When GPs have no idea what you mean when you talk about Omega 6 to 3 ratio.

When GPs gave me advice to get rid of ALL fat in my diet and choose low fat products when my cholesterol was slightly high. ( I'm 16 and I completely ignored the advice, ate more saturated fat, cut back on the nuts and conventionally fed animals and fixed it myself! ) Hmph.

When GPs have no idea about nutrition, and say " I'm just a general doctor, I don't know anything about nutrition, go see a nutritionist"

When GPs assume you know nothing about nutrition because you're only 16

When Gps say you have an eating problem because you follow paleo ( When they hear the word diet they look at my age and jump to conclusions)

When GP tell you you should get a balanced diet, such as pasta and bread.

As you may have noticed, GPs really give me the sh***. I've been to about 5 different ones before finally meeting one that is actually accepting of paleo.

Many GPs ( especially in my country) Just go to uni, learn it from the book, and follow the pharmaceutical companies advice, these people don't have an actual passion, or inclination to be a doctor.

When people of S.A.D tell me to eat things in moderation

When people of S.A.D tell me im doing something dangerous because im taking out legumes and grains ( two essential food groups according to them) out of my diet.

When the asian lady at the shop I buy all natural coconut cream from every second day thinks im crazy and that i'm going to die of heart disease.

Wow

Sorry for the rant :P

i really love PB on pumpernickel and all these years it was hurting me in return :(

Not getting enough sleep.

I've been a few hours short every night this week, and today I'm on the verge of rage at every turn.

People asking me "What in the world do you eat then?" when I say I don't eat grains.

When people ask what I can eat when I tell them that I am gluten-free and follow the Paleo diet --- my answer is always "meat, veggies, fruit, water" and they look at me like I just spoke at them in tongues.

When people who are close to me, like my brother or my best friend, try to explain to me that red meat causes cancer and cholesterol causes heart attacks - AS IF I had been living in a cave somewhere and had never heard of the conventional dietary wisdom before!!!

Did they ever consider that I am an intelligent guy that did his f*cking homework on this stuff before I went Paleo? Apparently not.

A failure to distinguish between natural and industrial sources when discussing things like fructose, dairy and carbohydrates.

People who say "I'm not Paleo - I'm Primal!", as if there is really some big important difference between the two.

Every time I see N=1, I want to poke my eyeballs out with a fork.

My biggest, all encompassing pet peeve, is when paleo/primal people are completely "shotgun" a problem that someone else has on the forums. Very rarely do people have enough knowledge to properly answer a serious question, but they feel the urge to chime in with whatever their most recent obsession is.

For example, "I'm feeling tired" could be answered with non-specific advice about vitamin D, B12, iron, omega-3s, animal fat, PUFAs, saturated fat, sunshine, stress, sleep, too many carbs, not enough carbs, not enough fiber, too much fiber, gluten, adrenal fatigue, fructose malabsorption, FODMAPS, nightshades, goitrogens, too much cardio, not enough weight lifting, over-training, too much coffee, IF'ing, wearing shoes, using an alarm clock, dairy, gut flora, whatever.

If you don't have a legitimate knowledge base to really address someone's concern (yah know, like a doctor) you shouldn't be offering advice.

Paleo folks not understanding 'the dose makes the poison' irritates me greatly.

Raw squash, raw broccoli and raw zucchini.

I just downed a raw squash and let's just say that I needed alot of water.

I cannot tolerate using prophylactics since I turned Paleo. I have to ride bareback. True, I was going in that direction before. The turn against all things neolithic has increased my dislike for the damn things though.

The pronunciation of paleo as "Pah-Lee-Oh" - I have a friend that does this, as if the term "Paleolithic" is some sort of exotic phrase from Nepal.

My boss who loathes any vegetables other than potatoes, and lives off meat, pasta, and those potatoes... yet maintains that my diet is "weird".

People who try primal/paleo for a week and whine because they "don't feel/look any different yet".

People thinking I am vegan, or that I only live on one food and nothing else. And then they begin preaching at me about how veganism is dangerous and how we need meat. I tell them, "I agree", and explain that I am not even vegan and that I eat meat, yet that somehow just flies over there head. I eat meat, just not from restaurants, and they think I am lying because I am not eating THEIR brand of meat (often cooked with sauces containing HFCS or vegetable oils).

My grandparents think I am a "vegetarian living off goat yogurt", which doesn't even make sense. They think goat yogurt is all I eat because I bring goat yogurt with me for a filler whenever I visit them.

One of my roommates thought that I only ate goat milk, sourdough, and yogurt.

And one day, my other roommate came up to me and asked, "is butter really all that you eat? How do you survive off that?" So I asked, "what made you think I only eat butter? So you don't think I eat vegetables, or anything else?" And he's like, "yeah, I only saw you eat butter."

I've been cooking steak, buying fruits, and chopping up carrots, broccolis, and other vegetables the whole time I have been with my roommates. Even more ironic is that one roommate thought I was living off only yogurt while the other thought I was only living off butter. I am sorry, that's just beyond.. LOL

Grass fed, grain finished beef that is touted as grass fed!

When I hear the Crossfit folks in my office complaining about being overly sore or injured (I work with a ton of Crossfit followers). Suck it up! If you keep getting injured, uh, it might be your crappy form in your lifting/exercise techniques (A LOT of this going on in Crossfit gyms) or just too much for you to handle (not a problem, just don't kill yourself trying to do it). Keep it up, the chiropractors and doctors are just salivating out there waiting for you to become their patients, lol.

You don't need to do Crossfit (not all can/should do it anyway). Just get out and "move" and "move often". If you choose to do weight training, great, but learn proper exercises for muscle groups and proper lifting techniques. Crossfit is NOT the "Holy Grail" folks, lol.

The local vegan society is busy trying to convince the community that a vegan diet is the way to save the world and get healthy. They do everything but door-knocking on weekend mornings, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them start that.

I was a vegan and that diet led me to ill-health. So seeing these guys promote veganism like it's their religion is annoying.
