A Paleolithic Diet Is More Satiating Per Calorie Than A Mediterranean

We found designated improvement of blood sugar tolerance and lower eating energy consumption in ischemic cardiovascular disease (IHD) patients after advice to follow a Paleolithic diet, as compared to a Mediterranean-like diet. We now report findings on subjective ratings of satiety at dishes and data on the satiety hormone leptin and the soluble leptin receptor from the same analysis. If you're new to the site, I encourage you to undergo it right from the start, as it is one of the most powerful tools to truly allow you as well as your family to take control of your health. If you're a Paleo Diet fan, you might be able to bounce in at the intermediate or advanced level, taking your wellbeing to an even higher level than you had before.

After 12 weeks, comparative changes in leptin correlated significantly with changes in weight and waist circumference (p < 0.001 for both) in the Paleolithic group, but there was no such correlation in the Mediterranean group (Physique 4 and 5 ). After 12 weeks, comparative changes in free leptin index also correlated significantly with changes in midsection circumference (p = 0.04) however, not with changes in weight in the Paleolithic group, and there is no relationship with either in the Mediterranean group. The relationship between cereal consumption without grain and comparative change in leptin continued to be significant when changes in weight were handled for, however, not when changes in stomach were manipulated for (data not shown).

Intermittent fasting: The Paleo Diet is supportive of intermittent fasting, although it does not specifically highlight it. However, intermittent fasting or scheduled eating” is one of the very most powerful interventions I know of to shed excess weight and lessen your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. There are many different modifications of intermittent fasting, but if you are like 85 percent of the populace and also have insulin resistance, my own advice is to fast every day simply by arranging your eating into a narrower window of time.

Interestingly, all of these seemingly unrelated diseases reveal a standard cause: damage to the intestinal lining which allows large, undigested food debris to make their way into the body. This is called leaky gut and the autoimmune response”. Here is a 7-part video series by Prof. Loren Cordain explaining the etiology of Multiple Sclerosis. And please watch this TED discussion by Dr. Terry Wahls, MD as she explains how she reversed her Multiple Sclerosis with a paleo diet. When you have an autoimmune disease you might consider using the autoimmune protocol of the paleo diet. If you do, please tell us about your experience.

Closely analyzing one band of modern hunter-gatherers-the Hiwi-reveals how much deviation exists within the dietary plan of a single small foraging society and deflates the notion that hunter-gatherers have impeccable health. Such evaluation also makes apparent the immense space between a genuine community of foragers and Paleo people moving into modern places, selectively shopping at farmers' marketplaces and making certain the dressing on the house salad is gluten, sweets and dairy free.
