Excerpt from The 80/10/10 Diet
The fact is, Nature has seen fit to provide the ideal food for every
creature on Earth, and all creatures of similar type eat similarly. For
example, horses—and all creatures that look like horses (zebras,
donkeys, mules)—eat from essentially the same category of foods—those
for which their biological systems were designed. Do not let anyone
tell you that humans are the one exception to this rule (called the law
of similars) in all of the animal kingdom, for there are no exceptions:
animals that are anatomically and physiologically similar thrive on
similar foods. Cows eat grass, leopards eat meat, and hummingbirds eat
nectar. There is simply no need to complicate this simple program,
presented in perfection by nature in thousands of examples.
All of the creatures that are anatomically and physiologically like us
(known as the anthropoid primates: gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees,
and bonobos) thrive on a low-fat diet that is predominated by fruits
and vegetables. Their caloronutrient ratios closely approximate
80/10/10. With the exception of the gorilla, whose great weight makes
it almost impossible to climb the skinny branches of trees to procure
fruit, they get more than 80% of their calories from the carbohydrates
in fruit. The combined caloronutrient average for chimpanzees, bonobos,
and orangutans is about 88/7/5. Add in the gorilla’s numbers, which
come closer to 70% carbohydrate, and the average decreases, making the
ratio almost exactly 80/10/10 for all of our anthropoid relatives.
The actual foods humans eat differ according to season, geography,
availability, personal preference, etc., but not according to anything
pertaining to our physiology. The total number of calories each person
needs varies according to many factors, including gender, size, age,
activity level, fitness goals, health status, and so forth. But the
ratio of carbohydrates to protein to fats we need remains relatively
the same. This is true regardless of the dietary specifics, food
choices, or total volume consumed. As I explain in Chapter 5, no amount
of adaptation or relocation has changed the basic digestive physiology
with which we have been endowed since the beginning of time.
