Message: [QUOTE="temery, post: 2801885, member: 1"] The one thing lost in this thread, and other critics of the paleo diet, is that very few people do it to extend their life. They do it because they either feel like crap, and/or want to lose weight. Many who keep with the diet say they feel better, have more energy, and did lose weight. They may very well have had the same results simply by swapping out they crap they had been eating for a vegan diet. My guess is a balanced diet of a little bit of both diets, is best. But stick with whatever works. For me, I had to go vegan, or vegetarian, depending on the definition. I was looking at kidney failure, had gout and felt like crap all day, every day. After a couple months, my kidney function improved, and the gout attacks have been less often. Nothing works for everyone, but giving up meat (still eat one steak a month, and it is glorious) and confident food worked for me. [/QUOTE]
