After hearing this podcast I realized how unhealthy a paleo diet can be and how it can bring on many diseases. I agree with the methods like eating whole foods, getting carbs from plants, and fats from nuts instead of oils for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I learned how infusing colour into a healthy diet and trying different vegetables is very good. I also learned that eating more prebiotics from veggies like beans and probiotics can keep your gut flora healthy.
Such important information to understand!
I agree with the tips listed in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes: being aware of where one is getting their macro nutrients, get calories from whole foods, get proteins from legumes and seeds, get carbs from plants and get fats from
nuts and avocado. I disagree with the fact that we should replace all our protein with plant protein instead of animal protein.
On what basis do you disagree with protein from plants?
Thank you Brenda and hope to see you again
Very interesting
