Eat Like Your Ancestors (EP 99)

About this episode

Beverly Meyer discusses ancestral eating and its benefits over modern diets.

Beverly Meyer came back to talk food, and not the usual "try this new diet" nonsense. We're talking ancestral eating—the way humans actually evolved to eat before we started loading up on wheat, corn, and whatever's on sale at the drive-thru. She breaks down why carbs are the real culprit behind weight gain, why cholesterol got a bad rap, and how eating meat and vegetables at every meal (yes, even breakfast) can change everything. We talked about her "all meals are dinner" philosophy, cooking without recipes, and why following the biology beats following the trends. If you've been spinning your wheels on low-fat diets and feeling worse, this one's for you.
