    Yeah. Our bodies are doing the right thing after millions of years of evolution. When you find something high fat high carb and salty, go crazy before the bear kills you. It just doesn’t know that there’s infinitely more food and almost no chance of a bear attacking you. We developed food much faster than our brains could adapt.

    At the same time, we are not just our bodies but also our gut biome, and they particularly enjoy less processed foods, high in fiber, highly fermentable, and still intact even after crossing stomach.

      Likewise, if you try to lose weight, millions of years of conditioning kick in. Your body thinks its starving to death and acts accordingly.
