I have posted on the web the diet and fitness theories that I developed in my research for my (nearly finished) book: Evolutionary Fitness. The diet and activity models are a blend of ideas from complex adaptive systems theory and evolution. A lot of guidance to the research literature on the diet side came from this group (though nothing I have seen in the research has changed the diet I have followed for some 15 years). The key strategies and a precise of my book along with a short preview of chapter 1 may be accessed from URL: http://www.socsci.uci.edu/mbs/personnel/devany/EvolutionaryFitness.html I would be interested in comments and even vigorous criticism. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arthur De Vany Professor Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences 3151 Social Science Plaza Irvine, CA 92697-5100 949-824-5269 [log in to unmask] http://www.socsci.uci.edu/mbs/personnel/devany/devany.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
