Comments on: An In Depth Review of: The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson http://www.thedreamlounge.net/2009/08/09/an-in-depth-review-of-the-primal-blueprint-by-mark-sisson/ The Blog of Anthony Dream Johnson Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:57:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Regev Elya http://www.thedreamlounge.net/2009/08/09/an-in-depth-review-of-the-primal-blueprint-by-mark-sisson/comment-page-1/#comment-98522 Regev Elya Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:00:18 +0000 http://www.thedreamlounge.net/?p=509#comment-98522 Great review..! I'm becoming more and more presold to go and buy the book. I believe I understand the concept, but there is still something that bothers my mind. Most of the time, we can make zero conclusions from human evolutionary history to their optimal nutrition. I mean, evolution needs 'pressure' in order to work its magic, and no matter what you're gonna eat, you will most likely reach the age of reproduction, and thus pass your genes forward. What happens next - cancer/heart disease/whatever, does not matter one bit, since the offspring is already out there with the genes. How can Mark claim that this nutrition is optimal? Even if our primal ancestors would eat the modern diet, they would still survive and make it to these days, without any adaption to this diet, since no one would die before having offspring. Great review..!

I started the primal diet a couple of months back after my girlfriend convinced me that it would help my bipolar symptoms. Wow, was she right! I’m a believer in the primal way of life. It’s not a diet or a passing fad–it’s a life-change that makes so much sense for me. Along the path of learning about the primal way, I learned that depression is an inflammatory disorder. What causes inflammation in our bodies? Carbohydrates, of course! I was poisoning myself with every piece of bread or bowl of cereal; it made no difference that they were whole grains. Eating right isn’t the only change I made. Routine exercise, meditation and regular sleep patterns have become the norm making insomnia, fatigue and stress a thing of the past. This book really does offer the tools one needs to change your life! I highly recommend it! I just finished reading TPB.

Any ideas on how their thinking is incorrect because I know that starch should not be a part of this diet? I am really just looking for some kind of proof to let me know that I will not have trouble with stomach pains or digestive issues when I remove the rice and potatoes that have starch. I did previously believe they help to digest the fat and stuff but if you are doing fine without it, it must not be a digestive problem in the first place or do you have something else within your diet that aids in digestion?
