What’s modern hunter-gatherer diet;
What ancestral diets actually looked like – vegan, carnivore, high fat, high carb;
Do hunter-gathers snack? Do they fast?
Weight Loss: we can’t boost and increase our metabolism much (although some things can help); why never-ending calorie restriction leads to resistant weight loss, health and hormonal problems; what’s the best way to lose weight; how to stick with healthy eating; what are some best foods to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight; keto, vegan, potato diet, intermittent fasting, low carb, low fat – are there better diets for weight loss?
