How the media sensationalizes paleo | Hunter-Gatherer Sometimes all you can do is laugh. I love this new piece at Time: Should you eat like a caveman?

Healthy Living How To - How To Live Healthy in Mind, Body & Spirit Start Here Post | Hunt.Gather.Love. Welcome to version 2.0 of HuntGatherLove.

I used to recommend a lot of diet books, overlooking some of the huge flaws in them because I felt that overall their message was positive. But the more time I spent in the health and diet community, the more I realized that those flaws end up acting like a virus, spreading stealthily through the internet with their flaws increasingly magnified.

But some folks who’ve taken the Primal leap—particularly those who were previously on a high-carb diet—have been faced with unexpected side effects waving them back to the world of bread, sugary fruits and sweet potato casserole. Interestingly, these side effects include a wide range of symptoms that are nearly identical to symptoms of severe thyroid hormone deficiency. Why is this happening? In an effort to get to the bottom of this, low-carb blogger Jimmy Moore is asking his cadre of low-carb literate practitioners to weigh in on the issue with our opinions.
