Neanderthin (Paleo) life style
An excellent straightforward introduction to the Paleolithic Diet. (Many of my food suggested started with the lists from this site)
Some quotes from this site:
"Consider something: the low-fat hysteria is at an all-time high, yet more and more people are getting fat. Something just doesn't FIT"
"Carbohydrate is just a techical or generic word for what lay men call "sugar" or "starch", nothing more, nothing less. It isn't strictly necessary for humans, and it should only be eaten in the amounts present in vegetables and fruit. Protein can be converted to carbohydrate by the body on a need-to-have basis, but it doesn't cause blood sugar spikes."
"When you're trying to lose weight eat only when you're hungry - don't eat for fun (except occasionally)"
"Your body will be more conditioned to burning fat for energy when you stop relying on sugar/starch/complex carbohydrates for energy. This may aid your weight loss ...as the body will have no resistance to losing your fat stores, but it is not scientifically known - or rather that last part seems to have quite some support now due to Gary Taubes' brilliant work. Most likely, when your body adapts to the new diet you'll just feel better."
"Insulin is a special player. It's a hormone primarily responsible for eliminating blood sugar from your blood. Its secondary function is to transport amino acids to your muscles, and also to store fat. When you eat bread or a baked potato you cause a sudden, dramatic rise in blood sugar, and your body responds by frantically producing insulin to remove this dangerous substance from your veins."
"Coffee is not allowed on the paleo diet, but most people drink it anyway"
