How early man invented by accident the modern economy the perfect diet
Prof. Arthur de - and a sound economic theory that focuses on Extreme, translate it became challenging lifestyle diet and fitness guru of Nassim Nicholas Taleb. In an exclusive interview to the "threshold Reuters" he explains why the capital market works like evolution, but working against her fitness rooms
Arthur de - I have an enviable body of a Greek god.186 cm of sculpted muscle, six blocks glory stomach, Logihiach low fat (6.7%) muscle mass of 18-year-old boy. His good cholesterol is very high, perfectly normal blood pressure, extremely low level of insulin. His fun run Asfrintim up the hills near his home in Washington, Utah, or pull his jeep outside the garage with his bare hands. The man called "thin grandfather of Superman" is a walking advertisement for health, another month he'll be 73.
His principle is simple: "I designed myself as a 40 thousand years ago, put it once. 25 years ago he adopted the lifestyle of early man developed the method of evolutionary fitness (Evolutionary Fitness, EF) recommends eating almost everything, not including carbohydrates, lactose and processed agricultural products; to do physical activity is very short, intense and focused; do both in occasional random, not organized or consistent manner and without any plan.Whenever they want, what comes out, what fits.

On his face, de - I sound like another fitness guru, one of many. So what made him the guru of the masses more than 150 countries, amateur athletes and senior academics, including the estimated economic philosopher Nicholas Nassim Nicholas Taleb?
The fact that field - and is an economist, and that his lifestyle is based on economic theory. He worked three decades as a professor at the University of California, enjoying the grants and published one hundred academic articles. Most of them were great enlightenment of de - I, conclusion amateur models in the world economy is nothing short of revolutionary: the bell curve normal distribution model are crap. Thought that the world is organized around the far edges average negligible average - completely detached from reality. Each system, claimed de - and the revolutionary theory published in the early seventies, is dynamic, influenced by random events and rare. And any attempt to subject it to any system or rules of rational decision making - is designed fail. De - I went all-out war in the mathematical models and statistics, bread and butter of the economy.
"In the field of finance and dramatic events have seemed to materialize very small chances, but they are reasonable when we think," explains de - and an exclusive interview to the "threshold Reuters." "Large events with very low probability of financial environment dominated for long periods. We all try to be consistent and systematic mode, but at the same time systems that adapt to change, try to preserve their lives and rarely in equilibrium and balance. In fact, they are retained by the dynamics - in movies, finance and human physiology. Try to plan a complex economy or control your diet and training - it's devastating. "This starting point, de - I went to change his life.
New model: the financial chaos of carbohydrates damage
It took a decade to field - and I was able to draw the line between complex economy balanced training program. In the early seventies he focused on collapse of old statistical models, assuming a village around the world converge average follow prove the most significant events are rare events in a far greater influence than the average. The recent financial crisis, by the way, is just an example of this - it was customary to think of the average event routine is that the banks are stable and earn money. But then came a moment, as it were from the edge of the bell curve, and delete the spaces, change the rules and the average model proved unfounded.

In other words, de - I believe in chaos, and concluded natural order arising spontaneously out of chaos will be more effective than a design or model. There is nothing to predict, there is nothing to show economic forecasts. Need to let things happen, like evolution."Emerging markets themselves. You can not predict how they should behave," reads his page on the University of California. This theory de - I studied and demonstrated on a variety of systems - infrastructure trains, airlines, film industry course. Much of his research economy business Hollywood - de - amateur film and I tried to understand how stars and marketing affect revenue from movies and what factors that make a film a success or failure. In other words, he tried to frame and predict the relationship between investment earnings from the film, without success - until he concluded that there is no coherent system of variables to explain why some films fail and others become breakers funds. Variety of articles on the subject, in 2003 were collected for the book "Hollywood Economics", was one conclusion: the income dynamics of the film is so complex that it almost chaotic. Like any other economic system, not a movie "average." After all, the world average were not Christian films like "Titanic," "Gone With the Wind" and "Star Wars."
It was all still pretty theoretical, remote from the life of de - I, until the sugar has started to. Diagnosed early eighties Bonnie, first wife of de - I, two-year-old son Brandon Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes). De - I was looking for a way to stay healthy, and realized that if you give up carbs sugars glucose in their bodies would be in control. He concluded that a high level of insulin - pancreas secreted or injected - is harmful to the body. The conclusions led to a new family menu and efficient; after a period when his wife gave up on carbohydrates sugars is needed very little insulin, and "one doctor refused to believe she was diabetic the first place," recalls de - I.
