Eat natural foods that would have been available to our ancestors, lift heavy stuff, run occasionally like you were running for your life, wear a seatbelt in your car, maybe wear a helmet on your bike, etc. Hopefully you’ll live a long and happy life, still you could be killed by the TB infected badger that attacks whilst out on a night ride or the twunt in a white van!
I like some of this.
We do. But, they evolved to take advantage of a huge variety of foods
And 1st prize for stating the obvious goes to……
Does this variety of food include the chips room service delivered.
The muffin you scoff at breakfast.
Poor ole Grips, room service and your own body is against you.
Its all beyond your control, isn’t it…
Nah.. not really.. back up to 84.5kg after being 82 before – although they were on different scales. Haven’t managed to get any decent exercise done lately
You see ?, to me, you’ve still not got your head around it.
Seems that you excuse your increase in weight, for lack of exercise.
Eh ?.
Exercise plays a smaller part of the equation while diet is the main part.
So the idea that there’s one diet we need to eat on evolutionary grounds is bogus imo
This much is truely evident in your case.
However, you are wrong to dismiss your evolutionary past and the prevailing science when making decisions about what you push into your cake hole.
The correct diet for Humans does indeed include a wide variety of foods.
This isn’t in dispute. But what is correct ?.
I would suggest that correct should be what has been the prevailing foods for most of human history.
Yes, a Paleo-esque diet.
You don’t seem to accept that some foods are what our bodies are best suited to consuming.
While others foods are more just tolerated, with varying degrees of effect.

There are huge differences. How many people do you know who eat normally [b]WTF is normally ?[/b] and are skinny buggers? How many people do you know who stuff their faces and are skinny? I know loads.
I also know people who eat pretty modestly and are fat. A girl I knew at uni spent £5/week on food and was pretty much obese.
BS !. You don’t know anything about someone’s eating habits unless you are with them 24/7 or they give a truely honest food diary.
Some of the largest people in my office ?.
YOU NEVER SEE THEM EAT….
OOoooo !. How come they are so mahooosive then ?…
I guess £5 a week buys a lot of sugar…
Those on low incomes can still afford to get heavy.
Or, to put it another way – if you DON’T push it, do you hurt yourself?
Course not, ask Buzz.
Or to put it another way.
Did Paleolithic man regulary run marathons just to prove he was faster than his neighbour ?.
How many olympic gold medals have been unearthed along with their 10,000 year old owner ?, I wonder….
But that’s part of the glory of existence – we are all different mentally as well as physically.
Err, NO !.
If you recall, you are convinced I’m wrong to observe and ponder the prevailing concensus regarding paleo type eating habits/choices, as far as they are understood today.
This reminds me of when you drove iDave to the point of responding to one of your posts in upper case…
On the mental thing, you’re certainly correct.
Certain types appear to have a lack of steely resolve….
Physically, most of us are just too similar for it to be a reason/excuse.
People may try blaming rooom service, they may try blaming their job and lack of exercise.
But I think we all know what really matters.
