NUTRITON:

I just saw some new article about top diets, as rated by supposed "experts." The authors gleefully noted that the experts hadn't listed paleo nutrition on there.

On one hand, I am glad to see it didn't make the list, since it is not a diet, but a lifetime nutrition plan. But, the authors decided it warranted a paragraph within the article regarding the omission.

They said the reason for the omission in top diets for 2014 was because it is too hard to adhere to. ...

My take? Big deal. Eating to support optimum health isn't designed to be convenient or cheap. Sorry, that is nature and economics, two subjects worth discussing that are way above my pay-grade.

I eat to THRIVE, not just SURVIVE, and I'm fully aware that in the age of gyms with "pizza night" putting effort into proper nutrition would definitely not rate high in any sort of popular list.

I will continue to maintain optimal body composition and strength levels and not worry about how my nutrition choices are rated by the media.