The conclusions of the house he took the university. He consulted with researchers, studied the evolution, biology and genetics, and found that early man did not eat carbohydrates or amino Lkttiut that are milk products. Slowly, things came together in his dynamic economic theory: He grabbed the human body as a system, just like any economic system. Therefore he must be carried by the natural order of things, and not according to these methods arranged as doctors tried to enforce the Bonnie and Brandon. But contrary to economic systems have hard to find a historical model of the natural order, the human body was an excellent example - Cro's life - gardening, the first modern human who lived 35 thousand years ago.
"It suddenly became a whole movement," he says, laughing. "People call me 'the father of the movement of ancient man. I live to more than 25 years, and I'm an athlete, very thin and healthy. Except for two cases of seafood poisoning in restaurants, I was not sick from the mid-eighties."
And how is Brandon?
"He is very healthy. He gave me five grandchildren, and it's significant that diabetes sometimes makes it difficult for people to have children. His diabetes under control as long as he does break a diet."
Eat only when hungry, pulling a jeep hands
This diet is based on the eating habits of Cro - Ganon. He ate random chance - when he was hungry or when he had nothing to eat, eating, probably, only what he could hunt or gather. He did not go to the supermarket, and eating plenty dazzled just because it was there, seductive, well packaged sweet and rich in sugar, the body's genetic material is unable to deal with. De - and I believe that eating healthy random chance like this much more than a diet of three meals a day, count calories and rich in carbohydrates.
So 25 years has been de - I eat only when hungry. His breakfast is usually dinner's leftovers (Yes, even meat), and the menu includes family fat-free meat, lots of fish and seafood, fruits and vegetables. De - and I lived happily with occasional fasting or skipping meals, two great enemies of most dietitians. He calls it "nutritional stress."
"Visit - Ganon There were times of plenty and periods of nutritional stress enormous, and it's not necessarily bad," he explains. "Our genes live it, they keep us alive when tension nutrition, fasting and good events of the body. I like people skipping meals occasionally, and those who do it say it's easy and that they did not feel any panic or starvation."
Stress also maintained a similar exercise with regard to the Cro - Ganon.He was just fit, without strict training on the treadmill, without counting push-ups, not obsessed with training. Early man went slowly all day, ran out quickly only if he saw his potential lunch or a predator in the area that came back. So just live de - I, ease, and occasionally - no more than two - three times a week, sometimes not even once - Draft short training of no more than 30 minutes, very intense and full of challenges and intense and short.
He discusses, inter alia, at tennis, golf, baseball, weight lifting, walking, Asfrintim (up or down hills and deep ocean blue), riding a mountain bike up the hills, skating and rollerblading and riding on motorcycles. In some of these branches is about his youth, but in recent years added a new hobby: for a massive building muscle in minimum time, de - I drag the Range Rover of his own hand.

| According to Dee and I, diets are a complete failure | Trip to the Bank |
Some people who live by dietary consistency methods - say, counting calories - or formal training programs, manage to lose weight and stay thin and trim.
"Most people adopt a regime of diet has a strong chance to return to the original weight two years after they stopped her. Diets are a complete failure, most of them do not hold over time that they try to limit the energy, then the body loses muscle mass and metabolic system collapses.
"Most diets recommend three meals a day, and it's stupid. It's completely opposite of what our body needs. Our genes are expressed best by the gaps between meals and training. My financial research also showed that most things do not occur in the normal distribution, the most powerful events far from the average they give us the highest reward. They allow our genes express themselves properly. So instead of a consistent training treadmill you do some Asfrintim fun, heavy lifting, and stops. "
I love you say "Asfrintim years." You're an athlete your whole life, but there are people who hate to do sports. There is no chance that they will have Sprint.
"You know what, think about the children's game template - This is exactly the pattern of exercise that I recommend it that our ancestors lived. Traffic in a random, eat and enjoy the energetic way traffic."
Black Swan reveals the secret of true randomness
Greater movement of the de - I have many followers today who live on the mouth. One of them is Nicholas Nassim Nicholas Taleb, an expert management, capital market philosopher and author - best-selling "The Black Swan." Connection between the two is not only personal, but also theoretical: Taleb's black swan lives in a dynamic world of Cro - Ganon.
