Omnivorous Raw Paleo Diet / best single vegetable to add to a carnivore diet?
« on: November 30, 2010, 01:12:19 am »
I currently eat the same way Lex does, with the exception that my fat supplement is KerryGold butter vice rendered tallow. Another exception is that I almost always buy grain-fed beef.
Because of this latter exception, i wonder if adding a vegetable or two to the mix might be advisable.
Therefor, I seek nominations for vegetables which would:
1. be low in carbohydrates
2. be likely in the REAL WORLD OF COMMERCE AS EXISTS NOW, not just in a 50-year old USDA lab analysis, to actually be micronutrient-packed.
3. have low flatus-generating capacity
I have zero indications or symptoms that I have any "deficiencies" in my current diet. What I want to avoid though, is confirmation bias - the tendency to always look for anecdotes and/or valid experiments which agree with a currently held belief.
to be true to science, we must at all times be aggresively seeking to disprove that which we believe to be true. Thus my interest in considering a change.
