Does the paleo diet food pyramid is better than the Med diet? Wanna be a caveman?

If you were a caveman you could lower diabetes risks…but You live in a City and eat like a Mediterranean I’ve wrote some times ago, there are a lot of similarities with the Paleo diet and the Mediterranean diet.

They have the basis to eat:

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Little meats
  • Fish

A research proved that the simple diet of the caveman is the “best choice to control diabetes 2”.

The study was conduced on 2 groups of participants who followed the Paleo diet and the Med diet for 3 months had these results. The Med diet group had a much higher intake of grains and dairy products.

The blood sugar rise in response to carbohydrate intake was markedly lower after 12 weeks in the Paleolithic group (–26%), while it barely changed in the-Mediterranean group (–7%).  At the end of the study, all patients in the Paleolithic group had normal blood glucose.

Substances in grains and dairy products have been shown to interfere with the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat in various studies.

Ok Maybe the paleo diet is more indicated for people with Diabetes 2 but…could you eat lean meat, sushi everyday and drink crude milk?
