Believe it or not, our DNA is almost exactly the same as that of
our ancestors. While scientific advances in agriculture, medicine,
and technology have protected man, to some degree, from dangers
such as starvation, illness, and exposure, the fact remains that
our cave-dwelling cousins were considerably healthier than we are.
Our paleolithic ancestors did not suffer from heart disease,
diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. In fact, a good deal of
what we view as normal aging is a modern condition that is more
akin to disease than any natural state of growing older.
Our predecessors were incomparably better nourished than we are,
and were incredibly physically fit. And certainly none of them ever
craved a doughnut, let alone tasted one. In fact, the human
preference for sweet tastes and fatty textures was developed in an
environment where such treats were rare, and signaled dense, useful
energy. This once-helpful adaptation is the downfall of many a
dieter today. It's what makes it hard to resist fats and sweets,
especially when they are all around us.
We are not living as we were built to live. Our genes were forged
in an environment where activity was mandatory--you were active or
you starved or were eaten. This created strong selective pressure
for genes encoding a smart, physically adept individual capable of
very high activity levels. Humans are among the most active of
species, and we carry energetically expensive brains to boot. Our
energy expenditures rank high among all animals. At least they once
did. "" "The New Evolution Diet" is a roadmap back to the better
health our ancestors once enjoyed. By eliminating modern foods,
including carbohydrates, dairy, and all processed foods from our
diets, we can undo much of the damage caused by our modern food
environment. The plan is based on three simple principles:
1. Enjoy the pleasure of food and do not count or restrict
calories. Eat three satisfying meals a day filled with non-starchy
vegetables, fruits, and high-quality, lean proteins
2. Do not starve yourself, but do go hungry episodically, for brief
periods, to promote a low fasting blood insulin level and increase
metabolic fat-burning.
3. Exercise less, not more, but with more playfulness and
intensity. The goal is to create a strong body with a high resting
metabolism and a large physiologic capacity to move through life
easily--not to burn calories.
