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.
