I agree because I feel it depends on your ancestry. My family is from Scotland and there would be no veggies, carbs for the most part and so-on. I should eat fish, meat, potatoes and some berries and rhubarb. My family lived long lives doing that, so why would I eat pasta and plant based? Now if I was from Greece or Italy, I would look at things differently. JMHO.
I agree that ancestral diets are a factor. Populations that still follow their traditional ancestral diets are healthier than populations that don't.
I don't have one. One of my parents was northern European and the other was southern European. I have had to experiment since neither works for me. I have to avoid grains and dairy but fish, lean meats, vegetables and fruits are good.
Personalized diets based on our genes are the future.
Why is it that a high-GI and low-fat diet does not have considerable affect on inflammation compared to a low GI moderate carb diet? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24787494/
When you just eat less calories your inflammation magically goes away. It doesn't matter what you are eating.
This is season 7, and they are around Great Slave Lake. Fish, squirrels and rabbits are abundant and one guy killed a musk ox. There are also bears and moose. No one is hungry, but two guys just quit because one had trichinosis and could tell he was ill, and one lacked the strength to finish his shelter. It is late fall there, and the animals do not have much fat on them yet.
I haven’t seen any other ones, but the hardships would change depending on the location.
I've not seen season 7 yet. The others were a total disaster for food. Must be the areas, not as abundant for food or their lack of knowledge on how to track and kill the animals.
That's called rabbit starvation. You can live on meat alone if it is not too lean. But lean meat, like rabbit, doesn't suffice. If you are ever in that wilderness survival situation, make sure to eat all the organs, including liver and, yes, brains.
I was just reading about that in a novel called "The River". The forest had burned, all the survivors had was blueberries (from before the fire) and trout to eat. They started to starve due to no fat. Their olive oil had capsized.
Yeah, we don't realize that the Inuit and Masai all-meat diets "worked" due to so much of the meat being eaten RAW, plus the organs of course. Only way to get the vitamins the animals had eaten.
I ended up in the hospital getting my stomach pumped from too many veg's when I tried vegan once.
Not for me!

One thing I’ve read about the ancient H/G and maybe the not so ancient is that the first thing they did after a kill is to open the belly and start eating the raw liver right away. It was a delicacy to them but I’m also guessing that it was at the peak of nutrition as well. While I would rather eat a bag of chips and drink a soda, that’s because I’ve been brainwashed to not find raw liver appealing. And we can all guess which is the more nutritious. Oh and they also prioritized the brains because they’re so high in fat.

Each indigenous population genetically adapted to their respective local diets. Inuits have unique nutrition-related genetic variants that allow them to process and thrive on that diet...as do other indigenous populations.
It's more complicated for Americans who can have conflicting nutrition-related genetic variants from multiple regions.
I suspect that the debate over the best diet or way of eating will exist far beyond our life span...
Me, I love the saying--if it's grown--eat it. If it's made (manufactured)--don't.
Exceptions to that saying? Of course! (Just ate some WASA brand Light Rye Flatbread..it was "made" but had only two ingredients--rye flour and salt. Low in calories, high in fiber. My new go-to snack)...
