The first human remains were found in Ethiopia, almost 200,000 years ago. During that time, Ethiopia was a warm and tropical climate. It is likely that we evolved to be humans in this hot environment. And you're hot too. The human body is 98.6 degrees on average. You are a warm-blooded human. Humans eventually left our tropical roots and populated the planet in cooler regions north and south of the equator. Since then we have lost brain size, our metabolic rates have dropped, obesity rates have risen, and we have more lifestyle disease than ever before. Why is this happening? Why are people more sick today than ever before? The First Diet proposes that this phenomenon is largely a result of damaged metabolisms due to metabolic-fuel-incompatibility. We have slowly given up the warm weather foods we were designed to eat with foods that grow in the cold. Scientists can see what people have been eating by examining their cells. Studies show that since the year 1960 there's been a 310% increase in the "cold weather" fat in our tissues, and a 270% increase in obesity-a close tie in numbers. And that's only the beginning of our problems. However, this damage can be reversed, the human body is resilient. But in order to heal, we must eat foods that are proven to stabilize and increase metabolic function. The foods that grew where we evolved and became human. The same foods that gave us so much metabolic energy that we could afford to evolve such a large brain. But as The First Diet explains, even our brain size is in jeopardy if we do not change the way we eat, and soon. The First Diet is focused on showing you the foods that are compatible with our warm-blooded, 98.6 degree bodies. The foods that create more energy, and help increase your metabolism and health. This is the same type of energy that helped us evolve into the big-brained humans we are today. And the very energy we need to restore our health.
