The Evolution Diet: What and How We Were Designed to Eat [Paperback]

Joseph Stephen Breese Morse (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 23, 2006

For 2 million years, humans evolved to eat a certain way: in the hunter/gatherer style, which consists of snacking on plant foods while roaming around before hunting and consequently filling themselves with animal meat. For the last few thousand years, however, our culture has forced us into a diet that is contrary to this. As a result, it is increasingly difficult to eat the way we were designed to eat. JSB Morse's Evolution Diet explores this modern problem and how to adjust our diet to fix it. In the book, you'll find a thoughtful, often funny, survey of the makeup of the human body, contributing factors to our diet (such as culture), and an easy-to-grasp explanation of what exactly we should eat. You'll also find over 50 recipes for tasty Evolution Diet foods. This book will help you become the healthy and happy person you've always known you can be. It's time to evolve!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Entertaining and Informative Read, March 1, 2006

"The first thing that dieters lose is their sense of humor." Part One of The Evolution Diet starts off with some humorous quotes like all of the parts or chapters in the book. Morse seems to have wanted to make his informative and enlightening book entertaining also. It worked! But besides staying amused at the anecdotes and jokes, I learned a great deal about how my body works and why I feel tense or tired at certain times of the day, or why I can't sleep some nights. It all goes back to my diet and the fact that I haven't been eating "what or how I was designed to eat."

If you are over the gimmick diet books that exclude half of natural food, or you want to add some variety into your diet while you try to lose weight, this thing works. It's a plan for eating that you can stick with and enjoy for the rest of your life, not just 5 weeks before you're over it.

It works like this: you eat certain types of food at certain times. Snack on LoS Hi-Fi (read the book) throughout the day, eat high-energy foods during exercise, and fill yourself with high-protein after exercise and before sleep. Morse goes into how this helps you attain perfect health including ideal weight and so much more.

Other good books about health are the "Good To Eat" and "Our Kind" by Marvin Haris. To our collective health!

1.0 out of 5 stars poor, February 28, 2007

This review is from: The Evolution Diet: What and How We Were Designed to Eat (Paperback)

The most amateurish book I have ever read on health and diet. I really got the impression the author had done a little reading on these ideas and then decided to write his own book. Here's a sample of the writing style - on the topic of the Islets of Langerhans (the structures in the pancreas that produce insulin) he says "Instead of picking on these little guys because of the funny name, you should know that these guys produce... insulin". As for his diet, it's either well-known information (don't eat excessive sugar), or is stated without adequate justification (like eating complex carbohydrates in the day and protein at night). I'm not saying it's incorrect, I'm saying it needs justification and discussion. And as for the diet itself, with a title like the Evolution Diet, you might wonder why it contains amongst other things Cheerios, popcorn, Triscuit crackers, and diet root beer.

This book definitely helped me to lose weight. It recommends eating most of your healthy carbs in the morning and eating a light amount of carbs throughout the day followed by a lot of protien for dinner. Prior to reading this book I actually followed a reverse eating pattern and now I know why I couldn't lose weight. Not sure how entertaining you might find it as a read but at least for me, following the tips worked.
