Macro and micronutrient differences of AD—libitum palaeolithic vs Australian guide to healthy eating diets

Abstract

s / Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism 1 (2014) 1e55 26 out/in social situations, higher emotional eating, and lower knowledge regarding the effect of diet on health (all p < 0.001; consistent across subgroups). Conclusions: Diet and nutrition education present an important target for primary care of people with SMI. Targeting at-risk populations also presents an opportunity for prevention. Although research has identified the contribution of individual nutrients to mental health, further research needs to elucidate the role of whole diet and nutrition and mental illness.

Genoni) Background/Aims: To investigate the differences in the macronutrient composition between the palaeolithic and AGHE Diet. Methods: Thirty nine healthy women (mean ± SD age 47 ± 13 years, BMI 27 ± 4 kg/m2) were randomised to either the palaeolithic (n1⁄4 22) or AGHE diet (n 1⁄4 17) for 4-weeks. A 3-day weighed food record (WFR) was collected preand post-intervention. WFR were analysed using FoodWorks (AUSNUT2007, Xyris Software, QLD, 2012). Within group analysis was performed using paired t-tests, between group analysis was conducted using Mann-Whitney and independent t-tests. Results: The palaeolithic group had a lower intake of carbohydrate (28 ± 8% vs 41 ± 9% of energy, p < 0.05), and higher intake of fat (40 ± 10% vs 33 ± 7%, p < 0.05) and protein (27 ± 7% vs 22 ± 6%, p < 0.05) compared to AGHE. Within group analyses showed reductions in saturated fat intake in both groups (p < 0.05) but no change to dietary fibre or total sugars. Within the palaeolithic group, there were significant reductions in energy, thiamin, riboflavin, sodium and calcium and increases in vitamins C, E and bcarotene (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: Despite the reduction in carbohydrates due to the removal of whole grain cereals and dairy, fibre intake was not impacted in the palaeolithic group. However, significant reductions in B vitamins and calcium were seen. Further research to explore the health implications related to long-term palaeolithic dietary patterns are recommended.
