You don't come back with meat most of the time. Only 1 in 5 hunts are successful. What you come back with are root vegetables, that look a bit like sweet potatoes. So 60% of a hunting and gathering diet is complex carbohydrate.
It may well go against FSA or other traditional recommendations but that doesn't necessarily make it flawed. Many points he's making make a lot of sense - to me anyway. I liked his interpetation of fight/flight "glucose on site" scenario. There definitely seems to be more complexity around the fat-loss/accumulation issue than what a simplistic "no carb" approach offers but insulin-sensitivity does appear to be one of the key factors.
Your plate of food goes against what the Food Standards Agency would recommend. Along with all the dangers one hears about a high protein diet in the west. You can see why people are confused on the subject. Your plate of food looks just like the Atkins plate.

He mentions that Hunter Gatherers ate lean meats, but I would think they ate everything, including the juicy fat.
During exercise, it would be great to measure insulin and see if it dips to single digits.. unfortunately, glucose meters don't measure that!

Atkins is high fat , medium protein , low carb
im sure this guy is also high fat , medium protein , low carb
your confused because these diets are not high protein diets
the macro nutrient % is about like 65% fat , 30% protein , 5% carbohydrates
aka high fat , mediumn protein , low carb
these % are very healthy i have ate this way for over 6 years now and it cured all my illnesses includeing obesty and IBS
