• An eating plan that will not have you worrying about counting calories and portion sizes! So instead of heading down a possible road of aging and suffering from “man-made” diseases, why not just age naturally and healthfully by following the simple rule of just eating “real foods”? Changes Can Happen Fast (For The Better) In a society that wants quick results on everything, there is good news. A recent study done on short term changes to a diet to more “real foods” shows what can happen: Background:The contemporary American diet figures centrally in the pathogenesis of numerous chronic diseases—'diseases of civilization'. We investigated in humans whether a diet similar to that consumed by our preagricultural hunter-gatherer ancestors (that is, a Paleolithic type diet) confers health benefits. Methods: We performed an outpatient, metabolically controlled study, in nine nonobese sedentary healthy volunteers, ensuring no weight loss by daily weight. We compared the findings when the participants consumed their usual diet with those when they consumed a Paleolithic type diet. Conclusions: Even short-term consumption of a paleolithic type diet improves BP and glucose tolerance, decreases insulin secretion, increases insulin sensitivity and improves lipid profiles without weight loss in healthy sedentary humans.” Source:Metabolic and physiologic improvements from consuming a Paleolithic, hunter-gatherer type diet; L A Frassetto, et al; European Journal of Clinical Nutrition advance online publication, 11 Feb 2009 30 Day Transform 29
