It comes down to the essential role of appetite to communicate the body's needs to the brain. Humans have this ability too, but our appetites have been hijacked in the modern food environment, causing obesity and the serious diseases that come with it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Raubenheimer and Stephen J. Simpson have been studying appetite in animals, transforming the science of nutrition with their findings. In Eat Like the Animals they take us on a journey from jungle to laboratory and back to our own kitchens to understand how and why we eat, how appetites are fed and regulated, and how, in the end, it all comes down to protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmed with this knowledge, they explain simple steps you can take towards eating a more natural diet for optimal health and a longer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0em;\"\u003ePRAISE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Eat Like the Animals \u003c\/em\u003eis a wonderfully clever and unusual introduction to the science of healthy eating. I loved the way it was written, and I found it full of drama, insight and surprise. Raubenheimer and Simpson make a very compelling case for the importance of protein in regulating our hunger and very powerfully demonstrate the horrific role that the junk food industry has played in our lives.

This beautifully written book proposes a highly original and compelling explanation for why so many of us gain weight in today's over-processed food environment. Raubenheimer and Simpson are biologists who use their deep knowledge of animal and insect physiology, evolution, and feeding behavior to construct a compelling hypothesis: we share with animals an innate appetite for protein that regulates what we eat' - \u003cstrong\u003eMarion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, New York University, and author of \u003cem\u003eUnsavory Truth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'\u003cem\u003eEat Like the Animals\u003c\/em\u003e is quite simply a masterpiece. I am completely blown away by the science and enthralled by the clarity and elegance of the writing. Raubenheimer and Simpson have revealed the deep evolutionary secrets of the most important physiological need any animal faces by asking the right questions, and have eviscerated all the charlatans, quacks and pseudoscientists who seek fame and fortune by peddling rubbish.
