After reading "How safe is the Paleo diet?", I have learned that fad diets are not the way to achieve weight loss. It was interesting to learn that even though the Paleo diet recommends fruit and vegetables to help achieve weight loss, and a lower carbohydrate consumption to lessen the chance of high blood glucose levels, there's no guarantee you will drop pounds. Besides these factors, a study conducted on mice, revealed that an increase in glucose intolerance, insulin, and extreme weight gain were inevitable. Overall, the study showed that eating a large amount of fatty foods is not favorable for your health. I was surprised with this conclusion, simply since society has generally told us that carbohydrates and sugars should be eliminated
