The man, flowing after wild animals, increased the muscles.Then eaten meat, rich in protein and poor fats.After all, wild animals are also difficult to grow in the fight for life.And women collected herbs and roots, vegetables.Women have brought up to 60% of the diet of a cave person.At the same time, in the life of the caves, the fruit period was very short, for example, August-September.It was a month of carbohydrate loading.But it was then that the pancreas began to produce insulin, which quickly transformed the carbohydrates of the fruits into fat deposits necessary for the "high quality" wintering.At the same time, the person was constantly hungry.But when a primitive man became more civilized, he started cooking fruit jam and preserving it.And thus make "big" reserves for yourself.

BESIDES
To lose weight, open the doors of happiness
According to Ducan, there are only ten doors of happiness.He wrote a separate book on this subject.

- The first door is food.This is one of the most important foundations in life - if you don't eat, you'll die.And you will appreciate food.
- The second door is sex.Sex is not only as a physical principle, but as love, as an emotion.
- The third door is power.The more influence you have, the greater the release of serotonin - the hormone of happiness.
- The fourth door is your comfortable house,Where it is pleasant to come back, an important point in a happy life.
- The fifth door- Physiology, everything related to our body, including sports.
- Sixth-Nature and all that she gives, that is to say, the clean air, the green foliage, the smell of the earth ...
- Seventh- Attachment to their social group, be it a group of interest or work.
- Eighth- Everything related to the game, entertainment.
These eight doors have both people and animals.But the two remaining doors are only inherent in people.
- The ninth doors- Sacred, religion and not only.
- And the tenth- Beauty.Only we can admire and enjoy beauty.
If you have all these ten open doors, you are happy, you get serotonin.But if one of them is closed, you feel his lack.And you start to eat, largely opening the very first nearest door.
