Paleo Diet Guinea Pig Project

[PaleoPhil]

For those who are interested about the Paleo aspect of RPD, it looks like the folks at guineapigproject.com are going to be testing out a Paleo diet on a human guinea pig in the near future and report the results. "Jeff" from their site mentioned it in a comment on an article that is a lame attack on Paleo:

I think with any of these types of things there has to be care taken before bashing a point of view. If you don't have the scientific base to argue the reasons why not and you haven't tried it properly yourself you can't really say.

We have a guinea pig who is going to test it out along with an exercise program and document everything the guineapigproject.com will track all the angles not just the results but how he feels, how easy it is to follow, the time it takes and the enjoyment of doing it. The first eating 'fad' we are going to try with him is paleo and we will see how that makes him feel.

Before you judge, learn about it, try it and comment from an educated point of view.

BTW, If you want you can vote for Paleo being a "solution" vs. a "fad" or "cult" at the site of the attack piece: http://www.diet-blog.com/10/poll_paleo_diet_-_cult_fad_or_solution.php

Voted solution, gotta represent

I don't think they grasp the raw part. If the guy cooks his food and eats crappy meat then he will most likely fail. I'd like to see how it turns out though.
