A Major Cause Of Why You're Fat

There are alot of lessons that we can learn from our ancestors back in Paleolithic times.They lived in a world of survival of the fittest. If they did not fight to survive, they would be somebody else's food.Genetically, our bodies have not changed much since those times. We've had to evolve mechanisms that would keep us alive during times of famine.

During the times of our hunter/gatherer relatives,we endured periods of famine and starvation.This was much more common than having enough food.To combat this,our bodies have more systems that allow us to gain weight than they do for us tolos e weight.

Through our hormonal system, our body will actually gain and store fat when it thinks that we are going to starve.This sounds ridiculous because who would ever think that we have a shortage of food, especially in Industrialized nations.

On the contrary, our food supply is completely devoid of nutrients.

Nowadays, our food is calorie rich and nutrient poor. We are literally in a famine amidst plenty.

We are literally poisoning our bodies by not exercising, poor food choices and mental stress. Foods such as high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, table salt, boxed and canned goods all contribute to destroying your health and your bikini body.

Our ancestors were in incredible shape. He/she who was the most fit, had the best chance of getting/killing more food.

As we evolved, we created systems and behaviors to survive when droughts and bad eyesight made hunting and gathering more successful. In early times, our diets consisted of fruits, nuts, vegetables, tubers, and wild meat. These foods were low in calories BUT high in nutrients.This is why it is important to have a holistic weight loss program. This type of program is designed to give you nutrient dense foods that have a very low calorie value.

We occasionally had a snack if we ran into some honey, but it wasn’t in excess like it is now.

Nowadays, our stress comes from money problems, relationship problems, and work stress. It isn't for our survival. The problem lies in the fact that our bodies don't differentiate between mental and physical stress.

Stress, whether it is physical, mental, emotional or chemical, overcomes our biological drive to lose weight.Emotionally, we become discouraged causing us to give into eating sugars, fats, and sodas.When you add these events together, many of our dietary choices are shifted from biological necessities to psychological reactions.
