30 Day Guide to the Paleo Diet
Want some extra help? Have you been trying Paleo for a while but have questions or aren’t sure what the right exercise program is for you? Or maybe you just want a 30-day meal plan and shopping list to make things easier? We’ve created a getting started guide to help you through your first 30 days.

Robb I hope you can change your volume … Your guests have one volume and your voice is much quieter than theirs. Makes it very difficult to listen to the podcast.
Mehmet Bugra Balaban says
This was a good one. Ryan seems to understand that there are tons of stuff one can use unlike some people that join a cult and defend that until they are dead. I hope people can see that. Implementing things like fasting every now and then, eating carbs every now and then, importance of photo-modulation and fish oil, playing with more carbs in the morning or in the evening, etc. Good stuff. The episode was like a nice summary of things to try 🙂
Clint says
Great podcast as always. I remember you two talking about eating your bigger, carb rich meal in the morning, having a robust lunch, and a smaller dinner. Would this still apply to someone that works out between lunch and dinner? Right now I get up, drink coffee, maybe have an RX Bar for a light breakfast before lunch. Lunch is usually a huge salad with tin of sardines and an egg. I train around 5:00pm (running. 7-10 miles. Usually with intervals or some kind of tempo) and then sit down to dinner around 7-7:45pm. I normally steam up some veggies, roast a sweet potato, and cook some protein. I wouldn’t be opposed to throwing some kale, avocado, banana, beef collagen in a smoothie and having a lighter dinner if you think that would be more optimal. Thoughts?

I don’t know exactly how much you’re eating or what your goals are, but it sounds like you might already be eating on the light side of food amount as it is.
Marty Kendall says
Great podcast. He’s on smart dude!
Michael Acanfora says
Hi Guys, This was a fantastic, information filled podcast. Great job Robb!!! This one is in the pantheon with the all-time great!!! Thank you
Jim says
Outstanding. We should all be healthy in 10 – years from now with this knowledge. Do you per chance have the transcript?
Best,
Jim
Squatchy says
It will be coming very soon.
Jim says
Never mind. Found what I was looking for. The meaning of the word ‘thiol’.

Amazing podcast.

i thought the paleo diet was 95% cooked meat above the 40th parallel? meat increased brain, jaw, and nose size in early homo sapiens.
Charlie says
Re: 40th parallel and meat
It’s possible that the reliance on meat had an effect, but genus homo did an awful lot of evolving in warmer climates too. My understanding is that both meat and starchy root vegetables played a role in shaping us. Especially after the invention of cooking.
But I’m just some guy on the Internet. Maybe someone else here will have more solid references to the info.
Charlie says
Robb: one thing I like a lot about you is how you have the ability to shift gears in light of new information. Too many people can’t do that.
I have a question about eating early vs eating later. Sure, maybe there’s personal anecdotal reason to believe earlier is better, and it’d be fairly straightforward to set up a scientific study to that effect. But my instinct tells me it doesn’t fit the hunter-gatherer narrative.
Think about it. What is the most calorically dense food that our pre-agricultural ancestors would’ve had access to? Meat and starchy roots. What do those two have in common? They have to be gathered, which takes a while. Then, although technically edible raw, they’re much more digestible cooked. Cooking takes time.
So the H-Gs wake up, maybe nibble a little bit of leftovers from the night before (if the mice didn’t get it first), and venture forth to hunt and gather. Maybe they find some fruit or greens along the way and fill up while gathering extra to take home. Maybe, seasonally. The hunters catch an animal – if the gods are smiling on them that day. Either way they dig up a tuber on the way home. Then they cook the food, THEN they eat it.
It’s the only way it makes sense to me. Anecdotal support: I’m rarely hungry at all before 11am…
Now, if my narrative conflicts with biological reality at the population level, perhaps I need to shift gears too. Do you know offhand if any of the researchers studying modern hunter-gatherers have reported on their cooking methods and meal timing? Perhaps there’s something I’ve missed.
Charlie says
Thinking further about this, it makes me wonder:
1. Maybe our ancient ancestors shoved starchy roots into the hot coals late at night and ate them cold in the morning. Would be interesting to find out if there’s any archaeological record of this.
2. Evolution didn’t stop with the invention of farming… Maybe the peasant farmer or hunter-gardener narratives have more value on this matter.

I loved this talk. I live in the UK and find you have some great researchers on your podcast Robb. Thanks! Please keep them coming! I particularly liked this talk on methylation. It would be great to have a follow-on talk with Ryan Frisinger.
