I don't mean to offend, because I know that you mean well with this line of thinking. But it seems really silly to think that our cellular metabolism evolved in conjunction with the imagined hunting patterns of a proto-human. Cellular metabolism is a much older process.
Also, the human body did not evolve to perform best when fasting. Certainly we have adrenaline for "kill" moments, but I would bet that eating before a long physical challenge would increase performance during that challenge. You might bur more fat if you don't eat, but I don't think we evolved to burn fat - rather the opposite seems more likely.
- awolf 16y agoI really encourage you to do some research on evolutionary biology. Almost everything you said here is wrong. It's only very recently in human history with the advent of agriculture that large amounts of grains and legumes becme available for human consumption. 99.5% of our human existence was spent as hunter-gatherers surviving on mostly meat.
- zoomzoom 16y agohm, not sure what I said about eating meat vs grains.
