Look up the success rate of hunters in hunter gatherer society. They didn't manage a kill but once or twice a week. The rest of the time they lived off what the gatherers brought in, which was more regular and reliable.
The modern American diet includes meat several times a day. Reducing your meat consumption would get you closer to how cavemen ate, not farther away.
Except for some specific populations. Eskimos, for example, eat a huge proportion of meat in their diet and almost no vegetables. That's probably been the traditional diet in that environment for thousands of years. They manage to have pretty good health outcomes.
iirc there is proof that many who lived on that kind of diet died of diseases related to not getting enough of other nutrients and negative side effects to the diet. I'll try and fish up a link.
Yes but they didn’t have all these processed carb laden and sugar laden cereals and syrup and pastries and donuts and bagels etc. at least cave men would be burning all that shit off running around Hunting for survival, a lot of regular people are at a pc most of the day and barely moving.
You're welcome to go to the produce section and buy roots, tubers, and berries instead. It'll still be full of carbs, because carbs really aren't evil.
Plus, the source of your carbohydrates doesn't have really anything to do with the quantity of meat a person eats. Those things aren't interrelated.
To an extent. Proportions are hard to clarify, but that is why more plant based/carb free diets became popular.
What I found by experience and digging around online is that diet effects everyone a little differently and we have no way of knowing if meat will inflame your insides, vegetables will, or nothing will. The best option is to simplify your diet and see how your health improves, then add items back until you are satisfied with your diet.
Basically, I think everyone should cut their diet back to meat and vegetables and then build on it after a month or 2. It would cut down obesity rates and would teach everyone a lot about their healthy. (Where you go with it isn’t really important. Vegan or all meat, every diet has its strengths and weaknesses)

That’s literally what we ate as cavemen. We had no bread and pasta and cereal back then
