The Diet for Human

The Foods we evolved to eat

The Diet for Human Beings Video by Beverly Meyer

What will I learn from the video?

The Big Idea #1: Eat Like A Human Being

Humans are not vegetarians. We release hydrochloric acid to digest animal protein when we begin eating. Herbivores digest differently and are suited for grass, weeds and fiber. They don’t produce much HCL. 

The Big Idea #2: Most Fats Are Good

Humans depend on fat for fuel. It is the most satisfying of all foods. We also make fat out of any extra glucose and store it as triglycerides or body fat to burn later for fuel. We produce Estrogen, Testosterone, Cortisol and Progesterone from cholesterol. But why are “vegetable” oils so bad? Listen for more.

The Big Idea #3: Reboot the System

Humans began eating grains after the last Ice Age 15,000 years ago. Since then, sugar and carbohydrates have taken over our diets! Our bodies had to learn to burn glucose for fuel, rather than burning fat for fuel. The primary goal of The Diet For Human Beings is to reboot your body from glucose-burning to our protein and fat-burning default system. Learn how!

The Big Idea #4: Insulin Resistance Is a Problem

Insulin is a master hormone regulating all hormones in the body. Any hormonal problem can be due to the insulin-glucose cycle. Insulin escorts nutrients into the cells. We need SOME insulin, but if we eat excess sugars/starches, we make excess insulin. Our bodies become insulin-resistant, and we store glucose as fat. This fat accumulates on the organs in the mid-body, becoming one of the main predictors of mortality. The video explains how to reverse Insulin Resistance through food.

The Big Idea #5: The Trouble With Grains

Grains are the seeds of grass. Wheat, rye, oats, corn, rice are seeds. Seeds are not very digestible to humans but are perfect for animals who graze. Seeds are naturally coated with anti-nutrients to protect the seed from being digested if eaten.  The Agricultural Revolution of the 1960’s hybridized grain, making it cheaper to grow and use. The hybridization of grain affected all grain, including organic. Grains are almost pure carbohydrate. 

The Big Idea #6: Fat Is Not The Problem!

Our bodies need good fat found in animal fats and organs, coconuts, and coconut oil. Some fats are great for cooking – others may burn. Do not use vegetable oils or highly processed, hydrogenated oils, such as canola, corn, soy or peanut. Get the list of good fats and how to use them.

Wow! I always knew there was something in my diet that was causing my health problems. I took the 30 day challenge discussed in the DVD and not only regained my health, but I lost weight in the process. My mind is clearer and I feel great. Thank you Beverly Meyer!!  

5 star review

Packed with Lots of Good Nutrition Insights
Beverly Meyer is a whirlwind of information and experience. She has been in the natural healing arts for several decades, both as a patient and as a healer. Beverly has created the only DVD that I am aware of discussing a whole food diet with a primal/ancestral bias. It’s called “The Diet for Human Beings.

5 star review

Listen to the podcasts
If you aren’t sure about buying this, listen to a couple of Beverly’s podcasts (free on iTunes) first. The Human Diet is life-changing.

5 star review

Nicely paced so you can stop and think
This video has review slides that come up every 3 minutes or so. I watch with my family and we can decide if we really understood everything just said or should we go back a bit to review. Nice to watch over several days rather than all at once. There’s lots of good info here!

