything. I was the kid in school that was told "don't touch the paint, it is wet and will come off on" and immediately threw myself against the wall to see if it was true.

Paleo is big in the Crossfit community.

Not many of the hardcore Crossfit guys could be mistaken for a bodybuilder but they're some damn fit individuals with much more muscle mass than your average gym rat.

This guy follows the primal diet. And anyone who can run 50 marathons in 50 days (1310 miles) has to be eating right. Still, I like being bigger than most so sticking with the BB diet for now

I read an article about him. He ran when he was younger, but stopped in high school because he disliked running in a circle. Then around his 30th birthday, he was out drinking with him friends, and decided to go out for a run. Now he makes a living doing it.
