Hello Linda. Welcome to the group, maybe we should have all have a healthy network meeting and see how we can help each other. What do you think guys?

Sounds like my kind of network.  We believe that laughter is also a fantastic way for people to combat stress and improve emotional and physical health.  Diane, perhaps can you help me over my chocolate addiction?

Hi All, I'm new to OBN and have just joined your Healthy Option Group.  I help people to reach their full potential with NLP and Hypnotherapy.  I run a 6 week healthy lifestyle course which includes healthy eating, exercise and positive thinking to make good choices. What are you all doing?

Cheers for your input Michael :) given me more to think about. I am shocked to see it rated so low though

Hi Tom, sorry for the delay in replying. It was a busy day yesterday... And a positive one too!
In answer to your question, I had to do a little research to be honest as I wasn't quite sure of the 'good versus bad' on this one. At first glance the Paleo way of eating looks good... In theory!
There is however conflicting reports on it. Although the "caveman diet" has a growing number of fans it is also fast becoming another fad diet. Supporters claim that paleolithic hunter-gatherers are largely free of diseases of affluence (a term sometimes given to selected diseases and other health conditions which are commonly thought to be a result of increasing wealth in a society) The critics however base a part of their argument on CT scans done on mummies from across 4 continents and dating back 5000 years who lived off a 'forager-farmer' and 'hunter-gatherer' diet show clear and similar indications of arteriosclerotic vascular disease. 22 experts ranked the Paleo diet lowest of the 20 diets evaluated based on factors including health, weight-loss and ease of following. These results were repeated in the 2012 survey, in which the diet tied with the Dukan diet for the lowest ranking out of 25 diets. I would also add that the nutrition levels in the food we eat today are unfortunately far less than they were 20 years ago, let alone 5000 years ago.
I would say based in that research there area far better diets that suit today's environment than this one.
Hope that helps Tom :)
