How are bears so huge? If I ate nothing but berries and salmon I’d probably be really slender.
I think comparing our diets to bears does not make sense at all … our systems are completely different.
A bear can eat massive amounts of food in a short period of time, gain lots of weight and then fast for several months and go to sleep and do nothing.
If we tried the same thing, we’d probably go into cardiac arrest, or some serious intestinal problems if we ate too much too fast in a short amount of time … and then we’d ruin our kidneys and liver and probably die of starvation if we went on fast after.
If you ate berries and salmon in the quantities bears do, you would absolutely not be very slender. That’s a diet of protein, fat, and sugars.
Im concerned with folks nutritional competency. Salmon has a lot of fat
Bears tend to eat larger portions.
And more frequently .
They also eat apples, plums, quinces and other fruit. They can reach them standing on their hind legs and are also good climbers.
If you want to body build you eat that as well
BeefCAKE!!
They eat moths when up above vegetation line
I’ve heard that bears feeding on salmon will eat only the high-value parts of the salmon and abandon the rest to scavengers, so I can believe it. More efficient when there’s a lot.
What do elephants eat? Whales?
