If you look at the physiques of tribespeople in places like the Amazon, you'll see they have bodies very similar to the woman. Humans are supposed to be svelte and thin. If we ate a natural diet - fruit, berries, seeds fish and small amounts of meat, that is how a human would (and should) look.

BTW I like the part where they swop meals ha ha

You'll also see a lot of stunted growth, warts from vitamin deficiency, rickets, pockmarks and all the other signs of malnutrition that modern civilisation left behind centuries ago. The idea that the physical ideal is that of a pre-civilisation hunter-gatherer is nonsense. There is a reason the Olympics and other elite sport aren't dominated by Brazilian and Guinean teams recruited from the rainforest. The physical human ideal has moved on in the past couple of millennia.

Each to their own but the skinny girl looks like she would blow away in a slight breeze.

This is the idea put forward by the author of 'Sapiens', an overview of human history. He thinks that the 'Agricultural Revolution' was a disaster for the human race. Instead of all that healthy running after game or from predators and rival tribes, climbing after fruit etc, we were condemned to a lot of back strain, bending in the hot sun, and eating a limited range of cereals which are not as varied nutritionally as fruit, berries, fresh meat etc.

Did wonders for our life expectancy though.

I never understand it when people trot out the "well, cave people did it..." argument for a diet.
What fun they had, wearing animal skins and dying at 30.

I should have said, the author is not exactly scientifically impartial in many of his views. Check him out. He's called Yuval Noah Harari. Second book is called 'Homo Deus'. First book was about our past, second is about our future, as he sees it.

I have come to think I must truly be addicted to sugar. I'm always hungry and always want carbs or sweet things. I think that's why I find it hard to stick to any sort of plan. I get so hot and shaky and break out in a sweat. I feel really terrible. Today I feel frustrated again because by 10am I'd already eaten my lunch and by 12 was eating again. I can't go more than 2 hours without feeling dreadful. So frustrating!

Fireflyaway, i am the same. I feel the rage building up too and continually hunting the next sugar fix. Having worked in addiction services over the years, i see the same behaviours in myself.
