The Human Genome<\/a> project is one of my geek out moments; I love reading about that project and the subsequent research. We have somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000 genes in our DNA. That\u2019s a lot of variation! Can we really advocate that an entire planet with its vast array of resources shifting from warm to cold climates all eat the exact same thing? Does it really make sense to say that our DNA around the globe isn\u2019t varied enough to subscribe to different diets? Do you really think nothing significant in our DNA has changed in two million years?<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt just seems a bit far-fetched to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eat What Feels Right To You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Every mainstream diet can point to a slew of success stories and evangelists who think it\u2019s the best thing ever. At the end of the day, you\u2019re not going to know what diet is the most successful for you until you start doing it. From Mediterranean to Weight Watchers to Paleo, they all work well for some people and not as well for others. This is not just about DNA; we need to interact with our loved ones and continue within the framework of our lifestyles. All factors need to be taken into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should you do Paleo? Sure, why not \u2026 Check with your doctor or an RD to make sure you\u2019re healthy and give it a go. But if it just doesn\u2019t seem to be right for you, know that that\u2019s okay and feel free to try something else. Sometimes it\u2019s not us failing the diet, but the diet failing us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you think? I\u2019m sure I\u2019m gonna get bombed by the Paleo folks so have at it \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent US News and World Report article surveyed 22 experts and ranked the diets. One surprise which caused an outcry in certain circles was that Paleo was dead last. The experts point to one \u201cthin study\u201d to show that not a lot of research had been done on this diet and that it was pricey and difficult to …<\/p>\n
