Next on the podcast series “What did humans evolve to eat?” I had Professors Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer on the podcast.

Professor David Raubenheimer is a leading expert in nutritional ecology which looks at how an animal’s nutritional environment interacts with its biology to affect health and fitness. ****Professor Stephen Simpson is Academic Director of the Charles Perkins Centre, a Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, and Executive Director of Obesity Australia. Both of these leading scientists have developed an integrative approach for nutrition called the Geometric Framework, which was devised and tested using insects but is now being applied to many other animals, including humans.

In this episode we discuss

• How much protein did humans evolve to eat?
• Why do animals instinctively know what to eat and why do humans find nutrition so difficult?
• What happens when there is not enough protein in our diets?
• What is the protein leverage hypothesis and how does it affect weight gain or weight loss?
• Their book “Eat Like the Animals”
