There's Nothing to Eat


Do you ever feel this way when you open your fridge?  Every week the media is publicizing a different report that says that X is bad for you and you should be eating Y instead.  But then two weeks later Y is bad for you and X is the better choice.  You start to wonder if there is anything that you can eat.

I have been gobbling up a ton of information about paleo/primal eating lately.  In everything that I read there are a ton of scientific information to show that the paleo/primal way of eating makes sense.  But then again for every study that says you should eat one way there is another study saying that is a sure fire way to an early grave.

A few years ago my doctor told me that my cholesterol was borderline high.  Her response was to cut back on the red meat and my fat intake.   Everything that I read in the paleo information says that is the wrong approach and that I should be cutting out the carbs.  Surely all these people have the same scientific research available to them to be able to figure out and agree on which approach is correct?

How is the average person supposed to be able to process all this information and decide which study is the more accurate and reliable and which one is just crap? 


I have decided that while scientific research is great it just doesn't matter to me anymore.  What matters to me now is the way I feel when I eat things.  Grains make me feel bad, bloated and keep me up at night.  When I don't eat grains I feel good, have more energy, get lots of sleep.  It really is that simple for me now.
