The carnivore diet has been around for as long as humans have existed. Our ancestors, as hunter-gatherers, ate mostly meat for thousands of years. They thrived on meat, and they preferred it.

There has been an eternal battle between plants and animals for as long as they have existed. Both are living organisms that have the sole purpose of survival and reproduction. To survive and defend themselves, animals have legs, hoofs, claws, teeth, and so on. Plants do not have that luxury and are much more vulnerable to predation. However, let's wait to count these underdogs out for the count because plants have developed their means of defending themselves against predators through chemical warfare. Over millions of years, plants have developed defence chemicals to deter animals from consuming them. Over time, some animals, such as cows, have developed a digestive system specialized in breaking these foods down. 

What do you think our ancestors thought the first time they tried kale? I am sure they took a bite and spit it out. Kale doesn't taste good on its own, and there is a reason for that. Raw kale upsets digestion because of its high concentration of these defence chemicals. Now, why would kale cause these effects on humans? Ohh, yes, so we didn't continue eating them. Over thousands of years, our ancestors learned to eat animals first, then fruit, then vegetables as a last resort.

Do you ever get that exciting feeling when you get a quick treat to give yourself a little boost? Maybe you get a Starbucks coffee, a piece of chocolate, a piece of candy, etc. Isn't it so lovely and comforting knowing that you can get a little boost whenever you want?! Sorry to burst your bubble, but this comfort is dearly costing you and your metabolism.

Humans have evolved over millions of years to thrive on this planet. Never in our history have we had such easy access to carbohydrates. Would our long-ago ancestors have been able to order an oat-shaken espresso when they were a little tired? I don't think so. To beat sugar cravings forever, you must become Metabolically flexible like our ancestors. No, this is not the type of flexibility you get from yoga.

What if I told you that there was a pill that gives you, better, energy, a better mood, more self-respect, and increased resilience, as some of the benefits? 

If I told you that I’d be lying because there is no pill that does all of that. However, exercise absolutely will give you all of those amazing benefits and more. That’s what today is all about. Today's focus is on the real benefits of exercise because when it comes to exercise we’ve got it all wrong.

When it comes to exercise, society has glorified six-packs and biceps while neglecting the growth in someone's confidence and self-discipline. In a world that is so focused on materialistic things, it’s not a surprise that we have become fixated on dieting to lose weight and exercising to look good. We’ve missed the boat on the real importance of exercise, which is about feeling good both mentally and physically!
