INTRODUCTION
There are people out there who are exactly like you and me, with only one little difference – they never put on an ounce of fat. Would you like to find out how they do it? If the answer is yes, read on.
The people I’m talking about are the human tribes living in the wild. Their physical condition is fascinating. At the age of seventy they still have all their teeth intact – and yet they’d never seen a dentist, nor heard of dental floss. Randomly selected tribesmen easily outrun our top athletes – and yet they’d never trained for a contest. They can feast over a good kill for days, consuming mountains of food, with fat running down their chins – and yet the only weight they put on is muscle. They never heard of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or depression. They usually die during warfare or hunt – but until then they stay healthy and strong.
How do they do it? The scientists have been trying to figure out an answer for decades. At first, they assumed different genetics (kind of racist don’t you think?). That theory fell to pieces as more and more of those people started moving into our modern cities where they – you guessed it! – quickly became like the rest of us: overweight and sick, with bulging waistlines and rotting teeth.
The next theory was of energy shortage; that is, people in the wild are so active that they expend more calories that they can possibly eat. Recent research (especially with Massai in Africa and Inuit in Canada) suggests the opposite: these guys live in places where there is abundance of food, and they sure eat their fill. For instance a Massai can drink up to seven (!) litres of full-cream milk in a single session (that’s about 5,000 Cal!). So what happens to this tremendous amount of energy they put in, if it’s not converted into fat?
They convert it into energy for life. They use food the way it was meant to be used – to give them abundance of energy to stay active, to run for days on end, to make love, to enjoy life and every minute of it!
But how do they do it?
It is only in the last ten or fifteen years that the science started to come up with the answer: the secret to their amazing levels of energy, fitness and health is in what they eat! And, perhaps even more importantly, in what they don’t eat.
For you and me, it is the best possible news. If you’d like to become energetic, healthy and fit, to become free of sickness, tiredness and stress, to achieve a body of your dreams … the good news is you don’t have to kill yourself in the gym, you don’t have to run a mile at six every morning, you don’t have to spend a fortune on drugs and supplements…
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CHANGE YOUR DIET!
And this book will tell you EXACTLY how to do just that.
As with anything you ever want to do in life, you’d usually ask three questions:
The following chapters will answer those questions for you, one by one.
