MM is not ancestral/natural eating
Hello and good day to you :)
I have read quite a bit about ancestral diets e.g. Weston Price Foundation
In this way of eating, researchers have studied healthy societies and what core principles where similar in all their diets. Now, those could not be further away from MM, some examples are
- Include animal products (especially organs)
- get raw dairy into your diet
- prepare plant foods so the anti nutrients are reduced (also avoid lectins, soak lentils etc.)
- get into a fasted state every now and then, because humans never had the abundance to eat every 90 minutes "an adrenal snack"
Humans have gone through periods of scarcity all the time. I am not talking about weeks without food (even though this happened too) but about not having food ready ALL THE TIME. Hunting, Gathering did not always go well, so sometimes better luck next day and this day fasting..
So aren't our bodies designed for having periods of 16-24hours without food? Giving the digestive system etc. a break and the chance to clean up everything?
Is this not the reason for the body being able to switch from glucose burning machinery to ketosis ("self-made glucose in form of ketones) ?
Also eating so much fruit, that nowadays has NOTHING to do with the wild fruit we used to eat as humans. The 'fake' bananas in our stores for example,... is a mono-eating banana diet actually good, considering that we don't know these fruits anylonger? Also potatoes today are so different from how they used to be..
Smoothies are also something, we as humans never had before blenders were invented. So it is hard for me to believe, the MM way of eating is what we are made for.
I am aware, that this post is pointing out several points and I am more than happy to read your very long reply ♥ For me MM is quite new and just common sense challenges quite a lot of the information given in the books.
THANK YOU.
TLDR: Is MM actually the way humans are supposed to eat given that ancestral diets are SO different from it? Smoothies, Celery Juice, Fruit so different today from wild fruit = humans have been healthy for such a long time without chronic diseases when there was NO access to a BLENDER or JUICER...
