Balanced Existence

The argument that weight loss must comply with the first law of thermodynamics seems at first glance to be rather unassailable. The first law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy law that states energy can neither be created nor destroyed. From this the idea arose that a calorie is a calorie no matter what macronutrient (carbohydrate, fat or protein) it may come from.

Evolution is the scientific paradigm that governs biology. As biological organisms we are thus governed by evolution. This means our requirements in regards to diet, exercise, sunlight, and general lifestyle in order to survive and even flourish is predicated upon the conditions experienced by our distant human ancestors.
