Unfortunately I have the same problem with sources as the original poster. Nutrition science has become so sensationalized that it's hard to take any of it seriously.
I take my cue mostly from an instinct developed over years of paying attention to how my diet makes me feel. Stuff like CSIRO's book [http://www.csiro.au/science/TWD.html http://www.csiro.au/science/TWD.html] do influence that instinct - I feel that their research is somewhat removed from the profit motive.
- modeless 16y agoI prefer science to instinct. One human lifetime doesn't provide nearly enough opportunities for diet experiments to determine all the correct answers for yourself, even if you could separate real diet effects from personal bias, the placebo effect, and other influences in your life.
- rimantas 16y agoAlas, science has the same trouble. Too many variables, hard to tell anything for sure.
- rphlx 16y agoOn the contrary, it only takes about 4 weeks to try a new protein/fat/carb split. Try high protein and high fat, then fine tune whatever worked best for you. I agree you can't detect subtle long term health problems this way, though.
