Message: <blockquote data-quote="LittleGreyCat" data-source="post: 2671028" data-attributes="member: 6467">The point that seems to be missing is that humans evolved to eat when food was available, and live on reserves when no food was available.This could involve periods of starvation and in some cases death.So it could be considered that the natural cycle for humans is eat/fast (but not necessarily by choice).One possible cause of current obesity and ill health could be that food is always available in high energy concentrations.So humans no longer go through the regular cycle between fat storage and fat usage.So humans may not have evolved to live well on the current available diet.For all the "romantic" notions used to promote various diets (many of which generate revenue for the promoters) evolution takes place over many millennia whereas we have achieved food security over at most a few centuries.</blockquote>
