No potato chips nor pretzels nor any other high carb high salt snacks for the neanderthals! I bet diabetes was rare in them.
Gives a historical perspective of diet all the way back to neanderthal and recommends diet by blood type.
Okay, but I don’t have insulin resistance and my digestion is great. No health issues at all. I just want to drop some weight. :)
I had a few slices of prosciutto with lunch. Delicious.
Thanks ml, but it's quackery.
what does ml mean?
Your screen name, abbreviated?
Just a guess.

ml = “morphing libertarian”.
OH, LOL thanx

“...I bet diabetes was rare in them....”
With a life expectancy of probably 30 years or so, they didn’t have a chance to get it...
“...perfectly preserved fruitcake...”
It’s the green and red thingeys in them... always....
;^)
30 years was perhaps the average life, with no medicines and no guns to defend from lions.
But average means some lived longer, much longer, since kids must have died in large numbers.
“...since kids must have died in large numbers....”
Yes, childbirth had to be a grueling thing - exposed to the elements, animals, diseases, etc.
And if the kid survived and made it to a few years of age, it was STILL a lethal environment for them.
“eat a lot in a short period of time every day for the best chance of avoiding modern man diseases like diabetes, heart disease and joint pains.”
Just be sure it is mostly meat, tubers and fruit. No french fries, donuts, or cola.
Carnivores eat all of an animal including the stomach and intestinal contents. I don’t know if Neanderthals did that. I remember a story of an Indian zoo. The local Hindus were very proud of their lion and fed it the best meat. The couldn’t understand why it got unhealthy. They were advised to give it the whole animal to eat, and it soon became healthy again. Stomachs often would contain greens and seeds from deer, antilope, mice, etc.
None of those are "modern", so-called "modern" diseases (other than AIDS, and I haven't checked that in a while) have been documented in ancient remains.
lol especially no donuts! Deep fried, fatty and loaded with sugar!!
In addition to meat, tubers & fruit, add leafy green veggies. Organ meats are also good such as liver, kidneys, brain and bone marrow. I so miss the delicious goat brain curry my mother cooked often. And almost all nuts are healthy except over-eating peanuts.
A direct ancestor of my late husband had 9 children in mid 1800s. Four of them died around age 2 in August or September in Southern Illinois. No doubt intestinal illness from food eaten after weening was taking place. Generally if someone lived to age 5, they could have a fairly long life, especially if not warring or hunting large animals.
