The New Evolution Diet

This was being promoted in The Sunday Times yesterday.

It basically says eat a variety of foods, like vegetables, meat, fish and eggs, nuts and fruit and avoid foods like grains, dairy, starchy foods, some fruit and soy beans.  It also advises taking exercise, most of which appears to be walking and simple arm and back exercises.  But then Dogtor J has been saying things like this for health in people and their pets for years.

Looking at it in more detaill, it is very close to what a coeliac might eat, except that I probably eat too many potatoes and bananas for the diet’s liking.

So have we coeliacs been right all along in avoiding grains like wheat and barley?

My late wife, C, wasn’t a coeliac, but she followed a virtually gluten-free diet, as she didn’t want to cook separately for me. She also did plenty of exercise.

In the end it didn’t do her any good, as she died of a very rare squamous cell carcinoma of the heart, but only a few months before she died, I took this picture on the beach in the Aeolian Islands.
