Couldn’t our biological organisms just prefer the healthy food? It would give us larger chance of survival so genes preferring healthy food should be more popular.
In: Biology
Our bodies were designed on the basis that food wasn’t readily available in a building at any given time of the day.
So, it made perfect sense that, if you lived in a cave, there would be periods of bad weather etc that would prevent us from being able to hunt and gather. So, our bodies evolved to steer us towards the most efficient way of getting the most calories from the least input.
And it all worked really well, until of course we had supermarkets, cars and desk jobs.
Our bodies still want to eat as if they’re facing periods of time in the absence of food but that time never comes in our modern world.
That’s why intermittent fasting works so well for weight loss and/or management. It’s literally what our bodies were built to do
