FAQs
Is there a one-size-fits-all diet?
No, not exactly. A lot depends on your health, your food history, what medications you may be on, your goals, your lifestyle and what's important to you. That's why working with a coach or professional can be helpful to iron out any difficulties you may encounter on the way to your end goal.
I'd like to change my diet, but don't know where to start. Could you advise?
Have a look at some good paleo resources. My personal recommendation is Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson. You'll be looking to ditch the vegetable oils, grains and sugars as a start. For those with autoimmune illnesses you may need to refine the diet further. Focus on a natural, whole-food diet. Think about the abundant diet you can have, not about the processed junk food you may be giving up.
But aren't carbohydrates essential?
There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. We have essential fats that need to be consumed, and daily protein requirements for maintaining muscle mass, but no such thing as essential carbs. The body can produce all the glucose it needs, and continues to do so even if you consume zero carbs.
If you have any other general questions then let me know, and I'll answer them in here later.
