I don't recall the details but I did watch a documentary on TV on these matters and the experiments were demolishing: high protein diets are not good for high performance at all (in the short term at least). Also eating small portions (instead of fewer big meals) helps to keep you alert and efficient through the workday (as you don't spend much energy in digestion, which brings you to nap-state).

He's been an endurance runner for 15 of those, and has competed in more than one hundred races to date, 10 of which were 100-milers" <br /><br />"The (Thailand) North Face 100K will take runners through fruit plantations, past Thai temples, and into wild and somewhat unpredictable territory. But it isn't the possibility of poisonous snake bites or even running out of hummus wraps on the trail that concerns Weller the most --- it's the heat." <br /><br />"Fruits and vegetables come from the earth, so you can think and feel lighter. And meat's something heavy, and there are so many things that have to happen for you to get the meat to your table. Vegetables, you just pick them out of the garden, and you either grill them or eat them raw."

Even the Inuit probably ate berries and fish, when available.<br /><br />Probably, the "Paleolithic Diet" looked a lot more like the "Julia Child Diet" than the meat only diet.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850856778953207810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023805782808412230.post-24183454666189188372013-01-07T09:32:01.710+01:002013-01-07T09:32:01.710+01:00You can't believe how many people, notably in ...You can't believe how many people, notably in their 50s and such, seem to believe that our Paleolithic ancestors ate almost only meat. On the other hand it is of course "nothing new".

AA970309<br /><br />1997<br /><br /><br />Nothing new here, really.<br /><br />I've vaguely noticed the Paleolithic Diet thing. Eyeroll. <br /><br />I've also run across papers showing that gathered seeds formed part of pre Neolithic diets.Marniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850856778953207810noreply@blogger.com
