Hi
I've read two paleo books now. Neanderthin and Loren Cordains book. The two contradict each other when it comes to fat, i wonder if you guys can help me?

Neaderthin states that saturated fat is healthy and was and still is abundantly available in meat. He does say, however, that this is only if omega 3 fatty acids are made up for in our diet, either with fish or supplements. He says in the past we ate all the fat on the carcass, this was healthier because of the higher levels of omega 3. Not only that but we would eat less of the leaner meat on the carcass in favour of the fattier meat.

Loren Cordain says meat was a lot leaner then so only the leanest cuts of meat should be eaten today, along with fish or omega 3 supplements. So Loren advises a lower fat diet in favour of more veg and fruit and neanderthin suggests more fat and less fruit. Loren has decided saturated fat is evil and neanderthin thinks its great.

So experts, which is it? I have no idea, however - neanderthin makes sense for people in colder climates. Loren is a top notch paleo expert however. So he SHOULD know a great deal more about it than the neanderthin guy. Any help?

Also, can you eat whey protein on this diet? Lastly, is it easy to overdose on vitamin d, I want to know whether its worth taking a supplement. Thanks
