Roughly 10,000 years ago the last
Ice Age finished. Within a couple thousands years of the ice sheet retreating,
farming started up again and new foods evolved to be the mainstay they are in
today's weight loss diet. This new weight loss diet, called Neolithic, had an
immediate effect on individual health. Skeletons of Neolithic farmers show poor
nourishment compared to the previous generations of Neanderthals. They expired
younger, were of less stature, had more holes in their smaller amount of teeth and showed the first indication of
fatness in need of weight loss.
The problem with the new weight
loss diet of the Neolithic period was that we didn't advance to gobble those
new foods. The diminutive persons’ digestive territory is exclusive among
primates. We have no more than one stomach and a comparatively short large
intestine. We are more well-matched to digesting and extracting nutrients from
animal protein, fruit, nuts, and some vegetables.
Early civilizations also were more
active. By running and lifting heavy objects every day you will build muscle
and lose weight. Today we call this
exercising vs just surviving in those days.
