"The True You Diet"

[Crocus]

There was an article in our local newspaper on "The True You Diet". It looks quite interesting and the whole concept of this is about eating like forefathers have eaten in ancient times.

In his book, Dr. Briffa ( you probably know him as he is a well known British dr.) states that the ideal diet is based on what our ancient forefathers had in their diet. Up to 10 000 years ago people only had meat, fish, seafood, eggs, fruit, veggies and nuts and grains in their diet, and lots of water. This ancient diet also differed as to where people lived in those days. In the cooler regions people were mostly hunters and in the warmer regions people were "gatherers". In our DNS some of us are hunters who's systems digest fish and meat effectively while the "gatherers" digest carbohydrates more effectively.

Hi Crocus! It's me!

I have this book and recently have followed its advice more closely as I've developed wheat intolerance. If I do the questionnaire honestly, it tells me that I have might problems with wheat! I can recommend it to anyone interested in healthy eating. It's not the usual "cure all" approach that you get in a lot of these books and he backs up what he says with references.

Hi Redstart, I've noticed you're back! Very happy to see you here. Regarding this diet, as I've mentioned there was an article in our newspaper today, which caught my eye. Looks quite good and sounds more or less logic to me. I haven't given it any thought about a diet our ancient forefathers had, until I read this article. It really looks quite interesting. It seems it worked with you? x

In that case I would live on fish, meat, sloes and buckthorn. Sloes ok if they come in Gin:D Fish yes meat not too keen on that and buck thorn yuk!

Oh goodness me Ivy, so it's fish all the way for you, with a tiny piece of meat thrown in now and then......;)xx
