Would that ALL physicians stop one moment and listen…

My paleo journey has at once liberated me, and also made me feel helpless to all the worlds health problems. It all comes down to getting people to listen. Not just to stop and hear. But to truly listen and think. Consider. Reflect. My personal physician was not aware of paleo, evolutionary medicine and diet, until I started telling him what I was doing to explain my significant weight loss. He was supportive if not convinced. He sees so many patients on a daily basis. If it was me, it would drive me literally crazy to not be able to help all the people coming in with diabetes,  heart disease, and auto-immune diseases. I came across an article a few weeks ago on a new resource I love – PaleolithicMD.com In typical PaleoCoder fashion though, I didn’t get around to reading it until today.  In this article titled “How Has My Transition to Paleo Changed My Approach To Treating the Big Three In My Patients?“, Dr. Ernie Garcia discusses how his practice has changed in recent years with his adoption of a paleo lifestyle. “My Paleo journey began as a personal one.  I did it to feel better, get fitter, and…

Update Me: Lots of new resources popping up!

Been awhile since I last posted. <– This has to be the most common opening sentence across all blogs on the Internet… But at any rate, I’ve been in a maintainability cycle for a couple months now. Down to 275 (115 lb loss) and feeling good. I don’t bother to track what I eat or count any calories but I am going to begin a push to knock off another big chunk of weight now. I have also come across a number of very informative resources that someone passing by may not know about and find useful. First, there’s almost too many paleo recipe sites to list these days but here’s a few I’ve recently enjoyed; Paleo Diet Lifestyle Nom Nom Paleo T.G.I.Paleo And last, I noticed I didn’t have Everyday Paleo on my recipes page. This was my first resource AND first cookbook I purchased! There’s a number of interesting new approaches to this paleo scene that aren’t necessarilly paleo. But I think are worth checking out.

The Paleo Declaration of Independence

  This poignant video cleverly draws the comparison between oppressive governments and oppressive food processing manufacturers. It’s certainly true that we must maintain our right to choose. But there’s going to be a lot of people thinking we’ve “flipped the bozo bit“. Calling for a revolution? Well, there’s so many parallels here it’s difficult to quickly pick where to start. As a Paleo follower, I am hoping for a revolution of sorts. But when I started this journey, it didn’t take me long to realize I should start by revolutionizing myself. Leave the arguing to others and concentrate on improving my food choices. I still feel that way. I’m still on my weightloss journey. But as I’ve discussed on here before; the attack on cholesterol; the processed sugary foods; the fear of saturated fat; all identify a concerted and coordinated effort to control our food supply and what we eat. Probably for the purpose of profits.  So while I like taking the personal responsibility approach, I’m sure I still come off as preaching to people. It’s not my intent but that’s what happens when you feel passionate about something. This video is rooted in this movement’s passion. Living our lives according…

Fat Head – the Movie

I came across a documentary today that I thought was worthy of recognition. Fat Head (2009) is a documentary by Tom Naughton where he follows up on the infamous Super Size Me. While he really punches holes in Super Size Me’s conclusion, it’s the common sense approach that’s worth paying some attention to. Tom set about eating fast food everyday only he set some rules to try to see if he could do so and still lose weight. He certainly isn’t promoting paleo, but he did take a fairly low carb approach. It’s a long movie but pretty entertaining. Tom also posts Bad Science articles on LowCarbBlogs.net
