I did google Weston A Price and found it ironic that you state my diet plan is very outdated and misguided when Weston Price did his research 70-80+ years ago and there is quite a bit online in the short time I googled evidencing he was way off base on stuff. His observations sound a whole lot like the paleo diet which does clearly work very well for folks and I'm curious about possibly trying it after I complete P90X.
That said I am getting more into natural foods and but I am not gonna eat dark meat cause I hate the taste  |
I appreciate that humor! lol. It's true, he did his studies then, but they are not based on fads. Personally I find them fascinating.
By 'dated' I meant in terms of the 'low fat, high protein' craze that was popular in the late 80's-90's. I did p90X. I think it's a great workout. Knowing what I know now about that diet, I very much disagree with it.
The paleo diet is flawed itself too, and is very much a similar fad, but it's a step in the right direction, except for the fact that it discounts the use of quality dairy products. So it's really lacking there.
The food processing industry carries a lot of clout and influence.. unfortunately I think this negatively effects the 'health' industry in which many professionals are misguided about what is healthy and what is not.
Quick example, cholesterol, butter and salt are all very good for you. They have essential saturated fats and iodine that are need for nutrient absorption. If you exclude them from your diet you're going to be deficient. You might 'look' like you are in great shape, but your body will not be healthy.
Foods in their whole natural forms are healthiest and natural fats do not make us fat, they are essential.
