Please consider reading the Starch Solution by McDougall. Or watch some of his youtube videos. It's the easiest way to look at nutrition. If interested, add How Not To Die by Greger. Nice youtube video of him at Google online. But a lot of information. Don't get confused by this. Go back to McDougall after watching this! :-) Add Campbell's Whole or one of his recent youtube videos. If you want to be blown away by what the meat and dairy industries are doing to humans (and animals of course). It's like with the tobacco industry 50-something years ago! It's a shame that money is allowed to kill people in the millions with the governments knowing about it. And oh my the cruelty against animals.. Bad karma.. :-( Anyway, avoid processed foods, yes. Processed sugar. Don't say "avoid sugar". Don't fear natural sugar! Fruits are good for you. But don't combine with fat! In a gist: The fat will be in your blood stream, blocking absorption of the sugars when you really want the sugar to be available for your muscles. Studies and data online. Known for many decades. Somewhat more extreme: Read Graham's 80/10/10. I'm on his high fruit 80/10/10 raw diet as much as possible - living in Germany where there isn't that much good fruits. I compensate with McDougall based starchy foods when i run out of fruits. I sometimes eat two to four pounds of oven baked potatoes.. :-) Eating between 3000 and 6000 calories a day. Exercising moderately for 30 to 60 minutes 3 to 5 days a week. Spending rest of time mostly sitting and standing(!) at my computer. Keeping my weight and body fat around 10% easily. The body isn't stupid. It will not turn carbs into body fat easily. Note that I'm not saying keto diets etc don't work. High carb diets just seem to have a much better karma. Environmental factors, animal cruelty, and looking back at history, the human race survived and thrived and starches. Studies and data all there online. The gist: We could easily feed 10 billion people on this planet with carbs. But doing this on the back of helpless creates like cows, pigs and chickens, will f* up our environment and cost far too much of our resources. Consider karma in all you do.. ^^
