Free Range Eggs – Chickens that have been free to roam around, and feast on their natural diet of bugs, insects, and grass lay the highest quality eggs. I’m a staunch believer in natural sources of fat soluble vitamins and you will get four to six times more Vitamin D from a free range egg, as the hens get more sunlight. You also get three times more Vitamin E. In addition, free range eggs give you twice the Omega 3’s (although I have seen as much as 20 times more Omega 3), and seven times more beta carotene.
This data was a result of the 2007 Mother Earth News egg testing project. You can read more about this at www.motherearthnews.com. There are many more benefits to free range eggs, as this is only a few. As with the grass fed beef, whole free range eggs never come out of your diet, even pre-contest for those looking to reach the absolute lowest levels of bodyfat.
Wild Caught Salmon – Perhaps no food is better at supplying healthy Omega 3s than wild caught salmon. These salmon have been fed their natural diet of tiny shrimp-like creatures called Krill, which not only gives them their lovely reddish orange color, it also gives them the big dose of Omega 3 that we all desire. Be careful when you’re shopping to not pick up “Farm-Raised” Salmon. These Salmon have been enclosed in pens and fed a very unnatural diet of corn meal, soy and even chicken feces pellets. They aren’t even orange until artificial dyes and colors are added, they are grey.
There are several different types of wild caught Alaskan salmon for you to choose from. Sockeye Salmon, Chinook/King Salmon, and other varieties, plus you can get the Sockeye or Pink Salmon canned. These are all good, as long as they are wild-caught. You will get around 2.5 – 3 grams of Omega 3 per every 7 ounces.
Raw Grass Fed Dairy – The same things that applied to grass fed beef, applies to grass fed dairy. You get more CLA, and Omega 3s. The Journal of Dairy Science did a study in 1999 on CLA in grass fed dairy, and found that it contains 500 percent more CLA than cows fed grain.

So, you are taking the ideas behind the Paleo diet, renaming it and claiming this was your hard work that discovered this? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read.
And ‘mountain dog diet”? Dumb. I am glad more people are catching on to the positive effects from eating Paleo, but someone hijacking the diet as their own is just absurd.
If you go to the end of the article you will see that we credit John Meadows for this diet. Also you are probably not reading well since you say it’s paleo diet. John never said he stopped eating salt, grain, legumes, and dairy like the paleo believers do. The only thing he cut is the refined foods and simple sugars.
Glad someone said it because it was exactly the same thing I was thinking. As each point came up I was like wow this sounds like Paleo but there must be something setting it apart… The only thing is the name
