The Diet we Evolved to eat and Metabolic Health

Dr. Alfred Granite

This chapter emphasizes that modern food abundance and processing have shifted human adaptations from survival benefits to sources of chronic illness, arguing that a return to whole, unprocessed foods is key for health. It explains the historical importance of ketogenesis and the dangers of industrial seed oils and trans fats, advocating for traditional cooking fats and pasture-raised meats. The document also lists recommended fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains while advising against modern hybridized grains and lectins in certain foods, and concludes by suggesting dietary changes to combat metabolic syndrome, outlining key foods to avoid and providing resources for adopting Mediterranean, ketogenic, or carnivore diets.
