[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Low fat isn't necessarily the way to lose weight.

Count calories on an app like MFP or go paleo, but doing fat free cream cheese on a bagel isn't going to help.[/quote]

You don't need to go paleo, that's not a healthy diet.[/quote]

For some people it is, for others it isn't.  People I know who went paleo from a previous junk food diet ate more fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds than they had in their prior diet. They didn't eat as much junk and restaurant food.  I think that's healthier, don't you?[/quote]

But it's not the fact that it's "paleo" that makes their new diet healthy - it's cutting out the junk. You can cut out the junk without going paleo, and it can be just as healthy (or more so).

I've also known people who "go paleo" and spend all their time eating bacon, burgers from the local fast food joint (but they removed the bun, so it's ok), and other high-fat stuff with virtually no produce.  That's not healthy.

In short, "paleo" is neither healthy nor unhealthy by definition - what matters are the individual food choices, whether one is paleo or not.

I have the same issue, btw, with people who go gluten free "in order to eat healthier", then load up on potato chips and ice cream.  Celiac or gluten intolerances are different, but don't kid yourself that a gluten free diet is necessarily any healthier than a gluten-filled one.[/quote]

I totally agree with you, actually.  I also know some vegetarians who eat nothing but French fries and bagels.  So it's not the dietary choice itself, but the way one chooses to implement it.  And ultimately, whole unprocessed foods will prevail.  [/quote]
