Last revised as of 9/13/2011 The Archevore Diet - A pastoral whole foods diet that can improve your health by more closely emulating the evolutionary metabolic milieu (EM2) and avoiding the hazards of industrial foodways.
This diet is a practical framework using whole foods easily available in the 21st century. It is designed to be as universal as possible. The average person who adopts it in preference to the standard american diet should be healthier in every respect, and will usually settle at a more optimal body composition spontaneously. The diet minimizes putative neolithic agents of disease (NADs) and ensures adequate micronutrition. The diet is designed to be healthy and sustainable as long as you are alive and to offer plenty of satisfaction, while minimizing food reward effects that lead to overeating. Historically, many find this diet results in spontaneous reduction in caloric intake and in health-improving fat loss, with no measuring, weighing or special supplements. 1. 2. 3.
Life Extension Daily News. PRNewswire SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The benefits of the Mediterranean Diet go beyond weight loss, even when weight loss isn't achieved. Researchers from St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, studied 12 patients without diabetes who had nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the results of their study demonstrated that liver health was improved even without weight loss. "Subjects had a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity, indicating a reduction in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. This was demonstrated without weight loss, thus suggesting that a change in macronutrient intake alone without weight loss can improve metabolic health," said Marno Ryan, MBBS, MD.
Dr. Ryan, continues, "This small, highly controlled study demonstrated that a 6-week Mediterranean Dietary intervention could lead to a reduction of liver fat by 39% compared with a current recommended healthy diet. Abstract title: American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Another reason you shouldn’t go nuts on nuts. 9 Steps To Perfect Health.
Our health continues to deteriorate at an alarming pace, and the incidence of chronic, degenerative disease is skyrocketing each year. Consider the following: Diabesity (obesity + diabetes) affects more than one billion people worldwide, including 100 million Americans and 50% of Americans over 65.More than half of Americans are overweight, and a full one-third are clinically obese.Recent reports suggest that one-third of people born in 2010 will develop diabetes at some point in their lives.9 out of 10 Americans will develop high blood pressure before they die.4 out of 10 people who die each year in the U.S. die of heart disease, and rates of heart disease are projected to double in the next 50 years.Rates of infertility are expected to double in the next decade.According to the World Health Organization, depression is now the leading cause of disability, affecting more than 120 million people worldwide.
I could go on but I think you get the point. Introducing the 9 steps. The Definitive Guide to Grains. Amber Waves of Pain Order up! Yes, folks, it’s definitive guide time again. I’ve read your requests and am happy (as always) to oblige. Grab your coffee (or tea), and pull up a seat. Insulin, cholesterol, fats… They’re only the tip of the iceberg. Grains. Those of you who have been with us a while now know the evolutionary backdrop I mean here.
Ten thousand years seems like a long time, doesn’t it? When I say humans didn’t evolve eating grains, I mean our digestive processes didn’t evolve to maximize the effectiveness of grain consumption. Among my many beefs with grain, the first and foremost is the havoc it plays with insulin and other hormonal responses in the body. The gist is this (as many of you know): Whatever the carbohydrate, it will eventually be broken down into glucose, either in the gut or the liver. Why? And as for the nutritional value of grains? Why not get the same nutrients from sources that don’t come back and bite you in the backside? But, wait, there’s more. How to Eat According to the Primal Blueprint. Welcome!

Do the Math In my recent Context of Calories post, I explained how the different macronutrients we eat at each meal (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) have different effects in the body.
But how do you do that? In fact, most popular daily diets look at overall calories as the main factor in weight loss and weight gain. Which brings me to the crux of today’s discussion. 3) Excess body fat is bad. Protein Carbs. Wheat Belly. Over a half decade ago Professor Jared Diamond, in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Guns, Germs, and Steel, famously wrote “The adoption of agriculture, supposedly our most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways a catastrophe from which we have never recovered.” Dr Diamond was referring, of course, to the devolution of human health that took place as mankind suffered the corporal transformation driven by the mismatch between hunter-gatherer genes and an agricultural diet and lifestyle. Smaller stature, decreased cortical bone thickness, obesity, increased incidence of infectious diseases, dental caries, periodontal disease, vitamin deficiencies, and even famine – all common in agriculturists – were not, for the most part, the lot of pre-agricultural man.
