Ending and Beginning

I’d like to know how many affluent Americans wait until they’re hungry to eat. Most of us are in the habit of eating three square meals a day, no matter what. That’s not Paleo at all. I’m sure humans stuffed themselves when they had the chance back then too, but very, very infrequently

There’s a practical reason for eating when you’re not hungry, of course — even though I’m not that hungry when I get up in the morning, on work days I will eat anyway, because I know that if I don’t I’ll be *really* hungry by 9am.

The habit of eating based on a timetable instead of waiting to be hungry is another way we treat ourselves like machines instead of living organisms.
