We Love Paleo Page #11

if they're fixed,

and they're healed

instead of giving them drugs

and telling them,

"Sorry, you're just gonna

have to live in a wheelchair,

and this is your life,

and the quality of your life

doesn't matter."

Bullshit. Bullshit.

I'm sorry.

That's just not right.

The reason why Keith and I do

what we do here at Paleo f(x)

is to reach

as many people as possible.

I will get on the highest roof

and scream the loudest

if I have to,

but what I do is

to try to save as many people

as I possibly can.

And I feel like the reason

that I have to do that

is because conventional wisdom

has gotten us to this point,

and the only way out

is by helping people understand

there's a better way.

[Cain] At that time,

for me to find the Paleo diet,

I had to search, and search,

and search.

I wanted to get

more awareness out there.

It was like

it's harder to find,

and so I thought

it would be really easy to find

if it was just staring

at somebody on a... counter

or on a, on a magazine rack

at a checkout aisle.

And so, I thought,

"Okay, well, let's, um...

Let's just do the magazine,"

and my wife, of course,

thought I was an idiot,

because...

I have zero design experience

or...

publishing experience,

or anything.

I wanted to get

in front of people

where they needed it.

So, the guy or the gal

pushing out their cart

of processed crap

from whatever grocery store,

I wanted them to see a cover.

Hopefully, they look at it.

They grab it.

Those are the people

I wanted to see.

Not the CrossFitting, uh...

You know, person who's already

following Paleo kind of stuff.

I wanna provide information

for them as well,

but at the time,

I wanted to reach people

that maybe needed it more

than those people

that have kind of

already found it.

[Darryl] As human beings,

we have far more in common

with each other.

Regardless of where we're from,

regardless

of our racial heritage,

we have far more in common,

from a DNA point of view,

than what separates us.

And so, believing

that this diet

is optimal for humans,

I believe that anyone

and everyone will benefit

from the Paleo diet.

Paleo is for everyone,

and it should be for everyone.

I mean, there is

such a health care crisis

in this country

with obesity,

and chronic conditions,

and sickness,

that if everyone just paid

a little bit more attention

to what they put in their mouth,

I think we could

100% combat that.

If you wanna lose weight,

improve your performance

as an athlete,

everyone can get benefits

from it.

Changing your sleeping habits,

running outside,

or doing more movements,

reducing your stress

as much as possible,

actually getting

out in the sun regularly,

and getting in touch with nature

and being outdoors,

not using technology

as much as well.

Um, and I think

when people combine that

with the food,

they'll really feel

the positive effects

that it has on their wellbeing

and their sort of longevity.

Aging is about inflammation.

And if you keep your diet clean,

it's anti-inflammatory.

And so,

it is an anti-aging diet.

And it's designed

for the duration of your life.

You need to cut out the grains,

and you need to cut out dairy,

and you need

to cut out vegetable oils.

The first thing you do

is you start at zero, right?

You get rid of all the poisons,

you bring in the good stuff,

and you start from there.

Cutting out grains, and sugars,

and legumes, all that kind

of stuff,

and doing it

for 30 days is good.

Everybody should do that.

And that's just

because those are

the biggest-offending things,

or some of them are just...

horrible, food-like items

that nobody should eat anyway.

But you gotta pull

all that stuff out for 30 days

just to reset.

Because you can't listen

to your own body and...

"Oh, this makes me feel good.

This makes me feel bad."

Unless you get that baseline

kind of reset thing going.

Get rid of the all the poisons

and toxins in your environment.

Just think of it

as like spring cleaning.

Except that you haven't done

your spring cleaning

in 47 years, right?

Knowing what to look for.

Like, if you go into a shop,

it's really easy

to go down one aisle

and make a bad choice

than go down another aisle

and make a better choice.

Shift the emphasis

more towards foods

that are natural,

unprocessed, primal, Paleo,

generally lower-carb foods,

okay.

So, we're looking at things

like meat, and fish, and eggs,

and vegetables.

People over-complicate things.

It's just natural food.

It's just what you can

go and buy from your butcher's,

from your green grocer.

Try buying food and eating food

that still looks like what it...

like what it is originally,

like as the source of the food.

For some people,

if they even think about

cutting out a certain food,

they shut down.

So, I think

what I usually encourage

people to do is

just take baby steps

and not make it

so all or nothing.

Least one thing

that could be considered here

is to take the two main

meals of the day, say

lunch and evening meal,

and convert them into something

looking like Paleo.

Just try to replace

the idea in your head

that you cannot do that

with "I can do something

much better."

Just the fact that

you're reducing your reliance

on processed foods

and manufactured foods,

you're gonna be seeking food

from better sources,

is gonna improve your health.

Make a commitment

to learning how to cook

the foods that you like,

and you start to experiment,

and you take the time,

and you get on the Internet

and do some research.

You can buy some recipes books

or some cookbooks.

And then you stay with it

long enough

so that you can have

an intimate and intuitive

relationship with your own body

and to know whether things

are good or bad for you.

Take some blood panel work

and do a snapshot

before and after,

and then you can see

what the results are

for yourself.

See how you look, feel,

and perform.

I mean, you have nothing to lose

but to possibly...

get healthier,

feel better, lose weight...

you know,

if you have any diseases,

possibly reverse them.

Whatever the reasons behind...

Whether it's the science,

whether it's, you know,

another person's experience,

if that works for you,

and you're seeing an improvement

based on your blood work,

and based on, you know,

reduction in body fat,

and improvement

in body composition,

then it's something

you're likely to want

to continue.

I cannot make you worse

by giving you real food,

whole food.

I mean, you know,

what's the downside to that?

Even if you eat meat now,

then you're more likely

to chose better qualities,

and better cuts of meat,

and more healthy sources

of meat.

You recognize that what...

the animal that you eat,

whatever they're eating

also contributes

to their health.

You will just, I guess,

feel more in touch

with where your food comes from.

And I think

you don't need rocket science
