“Hence the tenets of the Rice Diet are inconsistent with the best science of the 21st century,” Cordain said in an email. High-protein, low-carb plans like the Paleo Diet tend to do better at increasing the full-stomach feeling, reducing appetite and causing weight loss, said Codain, also a Colorado State University health and exercise science professor. “Because it’s not the latest and the greatest, I’m wondering if it kind of fell out of popularity.”Īny low-calorie diet will improve most measures of health, but “most people simply cannot follow low-calorie diets for extended periods, much less their lifetimes, as they are continually hungry,” said Loren Cordain, the author of “The Paleo Diet,” which advocates for eating like Stone Age humans and shunning cereal grains, potatoes and salt.
