<p>Are there any universal truths when it comes to eating a Paleo diet ? Every time someone comes out with a new idea, 50 people shoot it down. </p>

<p>Cogito ergo sum.</p> <p>And that if you get all of your calories from crisco you're going to die soon.</p>

<p>Without a time machine we have no idea what exactly happened in the paleolithic era.</p>

<p>Very few. </p> <p>That is why I am of the mind:</p> <blockquote> <p>Is this a BIG TENT or a small tent? This is a Big Tent. <strong>It has to be given the frailty of knowledge about modern hunter-gatherers, our Paleolithic ancestors, and recent evolutionary changes in the last 10,000 years. I view eating Paleo as a broad and flexible meta-rule: Eat in an evolutionary appropriate manner for our species.</strong> That's it. Full Stop. </p> <p>So, you might be asking, what does evolutionary appropriate manner for our species mean? What it means is that I fully expect its meaning to change, or uh, "evolve", as better anthropological, genetic and medical evidence accumulates. <strong>I think the jury is still out on many of what we Paleo diet enthusiasts firmly believe in regards to intermintent fasting, saturated fats, macro-nutrient ratios, supplements, fitness etc etc And that's okay.</strong> </p> <p>As John Maynard Keynes said, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"</p> <p><strong>> Probably, there are multiple ways of eating evolutionarily appropriately depending on who you are, your state of health, and personal history.</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>From <a href="http://PaleolithicDiet.com" rel="nofollow">PaleolithicDiet.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=48c5aee421576df1d6f5c8e45&amp;id=9135210d47" rel="nofollow">http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=48c5aee421576df1d6f5c8e45&amp;id=9135210d47</a></p>

<p>Yes.....epigenetics is controled by our environment of development and is very hard to modify after age six.</p>

<p>If you consider that those with celiac disease are basically a kind of genetic throwback (as are people who are lactose intolerant, perhaps), I think paleo people can agree that grains - especially gluten - and certain forms of dairy are highly problematic for long-term health.</p>

<p>At a minimum, avoid the three neolithic agents of disease (http://archevore.com).</p>

<p>Hit men that piss you off, sleep with women who'll let you, eat as much as you can and do as little as possible. I think there was a lot of that going on back in the day, there's no way I can do that sort of thing today without going to jail, where I hear they feed you a very high carb diet, so that's out. One of the few things that I can get away with is a paleo attitude, 'try as hard as you can untill you win or die, then stop trying and go to sleep.' I noticed that this is the way my dog goes about life, and he seems wonderfully happy and really fit, so I gave it a whirl, and it works out great. Eat organs and meat and try as hard as you possibly can, be a scary caveman or cavelady and see what happens.</p>
