Our Early Ancestors Hold
Secret To Losing Weight
(DM)-Winter pounds got you down?
If holiday splurges and too many fast
food meals have expanded your
waistline, you can draw comfort
knowing that you’re not alone. A
study published by the Journal of the
American M edical Association
shows that over one third of adult
Americans are overweight, up from
one quarter just 15 years ago. And a
U.S. Department of Agriculture sur­
vey found that compared to the late
1970’s, Americans’ eating habits
today include 200 percent more
snack food, and 115 percent more
processed food, like fast food pizza,
lasagna and tacos.
Here lies the central cause of
Americans’ battle with the bulge,
says Michael Faulhaber, president of
OtheA Foundation. “The human ani­
m al’s digestive system was never
meant to handle highly processed
foods,” explains Faulhaber. “Our
early ancestors ate food in its natural
state, and didn’t mix foods of differ­
ent origins at one eating. Today's
highly processed fast foods - with
their mixtures of fats, protein, sugars
and other carbohydrates - are the
absolute antithesis of how we should
be eating.”
The mixture of fat, protein and
refined carbohydrates presents a par­
ticular problem if you are trying to
lose weight. While the digestion of
proteins and fat barely change the
insulin level, carbohydrates require
lots of insulin to control the blood
sugar level. The excess glucose
(blood sugar) is converted to and
stored as fatty tissue. A diet high in
processed foods not only adds
pounds but can result in a permanent
overproduction of insulin which, in
some cases, can lead to diabetes.
The key to losing weight, says
Faulhaber, is to eat foods separately
according to their origin, thereby
aiding proper digestion and avoiding
insulin overproduction.
