Modern grain varieties don't resemble their heritage counterparts. Modern wheat (since the 70's) sees something like 19x the immune response. As to seed oils, frankly I just don't see a need to support heavily processed and refined foods in general, in particular margarine and vegetable shortening. As far as over-eating and meal frequency... hormones are part of the calculation, you can clear more calories with less hormone response in fewer meals. If you look at tribal cultures with a food abundance (near coastal fish) would only eat once a day or so. Spiking glucose/insuline more times a day isn't so great in general. I think we're mostly on the same page... I'm more than happy to see people eat more from whole plant meals with a more nose to tail approach to meat consumption. Not to mention a huge a shift in the types and qualities of meat and fish. I think the level of refined sugars, oils and modern grains are a big problem... so is, for that matter, poorly raised animals and mono-farming in general. Optimizing for yield and efficiency seems to have lost a lot along the way imo. One aside, while some can eat massively in a single meal... it's very hard for most people to overeat in a single meal. Harder still to do it consuming meat/eggs/fish and greens. Calories count, calories are king in terms of what we eat... and hormone response is queen. |
