I adore Tahan, I really do, and to me her body is perfect, but this paleo lifestyle is such a crock of shit... I doubt half the people who hashtag the lifestyle and are behind it even know what it means let alone understand it, but the diet itself is ridiculous. A diet without legumes and grains to me is just ludicrous!Tahan Lew Fatt @TahnyLew now10 seconds ago
Loving this Paleo lifestyle - it's not a diet it's just the way I eat now! Noticing amazing changed in my body
idk about Dave. He drinks like there's no tomorrow. Not to mention letting Lawson lick the Nutella jar just after he's finished licking his balls.
What bothers me is that some people are just jumping on the paleo bandwagon because it is the "IN" thing to do. Not sure if that is what Tahan is doing, but lots of people have very little understanding of it, but do it because it is cool... Just like you said.... Anyway soon there will be a new in diet/lifestyle that everyone will want to do...
That's my whole issue with it. On facebook I see so many o my friends who post what they are eating and tagging paleo and then when asked what it is they just say it's part of their fitness now because they were told about it, but dont actually know what it really is. My whole other issue with it is the fact that legumes and grains are all the sudden a bad thing. as if! ask some of these people why it's apparently bad and they honestly cant answer. just gets under my skin. that and their caveman theory has been thwarted with evidence to suggest they are wrong about what one would eat. do these people realise that the life expectancy of these people would have been half of what people lived to now? ok ok, I'm going on now lol. As you can see this kind of annoys me... bring in the next fad diet
For me its like yeah the caveman ate meat and fat, but civilization took off thanks to farming and agriculture... Of WHEAT!!! ... And totally agree with what you said.
I'm sure they smashed up coconut water, berries, kale, some protein powder for energy though *sarcasm*

oh i definitely agree with you. And for that reason alone I think that having a diet that caters to those people is fantastic. A friend of mine has to make sure her daughter avoids all gluten things because it is really bad for her stomach, so I know she incorporates a lot of gluten free meals in her home. But for those that don't have an issue with it an don't understand the paleo diet, they annoy me, because they are nothing more than followers who are promoting a lifestyle that is ultimately trying to make it seem like certain food groups are terrible when that is not entirely true
I agree too. Cool to be cool (or fool). You make a very good point about it distorting perceptions of what a good, healthy, balanced diet is. We only have to look at the obesity problem to know that healthy eating is a very real issue.
moderation is my answer to healthy eating. Though some do have dietary needs and for those a special diet would need to be put in place. Unfortunately society has become whatever is quick, easy and already accessible, in terms of how food is consumed. So processed foods are a sure thing. Mix that with a much less active lifestyle, and like you said, there is an obesity problem.
