Thanks

A few pro's and con's.

Positives:
1. Better than standard american diet.
2. More veggies.
3. No Processed foods.
4. Emphasis on organic produce.
5. Makes people more health conscious.
6. No dairy.

Negatives:
1. Phyto-phobia, no legumes or grains.
2. Too much emphasis on red meats.
3. Riddled with pseudo-science.
4. Lipid hypothesis denyers on no solid base.
5. Too much saturated fat.
6. Made up diet with no basis in the real diets of the paleolithic man.

Its retarded.

If you really want to eat like our ancestors did look at our close relatives.

If you do this youll find the following:

No cooking

Fruits

Some nuts

Some green leafs

Maybe some insects.

>6. No dairy
Dairy is fine if youre not a shitskin. Pretty much all white can digest dairy just fine.

>dairy
>bad

Not about that, it's just not worth consuming. Saturated fat, cholesterol, trans fats, increased risk of prostate cancer through mTORC1 signaling etc. There are better dietary sources for every desirable nutrient in dairy.

it makes people feel like theyre on a strict diet so they cant really cheat

>3. Riddled with pseudo-science

so, then it's a meme.

confirmed. it' a meme.

The main point of paleo diet is to restrict yourself to unprocessed food.
It's a great, GREAT diet no matter what your fitness goals are.
Ps: you may eat oats, legumes, rice and shit, you don't have to go all out "caveman" autist

It's not either, really.

It's not a meme, in that it's a real thing that people actually do. A meme is just a joke that circulates on the internet, like squat plugs or Pepe the frog.

In terms of its actual legitimacy as a fitness diet, I don't see it giving you any substantial benefits. Whether you are bulking or cutting, count your calories and your macros, and you'll make it. I think paleo is more of a "moral" choice for some, than anything else.

No, a meme is a derogatory term for stupid shit that people do. That includes online jokes but it also includes stupid shit that people do. That's the functional definition of the word now. If I say you're living a memelife you know I'm deriding you.

>>38812315
a meme is all about imitation without understanding the basis behind the original statement or action. Some memes are good. most arent.

>caveman diet
>you don't need to eat like a caveman
Getting mixed signals here buddy.

>>38812354
That's not any definition of meme.

"Meme" was originally coined to describe replicating, gradually changing cultural information (the word was chosen to be similar to "gene" to reinforce the analogy between them). Ironically enough the word "meme" itself has become a meme by that definition, and has turned into something basically unrecognizable now.

Paleo diet is legit, just add some grains, dairy, starchy carbs and you are all set

>please ignore the fact that Jaime also advocates a high protein, high fat, high fibre and low carb diet that is essentially a non-autistic version paleo

>>38807640

Bodybuilders have diet down to a (literal) science; all other 'diets' are just trying to re-invent the wheel, be different, or make things more simple then they really are.
