I listen to the podcasts from Robb Wolf.

Much of the paleo diet is avoiding dairy, legumes and grains. I tend to follow the Weston A. Price diet which is similar except major differences are:
  • Raw unpasturized dairy is ok
  • grains and legumes that have been soaked/sprouted are ok.
Aside from that, it is very similar. Both are not afraid of saturated fats and though paleo/weston a price differ, compared to everything else, they are 95% in alignment.

After listening the podcasts from Robb, I found he is not the zealot that I thought he was. In episode #69, he did not disagree with the doctor promoting raw mik and he himself eats out a few times a week and may have beans with Mexican.

Loren Cordain was whom Robb studied under at CSU. Loren was on another podcast and recomended striving for 18 out of 21 meals/week paleo. I guess my point is two of the best known voices in the paleo movement are not unreasonable.

I have been doing the Weston A Price/Paleo now for 1.5 months and love it.