FAQ’s

What is Paleo? Isn't it primarily meat, like The Atkins Diet?
Paleo (and The Diet for Human Beings) emphasize vegetables, proteins and fats with moderate fruit or starchy carbs. Pastured meats, organic produce. Atkins did not make that distinction and his diet was extremely limited in vegetables. Shopping, cooking and eating this way is a lifestyle, not a “diet.”
Can’t I get Paleo cookbooks and the recipes will show me what to eat?
Recipes do not explain why you’re making certain choices. They don’t teach you how to shop or order in a restaurant. Different books emphasize different things that may not be balanced. For example, there are lots of “paleo” desserts books.
Books take too much time. Is this an easier way to learn?
Absolutely! Watch the DVD on the computer or TV over several days if you like.
Will this help me explain why I’m eating this way?. My friends think I'm on a gluten-free fad diet.
Watch the DVD and understand WHY humans evolved with a certain diet, just like any other animal that has its own best diet. Once you learn why, you can better explain why it works naturally for a lifetime. Or watch the DVD with them or give it as a present.
Why is it called the diet for Human Beings?
All humans have the same digestive system and evolved eating in a certain manner, no matter what part of the globe we’re from. We never ate grasses and grass seed like an herbivore does
Will it help me be healthier overall?
This diet is especially good for autoimmune issues, blood sugar, mood swings, gluten free diets, anxiety and Irritable Bowel. The key to The Diet For Human Beings is to modify it for your particular needs. Maybe omit the eggs and tubers. Maybe add more fat. Do the basic template, then experiment!
Will I lose weight?
Yes, if you need to. More importantly, your body composition and shape will change. Excess belly weight and bloating may reduce quickly for example. You may need to work on other health issues as well, such as hormonal imbalances.
Will I be hungry like other diets?
This is not a weight loss diet. There are plenty of fats and proteins and lots of filling vegetables. You won’t be hungry!   Examples of meals: organic sausage and eggs with guacamole for breakfast; wild salmon and blueberries on a big salad for lunch; lots of sauteed veggies with some baked chicken for dinner.
I’ve thought of going gluten free. Will this DVD help me?
I've thought of going gluten free. Will this DVD help me?
The Diet for Human Beings and Paleo are grain free, so it’s “beyond gluten-free.” Avoid processed gluten-free foods such as GF cookies and tortillas. They’re high in carbs and usually contain Omega-6 vegetable oils and food additives
I’m scared of fats because of my high cholesterol and triglycerides . Isn't fat bad?
We’ve been taught that saturated animal fats and coconut oil are bad. But it’s the commercial vegetable oils that are dangerous. We ate coconuts, animals and animal fat throughout history, but never canola, soy or peanut oil. I’ll explain which fats to eat and which to avoid, and why.
I have a lot of pain as well as bowel problems. Will this help?
The Diet for Human Beings is an anti-inflammatory diet, and highly digestible. Most people have less pain and reduced bloating and gas. Bowels improve, whether you currently have loose stools or constipation. There may be other work to do to heal your intestines, but this is the perfect place to start.
Will my diabetes or high triglycerides improve?
Many clients show a dramatic decrease in triglycerides in a very short time and have had their medications reduced or eliminated. Diabetes and triglycerides are related to high carbohydrate eating and Insulin surges. The Diet for Human Beings will change that and allow more protein and fats to stop sugar cravings and hunger. Fix the problem rather than medicate the symptom!
How is this different from Paleo that others teach? What IS The Diet for Human Beings?
There are many versions of “Paleo.” Some allow “healthy sugars” with lots of sweet potatoes and fruit. Some versions are very high fat. The Diet for Human Beings is more balanced. Carbohydrates should come from vegetables and smaller amounts of tubers or starchy squash and fruit. Some versions of Paleo suggest 75% of your calories as fat but that’s not balanced. The Diet for Human Beings is the way humans are built to eat, what we evolved eating, therefore, the foods we require most.
Who is Beverly and why did she film this?
Beverly is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist with a lifetime of health issues. She has been in practice 30 years helping herself and clients with many types of concerns, using Food First, lifestyle changes, and supplements. The DVD was originally designed to give to clients and those who cannot see Beverly in person.
How long is the DVD and what’s the best way to watch?
How long is the DVD and what's the best way to watch?
The DVD is 70 minutes with 12 chapters, divided every few minutes with slides. Pause on every slide to stop, read and think. Ask yourself, “Did I understand everything just said?” If not, repeat that section, several times if needed. Watch it over several days, not all at once.
Are there reviews?
Yes, see the current DVD page for reviews from Grass Fed Girl, the Weston Price Foundation and several viewers. There also are reviews on Amazon.
