Now is a good time to give it a go, if you can help me a bit. Are there any good substitutes for breads, grains, and cereals that helps diminish the craving for those foods?

This has got me curious, as to what a paleolitic diet is. I’m thinking leafy stuff? Or am I incorrect. I haven’t checked the link yet, so I’m just guessing.

But isn’t bread and grains the most important part of the food pyramid?

I knew a Doctor once who was against The Atkins diet or any low carb or no carb diet. Because a certain anount of carbs are necessary to a balanced diet.

I’ve heard some proponents of Atkins and the like say too many carbs are bad, and the food pyramid is wrong, and some even falsely claim that the food pyramid has been changed. Not true, though. The most current food pyramid still has breads and grains as the most important food group.

I can see some legitimate reasons for cutting or eliminating dairy though.

If you have this extra energy, how are you doing it without eating carbs?

And I’m wondering what the point/theory of this diet is?

Apples, that’s to keep the doctor away, right?

Seriously, though; what kind of apples? I like Granny Smith the best.

And I was just thinking that one time I bought some raisin bran from a health food store, and instead of the rasins being coated with sugar, they were coated with oat flour. They were actually pretty good, and still tasted fairly sweet.

This is going to sound like a horrible thing to say but; I tried different health foods, or what passed for health foods, and “fake meat” and the like before, some of it wasn’t too bad, and some of it I didn’t care for. But I just couldn’t stick to only eating that kind of stuff. I just craved “the bad stuff” too much.

I prefer exercise to diet in staying in shape. If I had to change what I ate, I don’t think I could stand it. I can eat smaller amounts, and I might be willing to eat something different, but I don’t want to give up any foods that I like.

But, power to people who can, I guess.
