Thank you for sharing your helpful writings. I must ask a question

(again)--what am I missing here? The " 8 Paleo Principles for Athletes " seem

absolutely no different that the dietary recommendations we RD's have been

promoting for the last 10 years, at least. Why must we call these " Paleo

Principles " other than to sell the book of someone who packaged the

recommendations for sale, complete with a theory to support (evolution)?

" 8 Paleo Principles for Athletes:

1.. Eat whole, natural foods instead of the processed kinds.

2.. Enjoy plenty of fruits, vegetables and nuts, and limit refined grains and

sugars.

3.. Increase consumption of lean protein, such as skinless poultry, fish, game

meats and lean cuts of red meat.

4.. Up your omega-3 fatty acids from fish, walnuts and other sources.

5.. Avoid trans-fats, and limit saturated fats by eliminating fried foods,

hard margarine, commercial baked goods, and most packaged and processed snack

foods.

6.. Substitute monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (like olive and canola

oils) for saturated fats (such as butter).

7.. Avoid high-fat dairy products and processed meats, such as bacon, sausage,

and deli meats.

8.. Drink water as your main fluid. "
