Not surprisingly, this has led to a great deal of handwringing among conventional physicians and dietitians who are concerned about the food pyramid being abandoned for so-called “fad diets” such as the Paleo Diet, despite the fact that this and other gluten-free diets have benefited so many.
As an ‘almost’ vegetarian myself, I often get asked how I can consume enough protein just eating plants in order to be healthy.
