In prehistoric times humans were hunter gatherers. The process of hunting animals and gathering fruits and edible plants took a lot of energy. If we were to go back to living as people did in those times we would be lean and strong as they were.
Driving around hunting for a good restaurant or walking up and down grocery store aisles gathering our food doesn’t take much in the way of energy. And that’s a problem.
One of the other problems that early man had to contend with was famine. Climate changes and animal migrations would cause vast disruptions in food sources. That’s why our bodies store energy in the form of fat. To get us through lean times.
We just don’t hunt and gather in a traditional sense and we don’t experience food shortages.
The food that is available to most people today is not only high in energy content, but also very tasty. It is this abundance of great tasting food, acquired with very little energy output, that causes people to be overweight.
So what do we do about it? One solution is to move to one of those areas of the world where famine still exists and people regularly go without enough to eat. We see pictures of these unfortunate people on TV from time to time, mostly in advertisements asking for donations.
You may wish to lose weight, but I’m pretty sure you don’t want to go to that extreme.
One of the nice things about our scientific approach to problem solving is that we can solve many of today’s problems with a little logic. In this case we can learn from the life styles of hunter gatherers. We can adjust our eating habits is such a way that we can enjoy an abundance of good, tasty food.
By making some relatively small and effortless adjustments to the way we eat, we can slim down and live healthy lives. The good news is that if we do it right, it is easy to do.
