The “healthy lifestyle” promoted today bears no similarity to the hardy natural lives lived by most of humanity for almost all of its history. For example, it was not until the morning of agriculture about ten thousand years ago that grains and legumes became a major food source. For millions of years before that, it was typically beef and animal fat, with fruits and nuts being the sole other nutritional options when they were even available in any way.
And though our ancestors were certainly much more physically active, it is not certain that they engaged in extended high-intensity exercise of the kind we see in health clubs today. It is more likely that while their lives were very physical, it was not intensely hence composed of a large amount of walking, squatting, crawling, ducking, and such like, as necessary, with rather few occasions of no holds barred explosive effort. For the most part, early humans and humanoids would have decided to conserve their energy as much as humanly possible the chief health concern back then wasn’t getting too thin, and not today’s concerns over getting too fat!
Given all this, what is interesting is when we deliberate over how hunger and starvation work in a rather more natural environment. In such a situation, similar to that faced by our more distant ancestors, carbohydrate intake is low while there is a fair quantity of greasy meat. Yet that alone can satisfy, to a reasonable enough degree, the human hunger for a day or 2. For fat stores will be tapped, reducing the possibility of weight issues a virtually unknown condition in the Hobbesian jungle.
Indeed, there’s a whole movement springing up that is’s dedicated to replicating the diet, if not the lifestyle in its totality, of primitive man, with importance on meat and animal fats. This may be an extreme reply, but a general agreement is building the unsophisticated image of nourishment and good health build over the previous 3 decades is way unfinished and even downright incorrect.
