The mistake many people subsequently make is in believing that
because their health improved, whatever they did is the best that
they can do. This is not necessarily true; as long as the new diet is
even marginally better than what they were doing before, they will
see their health improve. This creates a lot of confusion and has
many people stuck enjoying better health than they were before, but
much less optimal than is possible.

Steven: What do you feel is the optimal diet for humans?

Loren: As a student of nature, I see no other logical conclusion
Steven. There are 800,000 different species and every other one has
a species-specific diet; it seems incredibly unlikely that we would be
the one exception. And with digestive systems that are nearly
identical to our closest primate relatives, it seems clear to me that
our optimal diet would necessarily be very similar to theirs: primarily
fruit and soft tender leaves.

Steven: And this is how you eat, correct?
