EatKit nutrition chat on Twitter - Paleo and pop diets

EatKit Feb 2012

Our first EatKit topic for 2012 was on 15 Feb and was a lively debate of the pros and cons of the trendy Paleo ("Caveman") diet.

Paleo and pop diets

The questions posed:

Q1. How popular is the Paleo Diet with your friends or clients?

Q2. What types of Paleo are you trying out? No or minimal grains? No or low dairy? Alcohol?

Q3. Does Paleo work because you’re cutting out “junk” eg soft drink, white rice, cereals?

Q4. Is Paleo code for gluten-free?

Q5. What other pop diets are on your radar?
