Currently doing it to help control my auto-immune diseases. What does /fit/ think of its overall effect on health and fitness?

It's a fad and it has already died out. Fuck I get angry just thinking about how far behind everyone else you are.
Get Instagram, follow people with many followers. Do whatever they do if you want a front seat on that band wagon.
Right now you're in the luggage compartment on the fucking short bus you human shaped waste of space.

I never said it didn't help me. My joints feel great now. I was hoping for a less ignorant view on the Paleo Diet, not a view on overall "fad" diets.

>fruit more than fats
ok
>>37782793
Why does it help your joints? How does it work?
>>37782735
Lol, you telling me that paleo period humans would have only taken the lean cuts off a kill? The cunts would have eaten dogshit if they were hungry enough.

If you're expecting serious responses about this shitty diet you're gonna have a bad time

Research shows certain foods elevate inflammatory biomarkers because of some of the compounds found in them. It is a fact that an unhealthy diet increases inflammation and risk of disease, though it might be because of the things in the food (glyco-alkaloids, saponins, etc) that exacerbate the harmful effects, along with the sugars and excessive fats in the food. I have RA, by the way.
It is also said that leaky gut, a syndrome found in nearly all patients with auto-immune diseases, contribute to auto-immune disease symptom. The things that the Paleo Diet avoids aggravates leaky gut.

>paleo food pyramid
Paleo is funny. If it was based on science, it would look basically like the normal food pyramid, but paleo isn't paleo because of science. Paleo is what you get when you decide science isn't cool enough and you want to treat nutrition like a crossfit program.
It's not 100% terrible if only for the fact that it encourages fruits and vegetables and discourages processed foods (atleast at one point, now there's a bunch of processed foods catering to paleo dieters), but any diet that tries to make you think oatmeal and pinto beans are unhealthy and shouldn't be included in your diet is a dangerous diet.

>food pyramid
Do you mean the traditional food pyramid? Or the vertical food pyramid that defies architectural logic? Or the food plate that no one knows about because it's not a pyramid?
>>37782735
It's undeniably healthy af. It's also retarded. No reason at all to exclude dairy, grains and legumes
>>37782735
It has a decent foundation but it's a bit too restrictive and the science behind it is complete bunk.

Whole grains and legumes contain prebiotic fiber and phytochemicals that improve GI function. Even the much vilified wheat

Milk and yogurt have prebiotic oligosaccharides and probiotics. Whey protein and HMB can enhance protein synthesis in enterocytes which strengthens the gut barrier

Research shows you're mom elevates inflammatory biomarkers in my dick bro.

I'm paleo, and I feel better than ever. But pic is wrong. I eat more fats than fruits and more veggies than meats.
