“Give up gluten!” “Ditch the dairy!” “Follow the high-protein diet of our Paleo ancestors!” “Go meat-free for better health!” “High-fat diets are the way forward!”

Have you ever wondered why some diets seem to work so well for your friends and family, but leave you feeling bloated, tired, or cause you to gain weight?

Why do some of us thrive on protein-rich diets, while for others, dairy or carbohydrates might provide the key to weight loss, good digestion, or better health?

Could the answers lie not in the present day, but in the distant past?

In this report we dive into evolutionary genetics to shed light on the possibility that it is actually your ancestral gene inheritance which influences whether you reach for the steak, the stilton, or the spaghetti!
