Paleolithic Diet - Anyone on it?

[Kinvig]

On Thursday I took a girl to a new age health food restaurant. It only served raw food or food that had been cooked at less than 48 degrees. It cost a lot of money. It was poncey & in Highgate. It seemed a bit ludicrous & the 48 degrees didn't make any sense (to me).

Anyways pondering diets/lifestyles & watching Ray Mears something occured to me. Our ancesters survived for millenia on meat & berries - that's what our bodies are designed for.

So, I'm going to give it the pepsi challenge....okay cave men didn't have pepsi, I'm going to give it the ox-blood challenge.


Anyone been on it? Advice? Can you still drink beer?

[dissuade]

that sounds all kinds of disgusting. does that mean no meat? or do you have to eat raw bacon sarnies?

[Ruffy]

It only served raw food or food that had been cooked at less than 48 degrees.
Sounds like a recipe for food poisoning to me.

48 deg or less? Didn't know paleolithic man could control his fire that well!!!:confused:

[neio79]

didnt live long the cave peeps did they? maybe partly cos their diet was crap!!

[Kinvig]

The nu-age place in Highgate was 48 degrees or less - I thought that that was stoopid!

...But it got me thinking about putting the right foodstuffs down my cake hole - hence my reasoning that the stone age diet would be the best diet for modern man as he has the same genetic make up as our pre-neolithic ancestors....

Look at the range of foods you can and cannot (well, should not) eat under that diet.

You are looking at a serious increase in your monthly food bill! No more consuming any of the usual 'Bulking out' foods in our diets.

Very 'Atkins Like', boost protien intake and drop carbs almost off the menu.

Whoa! Rewind!

Fire is a sight hotter than 48 degrees.

I think they're all talking balls.


P.s If you're trying to pull why did you take her to a "new age" restaraunt. You'll come over like some wierd ar$ed hippy.

I cook my food on a bbq at temperatures rangin from ambient: bloody hot.

As it is meat it tastes superb, thinking on BBQing a lamb joint this weekend, a hell of an experiment on a GBP15 BBQ.

PS What did the girl choose off the menu? And where did you go for dessert ;)

[yorkie_chris]

But more than 48 degrees :-P

Lamb sounds nice BBQ'd

[Ed]

Dirk, you're barking:smt043

[ooger]

48 degrees?

Thats about the temperature a steak might get to if you left it on the back seat of the N8 night bus on a Friday with a few intermittent bottoms on it, isn't it?

I don't fancy that much.


The words "lukewarm" and "meat" are never good when combined.


Do girls like this? I am confused.

Wiki tells all...

I can see the logic but they miss the point that if cavemen were healthy it's because they did lots of exercise.

I'd reckon the science behind nutrition is fairly well understood these days, and if I want to get healthier then I'll train more and maybe go see a nutritionist (if thats what yer calls em ... i think my cousin had one when he was swimming professionally) I wouldn't be consulting any "new-age" anythings.

Yeah - Coolgirl's right - let's get this topic back on track now...

... so Dirk, this date you had? :twisted:

[gettin2dizzy]

Why would you want to do it :scratch: ?

As for health, we're living longer now than we ever were :thumbsup:

[Foey]

Aha, but is that because of our diet, looking at the number of lardies that are always in the local Mc D's & the number of ready meals that keep disapearing of Tesco's shelves i'm not so sure, or is it due to the rapid advances in medicine.

I don't see many old lardies though! But then again I've never seen a pregnant chinese woman. :scratch:

Come to think of it neither have i...............now that is wierd. :scratch::scratch::scratch:

[Kinvig]

Well breakfast consists of:

Sausages
Eggs
Tomato
and mushrooms
Orange & mango juice

Technically, I shouldn't be eating sausages as they contain salt & wheat - but it's early days.

Frying all the food together with veg oil - which strictly I shouldn't be doing as it recommends only Olive Oil...and I'm not sure about being allowed to fry it. However, it's early days......


So, basically, I'm having a cave-man's fry up.

[gettin2dizzy]

You have toooo much time!

They don't exist. No one has!

I thought cooked food had to be kept hotter than 63 deg.C, to prevent food poisoning (if its cooked)...?

Sounds like tosh to me. Just eat a bit of everything, and you'll be fine.

you're getting me wrong!!!!

The 48 degree place was some crazy new-age thing that I thought was preposterous!


...but it got me thinking about what I *should* be eating so I decided upon the Stone Age Diet....nothing to do with people in Highgate cooking (vegetarian) food at less than 48 degrees....still they did do good chocolate cake!

[Alpinestarhero]

oh i seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so you wanna tidy up your diet, not go on this crazy diet of food poisoning

gotcha.

I think I'll have something fried for lunch :D

[dissuade]

chocolate cake has eggs in, no? cooked at less than 48 degrees? no, thanks.

if you really want to be on a diet, i can give you my menu schedule, I have managed to misplace 3kg somewhere unintentionally in the last 2 weeks and I feel like a million bucks.

I think that theybent their own rules - they also served green tea & the kettle appeared to contain boiling water....

You can make a cake without eggs!
