Makes sense- lots of insight!. Review on Rvolution Diet, The - Joseph Stephen Breese Morse

This catchy phrase was a quote by one Evolution Dieter as reported in the section called ''Appropriate Your Diet.'' It is a perfect explanation of this common-sense diet that challenges the reader to deny cultural and physical influences and return to a healthier, more natural style of eating. The premise is simple: eat the way our bodies were designed to eat. To do this, we must know a little about the human body and what it needs to function properly. The author explains this without getting bogged down with scientific terms and equations. We must also know how our culture influences our diets, in large part so that we can know how not to eat. Morse shows us what a `culture-less diet' would look like and then shows us how such a program can be followed. The Evolution Diet excels where similar historical diets fail in that it emphasizes not only what to eat, but when and how to eat those foods. For instance, if we're preparing for bed, there is no reason to eat a large bowl of ice cream and chocolate syrup. That kind of food is designed to energize and if one eats it before bedtime, sleep will most likely be hindered. Eat that before working out if you have to eat it at all. At night, eat a hearty steak that is designed to rebuild exhausted muscles and bones, a process that consequently makes you tired. Throughout the day, keep the metabolism going (and avoid falling asleep at work) with low sugar, high fiber (''LoS Hi-Fi'') foods like crackers, grains, or some vegetables. In short: ''food for work, food for play, and food for the rest of the day.'' It's a formula that just makes sense and, after a few weeks of eating this way, makes you wonder how in the world you used to eat five strawberry waffles and syrup before sitting in front of a TV all day.
