It had LESS fat and more protein and CARBOHYDRATES than we now eat."<br /><br /><br />His reference was of course Cordain (2005):<br /><br />"Both the current US macronutrient intakes and suggested healthful levels differ considerably from average levels obtained from ethnographic (20) and quantitative (21) studies of hunter gatherers in which dietary protein is characteristically elevated (19–35% of energy) at the EXPENSE of carbohydrate (22–40% of energy)"<br /><br />http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/81/2/341#SEC3<br /><br /><br />Oh yes.

Dairy products in any shape and form go down well. Yoghurt with small quant of dried fruit (6 raisins) and sprouted ground flax after dinner, cheese de rigueur in the lunch box. They have a snack break and a lunch break, jee! And my 6 year old comes home hungry two hours after her half sandwich made with sourdough white with butter and ham, or salmon paste or salami,and tomatoes. For breakfast eggs all week, except one day oats porridge with ground almonds and cream and a bit of jam (which is of course the attraction) or oats muesli in yoghurt. Dinner meat and green veg or not so often potatoes or rice. They like curry too. If I can I cut the bread.<br />So for their elevenses carrot and cheese and nuts or fruit for her, yoghurt for him.<br />I keep telling her we're not supposed to eat every two hours, she should fast. Ok, I'm joking.<br />I should stop rambling and go and make the pork meatballs for tomorrow's lunchboxes.<br /><br />Regardslightcanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050215395108869677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-2876787702565847322009-11-09T07:53:09.562-08:002009-11-09T07:53:09.562-08:00Neo,

Third child was not planned, so I can't rule out a fourth, especially now that they're more paleo (well, the mom anyway).<br /><br />lightcan, I struggle with the same issue of what to put in my 4yo daughter's lunch box every day she goes to day care. She likes cottage cheese and berries, so I always include those (usually strawberries). I try to include leftovers from the previous evening meal but she has very restricted tastes (which were set in place prior to our paleo lifestyle--oops!). I must make compromises. Today, for example, I gave her white bread (she won't eat sprouted now matter what!) with a small amount of fig jam and a large amount of almond butter for her primary lunch. I also slathered on some coconut oil (when she wasn't looking--otherwise she won't eat the sandwhich) to make sure she's getting enough saturated fat.<br /><br />Her bed-time snack consists of yogurt from grass-fed cows with some high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil in it. She won't eat that, however, unless I mask it with a teaspoon of Ovaltine mixed in. So you see, it's all about trying to provide healthy foods but with enough poison so that she'll actually eat the healthy food. Otherwise she won't eat anything, and my wife will not (yet) let me "starve" her to the point of accepting the paleo without the poison.<br /><br />One step at a time...Aaron Blaisdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204484453346358921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-41461542824755004052009-11-03T08:01:36.555-08:002009-11-03T08:01:36.555-08:00Lightcan,

I think it is wonderful you are starting off so early and training your young Paleo children before they become addicted to all the wheaty-goodness that exists today. <br /><br />Every once in a while my articulate little kids will ask for some 'poison please please please? make your famous blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream?' or 'REAL chocolate chip cookies'. My blueberry pie was quite awesome I have not found any replacements... oh *sigh* <br /><br />For boxlunches I've tried: free range teriyaki chicken legs, fried rice (mostly vegs, meat, eggs), salad with soft boiled eggs, leftover lamb or beef stew, gluten-free mac cheese (rare). I run out of ideas all the time. Usually it's just some meat and some rice (I know not Paleo) or potatoes.<br /><br />Would love to hear new ideas! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Scott,<br /><br />*haa*<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Aaron,<br /><br />Gestational diabetes is tough!!

Since my journey of going primal has affected my wife's diet as well, she's lost all of the baby weight she put on after having our second child a year ago. She's back into clothes she could only wear 5 years ago, before her first pregnancy. A friend of ours had her third child a few weeks ago, and for the last 3-4 months of her pregnancy she went low-carb primal. Saw her at a Halloween party on Saturday and she doesn't even look like she had been pregnant! But there she was, pushing her newborn around in the stroller. Her milk supply is much better than with the first two kids and the baby is such a great eater. Also, unlike the first two deliveries, the third one went so quickly and smoothly that the baby's head is still round (like that of a c-section baby) cause it spent so little time in the birth canal. Both she and her husband personally thanked me for all the primal therapy I gave them every chance I got. It is definitely tear-producing to find out how much positive change I could effect in these people's lives. There are definite benefits for the ladies to go low-carb primal. Keep up the great blog!Aaron Blaisdellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204484453346358921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-75175540949991250162009-11-02T14:11:12.646-08:002009-11-02T14:11:12.646-08:00Gio,

For me, mental tricks are often the only effective ways to break the inertia.<br /><br />Yes -- it is truly SAD -- I just came back from camp and all the adults brought sandwiches for the first meal. 90% of all 'healthy' meals was centered around a wheat dish (that probably cost 30 cents per person).<br /><br />I want to hear how your strategies work for you, and how your wife can't take her hands off of YOUR 6-PACK ABS later!! <br /><br />-GDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-26348448437788657952009-11-02T06:42:28.438-08:002009-11-02T06:42:28.438-08:00David,

I'm addicted), and rice or potatoes or chocolate a 1-2x per wk. <br /><br />We're semi-dairy free -- the soy milk is 'transitional'.<br /><br />There is a common misconception even among Asians that the Asians don't suffer from chronic conditions or obesity. Seriously, ALL of my Taiwanese relatives and ALL of my husband's Chinese parents and their friends have chronic conditions in their 50s or older -- hypertension, diabetes, heart attacks, afib, strokes, obesity. I think Japan is dealing with a 'metabo' campaign for central obesity (met syn).<br /><br />No one is immune. I think it is a fairy story. I have a couple of Asian patients -- they are the WORSE in terms of compliance -- never listen to anything from their doctors. Children in Asian countries have higher rates of obesity on the Western diet.
