After watching the youtube video Shit Paleo People Say, I think I may be ok labeling myself as a Swiss Paleo. I’ve been eating a lot of dairy lately yet I still naturally avoid grains and legumes.
I’m kidding…
Kind of. For the past 3 years and for the foreseeable future, grains and legumes don’t naturally play any part of what I eat. But local dairy that comes from cattle you know was raised humanely and has been grass-fed? Boom! I’ve been eating ice cream on the daily and lots of cheese. Not to mention I’ve always been a huge fan of butter. I sometimes go for quality yogurt too.
My favorite lines from the video
Each paragraph is a segment. And each set of quotes represents one person talking.
After she opens up the fridge and grabs Applegate Farms bacon (each time)… “Yea breakfast. Yea lunch. Yea dinner.”
“Conventional wisdom.” ”Uh, I know right.”
“Fructose is the real villan.”
“That’s yogurt. You eat dairy?” ”Yea, it’s no worries. I do Swiss Paleo.”
“I wonder what the worst thing that could happen to a person is.” ”In-fla-mation.”
“Hey, I got questions for ya. Are sweet potatoes Paleo? What about coffee? What about grass-fed dairy? Is that Paleo?” ”Well, maybe.” ”Oh, yea? Well what about wild rice after a haaaaaaard kettlebell workout? What about gluten-free soy sauce with (I have no idea what was then said – something about gibis?)… Is that Paleo?” ”Uhhhhhh” ”Hey, another question. Am I aloud to smoke stevia leaf? Is that Paleo? Can I keep an iPhone 5 that I found in a coconut tree?” ”A lot of your questions don’t make sense.”
“Corn syrup is everywhere. Check your pockets.”
As he stares at his computer screen: “Stop vilifying saturated fat!” Then he drinks straight up animal fat. It looked like lard or tallow. “Yuuuuuum.”
“You know, ever since I went Paleo, I never get sick anymore. It’s like I’m invincible.” ”I know. I sleep 27 hours a night. I feel amazing.”
“So I’m on day 7 of the Whole30 and day 6 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox and I like totally had this n=1 realization that my K2, D3 and O3-O6 is totally locked down given that the 80-20 rule is more like 100-0 right now.”
“You’re eating a taco?” ”Yea it’s no worry. I do Mexican Paleo.”
“The food pyramid is what they want you to believe.” Followed up by eating Kerrygold butter like it’s cheese. “Yum.”
“Alright so what do you think is the best way to burn fat?” ”Oh you want to lose weight? Have you tried cold-thermo-intermittent-bulletproof-fasting while eating only MCT’s and raw bison hearts?” ”Isn’t that a bit extreme?” ”No!”
“I eat more veggies than most vegetarians.” ”Me too.”
“So what’s with the goggles anyways?” ”Perhaps they block (what?) blue light from electronic devices thereby facilitating pre-bedtime melatonin production.” ”I think they just look like regular swim goggles.” ”You can’t prove anything!”
Do you have a sense of humor?
Hopefully you laugh out loud while watching this video. To me, it is down right hilarious. It paints a clear picture. There is no wrong or right way to live life but I must ask: what is life without laughter?
