By far the most common question we get everyday is “What’s the difference between the Paleo Diet and Eat By Design?”

Did you see it?

Were you surprised?

I certainly wasn’t.

Quite predictable actually.

Just another example of how major media no longer works for the consumer but instead for the advertisers.  They are no longer out to supply us with good high quality, objective, fact based articles but instead will print or post, almost anything to satisfy those who pay their bills…the advertisers.  I don’t blame them, its just reality.

It boggles my mind that someone would do this. And probably worse, that they continue to do it.

I mean if you’re in the flax business, is it not ok for me to assume that you know something about your product and the claims your are making? That just maybe, you’ve done some research and at some level understand essential fatty acid metabolism?

I mean thanks to Google all it takes is 0.44 seconds to do a quick search.

Go ahead and give it a try. 0.44 seconds is all it takes for Google to come up with thousands of articles, (many with links to research in peer-reviewed, refereed journals) clearly showing that flax is not a good source of omega 3 fatty acids.

With so many new people joining our practice lately, and many more re-committing to eating By Design with “New Year’s Inspiration’ we thought it would be good to film a quick little re-cap of the 10 principles of eating By Design.
