Called "Superman's slightly fitter grandad" by the London Times and the "grandfather of the Paleo Movement" by the New York Times, 72 year old Arthur De Vany is a scientist/athlete and the creator of Evolutionary Fitness, the first integrated model of Paleo diet, intermittent fasting, and exercise. A former professional athlete and life-long student of exercise and metabolism, he is a living example of what he teaches: at the age of 72 he is 6'1", 205 pounds and has 8% body fat. He has lived as a Paleo/Athlete for more than 25 years.

Dr. De Vany is Professor Emeritus of the University of California in economics and mathematical behavioral sciences who is best known for his research in decentralized, complex economic systems and the author of more than 100 scientific articles and books. He is the author of the most acclaimed book on the movie industry, Hollywood Economics, and of the forthcoming book on the EF diet, The New Evolution Diet (Rodale in the US and Vermillion in the UK). His biography is published in Who's Who in the World.

His beautiful, 72 year old wife is the creator of the New Evolution Cuisine and you will find many pictures and recipes of her meals inside the private site.

Evolutionary Fitness is the superior technology for attaining health, a lean body, and a more peaceful mind. EF, as we call it, uses methods that are true to our genes to express the health and longevity that are our rightful genetic heritage. Most of the chronic diseases humans suffer from today --- diabetes, heart disease, obesity, inflammatory diseases, cancer, depression, aging --- are novel to modern humans and were not part of our evolutionary heritage. These diseases are primarily diseases of metabolism and can often be reversed or avoided by attaining a healthful metabolism with a strong, lean body.
