Synopsis
For two million years, our species ate a certain way: the hunter/gatherer method. For that entire time and before, we evolved to eat certain foods in a certain way. Since agriculture took place up to 10,000 years ago, culture has presented a diet to us that is contrary to how we were designed to eat. In The Evolution Diet, nutritionist and athlete Joseph Stephen Breese Morse embarks on an insightful, and often humorous journey to discover how humans evolved to eat, what cultureless humans would eat, and how we can use that knowledge with today's technology and standard of living to develop the ideal diet for all people.
By reading The Evolution Diet, you will learn what and how to eat the way we were designed. In doing so, you will be able to attain your ideal weight, better sleep, more energy and much, much more! Many dieters have already started the diet (shown in case studies throughout the book) and experienced almost immediate benefits to the eating plan.
Also, by reading this book, you can answer questions that may have been hounding you for years: Does diet and exercise really work? What is the safest way to lose weight? How can I lose that last 10 pounds? Why am I always tense or anxious? Is everything I read or see in on TV about weight loss accurate? Does sleep influence weight loss? What other factors influence weight loss? Am I destined to be overweight? Are carbs really bad for me? Why can't I sleep? How can I get out of this weight rut? It's time to evolve!

February 24, 2009: I was looking for a book that would acutally relate to a natural diet of unprocessed foods that humans would have naturally evolved into eating. The suggestion to eat Triscuits really put me off (every day? really?). I found "Spent" to be the book I was looking for.
I Also Recommend: Spent?.

February 20, 2006: This catchy phrase was a quote by one Evolution Dieter as reported in the section called 'Appropriate Your Diet.' It is a perfect explanation of this common-sense diet that challenges the reader to deny cultural and physical influences and return to a healthier, more natural style of eating. The premise is simple: eat the way our bodies were designed to eat. To do this, we must know a little about the human body and what it needs to function properly. The author explains this without getting bogged down with scientific terms and equations. We must also know how our culture influences our diets, in large part so that we can know how not to eat. Morse shows us what a `culture-less diet' would look like and then shows us how such a program can be followed. The Evolution Diet excels where similar historical diets fail in that it emphasizes not only what to eat, but when and how to eat those foods. For instance, if we're preparing for bed, there is no reason to eat a large bowl of ice cream and chocolate syrup. That kind of food is designed to energize and if one eats it before bedtime, sleep will most likely be hindered. Eat that before working out if you have to eat it at all. At night, eat a hearty steak that is designed to rebuild exhausted muscles and bones, a process that consequently makes you tired. Throughout the day, keep the metabolism going (and avoid falling asleep at work) with low sugar, high fiber ('LoS Hi-Fi') foods like crackers, grains, or some vegetables. In short: 'food for work, food for play, and food for the rest of the day.' It's a formula that just makes sense and, after a few weeks of eating this way, makes you wonder how in the world you used to eat five strawberry waffles and syrup before sitting in front of a TV all day.
