Wild Results


 


A 2009 report in Cardiovascular Diabetology highlighted a Paleolithic diet for patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).  In  two 3-month study periods the diet, glycemic control and several cardiovascular risk factors were compared to a standard anti-diabetes one in patients.   


 


Outcomes included blood pressure (BP); plasma glucose; insulin sensitivity; cholesterol; and brachial artery reactivity in response to ischemia.


 


Compared with the usual diet, scientists observed lower BP, arterial elasticity and less oxidative damage __and  large significant reductions in total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides.   


 


All participants had identical responses when switched to Paleolithic type diet.


 


Even short-term consumption of a Paleolithic type diet improved BP and glucose tolerance, decreases insulin secretion, increases insulin sensitivity and improves lipid profiles.


 


Processed meats were verboten that are filled with additives.....so were snacks and protein powders, bars with dairy-based whey, soy and casein.  Most of those products contain refined sugars and carbohydrates, and food allergens.


 


Although whey happens to have become the protein for strength and performance training in addition to bodybuilding...paleo experts argue against its' incorporation into paleo eating.


 


Starchy grains, dairy, refined sugars, legumes and processed oils don't hold up against wild and GF meats like venison, bison, fish, berries, roots, eggs and nuts in moderation.


 


Fish.   It's what's for breakfast.

Diet is a Dirty Word


 


 


The number one reason any particular diet fails is that it is implemented so strict right out of the starting gate.  Every part of a person's well-being rebels quickly.  The shock and awe approach can set up a vicious cycle for binge eaters.


 


 


A Whole 30 is the champion plan or protocol for a binge eater.


 


Diet is a dirty word because poorly implemented lifestyle changes will fail.  If we starve ourselves with ridiculous over-restriction....it will lead back to binge eating.


Truth.


 


At some point,  we cannot out-exercise a binge.   Stripping meals down while doing super intense cardio - followed by yet, another binge is an approach that will get us down the road to nowhere.


 


A Whole 30 gives us a better opportunity of getting there and staying there - and without the pain of starving ourselves.   If we follow the roadmap, we are creating new healthy habits with a better retention of what foods work for us.


 


If at the end of 6 months, we are eating healthy foods and we have virtually stopped all binge eating - and we are able to maintain this new lifestyle going forward...


 


Would we not consider this to be a successful strategy?


Think long term success.   Gentle permanent change for the Win.
