Comments on: Cordain’s “The Paleo Diet” Then and Now http://whatsinwhatyoueat.org/2010/07/12/cordains-the-paleo-diet-then-and-now/ It is said you are what you eat, from your head to your feet. So why not know... What's in what you eat?

If you are looking at either consuming a little bit of aspartame or sending 50 grams of sugar through your body, I think in that case aspartame may be a little better. It is NOT good for you though and I avoid it at all costs. Yes aspartame is definitely bad for you.

I don't have any more weight to lose so I allow myself those veggies/fruits. Jicama does appear to be a root vegetable but it's not as bad as potatoes (11g carbs for a cup). I like it as a occasionally as a snack or dessert in slices sprinkled with some cinnamon. Thanks for the clarification. I don’t have any more weight to lose so I allow myself those veggies/fruits.

They are definitely nutrient dense and by all means paleo but better for some people than others. I don't know much about Jicama but from a search it (also known as Yambean) is pretty carb intensive, so again depending on your goals it may be fine for you.

I eat 2-3 servings of carrots a week, usually as "dessert" because they're so sweet now since I've dropped refined sugars. How do you feel about jicama? :) I noticed you mentioned carrots and tomatoes, I assume because of the sugar content?

When in a restaurant I simply tell them I am gluten-free and dairy-free. If possible I change any starches to vegetables. If not, then I make sure the starches are rice or potatoes. I never eat dessert, unless fruit is available. Instead I will simply eat more in the main or appetizer courses. One problem is if you allow cheats you will then spend time fantasizing about the next cheat. Better to get it out your system. Would you tell a recovering alcoholic that a occasional cheat is okay?
