Q: Is this a Paleo food challenge?
A: No, this is a “real food” challenge. While Paleo-like eating shares many
of the same characteristics, we also empower you to know how to use
more modern food choices such as dairy and rice. We encourage meat
eaters and vegetarians alike to join in and find what works for them.
Q: Is this a Low-Carb plan?
A: There are no set %s of carbs/proteins/fats to follow here (that is just for
the complicated diets who want to sell you stuff like bars and pre-made
meals). Eating real foods can vary and you can adjust as your energy
needs require. How many carbs you eat is up to you, as long as they are
all “real foods”.
Q: What is wrong with “whole grains”? Aren't they supposed to be
healthy?
A: Wheat (and variants of wheat like rye and barley) contain a protein
called “gluten,” which is a gut irritant for many people. Further, wheat
contains lectins that can push your body towards leptin resistance, which
promotes obesity. The only way to know is to remove wheat completely
and see how you feel.
Non-gluten grains like rice, corn, and quinoa are better options with fewer
anti-nutrients, though they should still be used in moderation and should
be soaked or sprouted prior to consumption. Read this book for more
information on why whole grains aren't so super healthy.
Q: Why should I eat less dairy?
A: Dairy is a possibly allergen for lots of people, even those that aren't
aware of it (especially if you have breathing/asthma issues). Quality should
be your focus, opting for less processed options like whole milk (or even
raw milk and cheese). Skim milk and reduced fat milks are a no-no as they
are highly processed food products (and promote more insulin responses).