Humanity doubtless gained more than it lost in this hunter to farmer changeover when viewed in a big-picture sort of way. The ancient Egyptians consumed a diet that would be considered optimal by many people today. As Dr. Cancer-risk of well-cooked meat may be more than twice as high than first thought. By Claire Bates Updated: 10:48 GMT, 3 November 2011 Over-cooked? The risks from well-done meat may be greater than first thought, say scientists It may give you pause for thought before you burn your sausages to a crisp on the barbeque.
Scientists have found that the carcinogenic risk of eating well-cooked meat may be more than twice than previously thought. It was known that frying or grilling food can cause carcinogenic food 'mutagens' on the surface. But previous research has relied on using mice as models, basing the expected effect on humans on the effects on the rodents. Scientists at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health found that humans have certain enzymes called sulfotransferases (sult) in many part of their bodies. However, mice only have them in their livers. Sult-enzymes can make some substances in food less harmful, but they can also transform harmless substances into carcinogenic substances. Archevore Blog - There is No Such Thing as a Macronutrient Part I - Fats.
What is a macronutrient? Macro means large, in this case large in scale or quantity. In common usage, a macronutrient is a class of nutrient that is required in larger amounts – larger amounts than micronutrients like vitamins and trace minerals. Sometimes the larger scale minerals - sodium, magnesium and calcium - are considered macronutrients or macrominerals. But usually we consider the caloric and structural molecules we need in large amount to be “the macronutrients”. They have for many years been classified by their chemical structure into three groups. Fats triacylglycerols - three fatty acids on a glycerol backbone.
Carbohydrates composed of simple sugars (CH2O)n, n>=3. Proteins Polypeptides – polymers composed of combinations of 20 different amino acids with highly variable side chains – Used for structure, function (enzymes) and for fuel as a back-up. Indeed C% + F% + Pro% = 100% By definition. But so what? Fats Let’s look at fats first. Is “high fat” good or bad? Sidebar: Elaidic Acid. Archevore Blog - Paleo 2.0 - A Diet Manifesto. In 1985, a radiologist named Boyd Eaton wrote an article for the New England Journal of Medicine called Paleolithic Nutrition. As far as I can tell, we can trace the use of the term Paleolithic Diet or Paleo diet to this article. Eaton later inspired and collaborated with Loren Cordain, a professor of exercise science at Colorado State, and author of what seems to be the most popular book with the base sequence of “paleo” in the title. A gastroenterologist named Walter L.
Voegtlin had written a book called The Stone Age Diet much earlier in 1975. Starting an unfortunate trend that continues to this day, the book had a cave man on the cover, complete with loincloth and spear. Interestingly, both Voigtlin and Eaton seemed to consider the macronutrient ratio to be the key parameter of the Paleolithic diet we should try to emulate.
I had first heard the term paleolithic diet through Eaton’s article. Reading GCBC in 2007 left me with several impressions: Milk and cheese are causes of cancer. Resveratrol: Is Wine Really Good for Your Heart and Health? “Step right up ladies and gentlemen and try the world’s most amazing elixir. It gives you energy, melts wrinkles away, and even makes your children do their homework!” Sounds like the barking pitch of yesterday’s medicine man, doesn’t it? Or does it? Today, these sideshow vendors have moved their elixir wagons to the Internet, selling promises of better vision, better hearts, better sex, heck, a better life. Some of the pitches are obvious fabrications (“Lose 20 pounds in 20 minutes!”) While others make you stop and pause. Is It Real or Is It Snake Oil… There’s no question that there is something to the adulation surrounding resveratrol, the much-touted antioxidant found in wine, grapes, and even cocoa powder, peanuts, and mulberries.
This “miracle nutrient” has been heralded as a phytoestrogen 1 and an anticarcinogenic 2 nutrient. The Heart of the Matter… The key to resveratrol’s cardiovascular support lies in its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood flow properties.

He is 39 years old, has been with the teams for about 20 years now, and is currently deployed to Iraq on his second tour in that theater. Jason has been an avid cross-fitter for about 3 years and eats a PaNu style lacto-paleo diet with about 10% of calories form carbohydrate.
In his own words: Kurt, Here is a synopsis of my evolution with diet and CrossFit. For most of the last 19 years, I have been very physically active. Late in 2001, I had a cholesterol test. In 2005, I was introduced to CrossFit by some colleagues. The good thing about CrossFit-style training is that it is truly measurable. About that same time, I had the good fortune of attending some CF Level 1 certs we held at work. Shortly after starting the Zone, I noticed an improvement in all my CF Benchmarks. My diet most resembled Mark Sisson’s Primal Blueprint. Deadlift at 2.5 times bodyweight, etc… 1.
