ctitioners seek to eat food in a manner similar to how our pre-agricultural ancestors ate. The theory goes that our bodies are the product of millions of years of evolution, while agriculture has only been around for about 10,000 years. Consequently, our bodies haven’t fully adapted to eating grains, legumes, and other foods that aren’t easily found in the wild. These foods have a negative effect upon the body, notably by spiking insulin levels. By switching to foods our distant ancestors ate, our bodies quickly adapt back to a way of functioning that is healthier all around. Some people extend the concepts of the diet into other factors of their lives, such as
sleeping and exercise.
