Every paleo nerd in my crossift gym takes a mixed approach - like Sisson's 80/20 rule. Nobody is ready to give up beer.

You can look at the extremes by sampling the loudmouth bloggers and evangelicals, but based on my real-world Paleo experience, most of us are more moderate. I think people start off by being swayed by the extreme arguments, but over time, we find the most sustainable path.

What I've been shooting for is a focus on nutrient density, which means lots of raw veggies. I think overall nutrient density is more important than macronutrient ratios. A lot of my food intake comes from greens tossed in a Blendtec. I usually toss in some coconut oil or avocado to make it more filling and get some good fat. It's super convenient, which makes it more sustainable.

I think a lot of paleo folks screw up by eating way too much meat, and if they get it from a feedlot, then it's just all around bad.

Hey, what are Paleos saying about the latest red meat scare ?
