Unfortunately, health and diets are not like new and fashionable programming concepts - there is no quick hack and no one way that turns everything on its head.

Unfortunately, health and diets are not like new and fashionable programming concepts - there is no quick hack and no one way that turns everything on its head.
Processed foods cause health issues.
Saturated fats definitely cause health issues.
Processed sugars definitely cause health issues.
You may have heard this before, but whole fruit, vegetables, greens, starches, beans, lentils and nuts - are the healthiest foods for you - as shown by science, population studies, metabolic ward studies, randomized double blind placebo studies and studying the habits of longest lived populations.
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoFruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and animals products. These are food. But the idea that "saturated fats definitely cause health issues" is shaky at best, and downright causing negative health outcomes at worst. We can have our fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and animals products, and drown them in as much butter, coconut oil, lard, etc, as you can stand to eat - which generally isn't a lot, so long as you don't burn those fats, and your health will improve over any other eating plan. We know this because every. fucking. person. who does it (and doesn't have a liver / gall bladder problem, or some other clinical malabsorption problem that needs to be fixed first) reports improved well being, mental clarity, improved energy levels.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoMaybe an exaggeration - not everybody. Some feel lack of energy, don't digest nuts well, get gas from legumes, get fat off of fruit.
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoSorry, yes, good point. I didn't mean to imply everyone should all of those things though it was written that way. Of course restrict or eliminate those which don't work for you.
