Welcome to getbig my dear, I hope your post leads to helpful discussion about the Paleo Diet!

I trying 4 a month & reading anthropological evidence about Neanderthals diet, well regarding to anthropologist, the last Neanderthals stronghold was near Krapina (today's Croatia) 26-28000 years ago & they were 99% meat lovers (like Vince Gironda diet).
They munch on big bears,mammoth's & other megafona, none of those proteins in existence today :P.

as long as you leave out the ultra-radical "not cooking your food" thing some paleo people believe in, it's a good way to go. grains are pretty much the bane of modern existence.

Humans evolved for over one hundred thousand years without very many sources of carbs. Our bodies adapted to that diet, and like you said all these grains and sugars aren't good human food.

i agree, they're terrible and cause a multitude of health problems. my ex is a doctoral student in anthropology, she showed me the massive spike in dental problems and bone issues that started occurring right around the time when grain agriculture became a thing.
we do need some carbs but there are other sources. it's amazing how carb-centric our modern diets have become

On a wheat-free paleo diet for 3 years now and feel great. All my physical problems cleared up. Besides being ugly, unfortunately.

36-26-40. That's a bold statement my friend. Quite bold indeed.
The Paleo diet? Give it a go for six weeks and see how you feel. If you're feeling good- you've got a winner. If you go insane and start eating pine cones-no real damage done.

Moron diet.

Not true at all. Homo Sapiens were gatherers/foragers for the most part.

What kind of carb sources were available? You know the fruits and vegetables we have today are a result of selective breeding over hundreds (or thousands in some cases) of years.
I eat like you do, I'm not saying people shouldn't.

fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks

Primitive, Sparsely growing, tiny, and shriveled up wild fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms... The occasional insect larvae and mollusks that humans may have occasionally come by, compared to our steady supply of modern Corn Syrup, Russet Potatoes, Flour, Cereal, etc... :P

You would be much healthier eating Russet Potatoes and Flour, Cereal with Marshmallows and Big Mac`s than eating a true Paleo diet. In fact, you probably would suffer "rabbit starvation" or would die of eating something toxic or rancid if you tried to eat "like our ancestors". Truly a stupid gimmick concept followed by morons who don`t know much about humans or evolution for that matter.

They're putting fucking carbs in our carbs so we can die while we die. But in all seriousness, it's crazy how everything's got to be infused with some sort of corn based product or sugar.
When I first started reading food labels like 5-6 years ago my mind was blown. Even in Canada I've noticed a steady progression. Anything in a package has corn or sugar in it. I try cooking damn near everything I eat.

Don`t understand what gatherer and forager mean? ???

I don`t understand your misplaced fear. What are you talking about? How does one go about making Moravian Sugar Cake without Sugar? ???
-
All I read about the diet was:
Eat:
Grass-produced meats
Fish/seafood
Fresh fruits and veggies
Eggs
Nuts and seeds
Healthful oils (Olive, walnut, flaxseed, macadamia, avocado, coconut)
Don't eat:
Cereal grains
Legumes (including peanuts)
Dairy
Refined sugar
Potatoes
Processed foods
Salt
Refined vegetable oils

Don't get me wrong. I don't vilify sugar or carbs, but everything off the shelf is laced with it, in Canada at least. I cook twice a day and bake at least a couple of times per week. I use sugar 4-5 times per week, but I like it only when I choose. I don't like it tucked away in everything. It pushes consumers towards expensive, shitty and over priced organic foods a lot of the time. It makes shopping a chore.
Close to nothing we eat is packaged, but fuck me running if I want to buy anything packaged. First ingredient is sugar or a carb, plus 10 other saccharides. Even a lot of good sushi places in town are pressuring their chefs to lace their rice with tons of sugar. Keep that shit for sale in a convenience store! :-X

yeah i feel you man. first thing my parents noticed when we all moved to america was how fucking sweet everything is. but sugar and corn syrup are cheap so they put it everywhere. i'd even go so far as to say it's a way to get people addicted so they can buy more food, but most people call me paranoid.
