8 Criticisms of the Paleo Diet

Bummer. I'm generally a paleo-eater, so I was hoping that the criticisms would be actual criticisms that were rebutted and that helped me understand paleo better. Instead it's a bunch of self-congratulatory stuff about the strengths of paleo...

Starting Dec 27, 2011 and ending Jan 19, 2012, I tried out the Keto diet (it's very similar to the Paleo Diet).

I started at 245lbs and ended up at 229lbs. In 24 days I lost 16lbs. While it's not a ginormous amount of weight to lose, it was still something, especially since I was eating 3 eggs + 4 strips of thick bacon for breakfast every day, plus many other foods that aren't traditionally thought of as "diet friendly".

I stopped the diet because I reached my goal: fit into my fancy suit to attend a birthday party in El Salvador, where I proceeded to gorge myself for two weeks on the high-carb delicacies that are the staple of their diet. I am now back at 240lbs and am thinking about going back into Keto, and this time mixing in some exercise as well.

There is so much cool-aid being drank in that post that its funny.