Taleb came Nativity - and when he reached for a diet is ideal. He sign the menu, the training program - and the theoretical principle. The new edition of the "Black Swan" Taleb published this year devoted to de - and an entire chapter. "I spent my life thinking about the randomness, Taleb wrote," I missed a major thing: living organisms (whether a human body or economics) need a variety of randomness.'s More, they have extreme range of extreme stressors, or are vulnerable, and totally missed it (...) After the 'Aha! I adopted my lifestyle, Axtriimstny ', under Art de - I. ""Axtrimstan" Taleb's terminology, is a world where extreme events dictate the routine. Just as with the de - I.

"We correspond and talk a lot, and I give him tips on training," says de - I, who enjoyed the ostentatiously adoring celebrity with whom he replaces economic ideas. "He rode his bicycle to work, his diet was not horrible. But I told him that he might believe the broad impact of the exceptional event - but no more training than average. And he said: 'God, that's right, I practiced for hours on a bicycle and did not understand the damage it causes usefulness is not there. He changed his training, cut carbohydrates lost 13 kg in weight. "
Why cycling really so bad? It's a very popular sport riders look great.
"There is this thing called death training - too many people die due to cycling and jogging." He said the death may be caused excessive exercise that does not fit with the natural order of the body. For example, a healthy heart is not beating evenly, but intense sports makes him a consistent metronome causing him harm.
So what's the alternative?
"If people would spend some time walking, running, some weights, some Asfrintim, it was more effective. What people do today is to live within the energy measure. They go to the gym, too far in there, or they run a marathon, and that harmless heart system Huoskolrit, admittedly - runners have relatively poor enough body athletes, such as short-distance runner. athletes much more powerful, and as you are older you should be stronger. weightlifting not only strengthens your body, but also builds muscle mass, giving you the power to catch yourself before you fall. If you're strong and can run Sprint - nothing will stop you. "
Salmon and asparagus are the real recipe of life satisfaction
Dynamic way of life but also his careful de found - and a great partner - his second wife Carmela, his age. "Since we met and started living by my life style is down five dimensions," he boasts, "She looks great. You should hear her friends tell her: 'Stop to lose weight, you're so thin. We play together a lot of tennis, and is can move slightly and the Range Rover. is a very strong woman ". His site de - I call her "Wonder Woman", and she offers her recipes for wind surfers where prehistoric man.
"I love salmon and eat lots of celery", demonstrates de - I. "We plan our meal by the texture and colors, which would be aesthetic. Usually I eat fish or meat, and lots of asparagus. You know that since the Ice Age - and we all came from there - people who ate lots of fish and seafood. If you eat salmon and vegetables and be healthy as a horse. I look at recipes on the site to see what else we ate last ... Oh, oyster sauce about Mariner, ribs. "
Even on your birthday you do not spoil yourself some good cake or ice cream?
"If I wanted to treat myself to probably eat lobster dinner. It's my definition of pleasure."
Still, he admits, he knows that fans enjoy what sweet carbohydrate consider fun. "Last month, Atlantic City, we saw a deli that looked wonderful. I ate a sandwich with ham and some cheese cake - I love cheesecake - it was great. Cheesecake is the worst combination that can be - mixed with fat and carbohydrates. But I do what I feel suit me. "
And beyond any dietary restrictions, it is the basis of the EF - do what works, and flow with it. The working assumption, that random events can disrupt an informed decision-making, is key to life with a lot less stress.Free diet is just another manifestation of this.
"If you live on a diet regime you are trying to control everything, measure everything, and lived a constant sense of hunger," explains de - I. "In EF you do not restrict calories, the diet helps you eat naturally. This system also ensures that the brain is fed well, he's not desperate and thirsty glucose. In the end you feel full of doubt, and over time feel better. You are an effective and powerful that You're strong, keeps your energy, does not suffer injuries, releases the hormones in the brain.'s substantial base of a feeling of satisfaction out of life. "
You expect that your EF prolong life, not only will improve the quality?
"No. I think it's hard to live more than 120 years, and more than 100 not sure that's life you'd want to live. My goal is to improve the quality of life in my remaining years, then I hope it all ends at once, I would fall off a cliff. This is the best most, "he says, laughing.
