Paleo Women are Phat - "I think people in the Paleo community need to start acknowledging the fact that a woman who is healthy and fit for pregnancy is ultimately going to have a decent amount of body fat, which ideally should be around 26-28%. That’s a decent amount of junk in the trunk."

Josh Es Who praised it for being low calorie?
Laura Attales Read the article.
Josh Es No need, I wrote it. I think where you're getting confused is where I mention calorie density. Paleo diets often have a much lower calorie density's than the typical Western diet. The is nothing more than a factual observation.

CHEESESLAVE Hi, Josh I loved your article. I just followed you
Butyrate, and other short-chain fatty acids produced by gut bacteria**, has a remarkable effect on intestinal permeability. In tissue culture and live rats, short-chain fatty acids cause a large and rapid decrease in intestinal permeability. Butyrate, or dietary fiber, prevents the loss of intestinal premeability in rat models of ulcerative colitis. This shows that short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate, play an important role in the maintenance of gut barrier integrity.

Did the advent of agriculture and eating grains cause us to get shorter? According to this argument, it was not grains but rather climate change. "So, it's not just that the world was getting warmer, and animals getting smaller as a result (see Bergmann's rule and Allen's rule). It's also that the global climate was stabilizing after a long period of upheaval and chaos. The profile of selective pressures faced by our ancestors was changing in spectacular ways."

CHEESESLAVE Really interesting article!
CHEESESLAVE "Considering how many female athletes and body builders don’t menstruate and are therefore unable to bear children, we’ve got to realize that the notion of a woman having a six pack is not biologically appropriate. And isn’t the whole point of this Ancestral diet to support optimum levels of health, vitality, and ultimately fertility?"
Kayla Bohatch An interesting thing about these types of statues is that they were self-portraits made by women. They would look down at themselves and carve the statue based on what they of themselves, which is why statues of this sort typically do not have faces. I know it's completely unrelated to the topic but still neat!!
Kayla Bohatch *based on what they saw, sorry. That's the theory, at least lol.
Natalie Bradley No one actually knows who made this or what it's use was. It is thought to either be an art, or used as a fertility item, or in childbirth somehow.
