Has anyone read Deep Nutrition? My journey is about losing weight, but learning about nutrition is obviously a plus. I'm about 20 pages into this book and find it very interesting so far.

    I don't think it's that kind of book.

    It's utter nonsense. The author thinks we can eliminate disease by changing our diet. That, and she's fairly anti-carb.

    I don't think it's that kind of book.

    Maybe if Jennifer Lawrence played the banana and had a nude scene?

    Cover Blurb:
    Deep Nutrition illustrates how our ancestors used nourishment to sculpt their anatomy, engineering bodies of extraordinary health and beauty. The length of our limbs, the shape of our eyes, and the proper function of our organs are all gifts of our ancestor's collective culinary wisdom.

    From the author:
    One of our favorite passages in the book speaks to the importance of our ability to gauge beauty. Contrary to what we typically hear, the fascination for good-looking people is not a new phenomenon created by Hollywood. Nor is it about vanity. Rather, the instinct for beauty reflects a deep-seated, primal survival skill that has enabled us to reliably select the healthiest mates and pass on the healthiest genes to our offspring.

    Unfortunately, the introduction of industrial food into our bodies has also impacted our genetic expression and, for reasons described in Chapters Two and Three, this means that optimal growth is now relatively more rare and precious than it was in the past.

    Once we better appreciate how wandering from our ancestral nutritional path can affect us so powerfully, we can better appreciate the power of real food to set our bodies back on track.

    Draw your own conclusions. My BS sense is tingling.

    What if she's right?





    Even I had trouble typing that.
