[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Nuts, seeds and whole grains can be prepared in such a way that our body can utilize the nutrients."

Yes exactly. Do most people prepare them properly? I never used to - and now I do. And that is what this thread is about.

"It is in the 40s, 50s, and 60s that most people develop health issues of any kind and any cause, because that is middle age."  You think this stuff just happens-- out of nowhere -- for no reason? Most Americans think that. Doctors make a lot of $$$ on the people who are not willing to accept responsibility for their own health, do their own research, and make changes to their diets instead of taking a lot of pills.

Google "iodine deficiency" -- go on, I dare you. While you are at it, search "magnesium deficiency" and any other trace nutrient you might think of.

Yes, we must consume the whole animal, including the organs. I never used to do that -- I used to buy boneless, skinless chicken breast and tofu. Because i believed it was healthy. and then i learned otherwise. And then I changed my diet. [b]And that's what this thread is about, right?[/b]

Um, no, this thread is about ridiculous fads and trends that people religiously bought into in the past, much like what you are buying into now.

As for any "deficiency," you can get blood work done to find out if you are deficient.  It isn't a mysterious thing.  And if you are deficient in something, then you add in what you are missing.

I've been vegetarian for over a decade.  And I get blood work done.  I'm not deficient in anything.  I don't have thyroid problems (and I know that because I do get regular bloodwork).

But I'm not afraid of dairy or whole grains.

As a caveat, I don't care if people eat meat.  I don't eat meat for personal reasons.  I think a person can be health with meat in their diet or without.  But in either case, balance and moderation and variety are important.  If you were a vegetarian who severely restricted your diet and didn't get a lot of variety, then I would say that was likely the problem.  And it is possible to be vegetarian and still get variety.  On the flip side, I think with the paleo fad, there are people who eat entirely too much meat and rule out too many other foods.

That is what this thread is about, ridiculous fads that people think are healthy.   Even the PP who says her husband was fat as a vegetarian and slim on paleo.  Well, it's likely that he ate more when he was vegetarian but when he adopted the paleo diet, he restricted so much that he simply ate a lot less (much like when people go gluten free).  He probably didn't have to go paleo to lose weight; he just had to eat less.

And I know people who are paleo and still don't lose weight -- or don't lose and keep it off.  And so they don't get the skinny they want but they do get really constipated.[/quote]
