You say to eat less, but the question is, what do you eat less of? You still need calories. Let's say you cut back your diet so you only eat 1000 calories of doughnuts. That's eating less, yet I guarantee you will still be sick.
- 0xcde4c3db 8y agoThis is a huge problem. Way too much diet advice takes the concept of a "balanced" diet for granted, while descriptions of what that means tend to be at least one of: 1) uselessly vague (eat "a variety" of foods, eat sugar "sparingly", get "enough" fiber, and so on; "eat lots of colors" is actual dietary advice that has been given by credentialed dietitians), 2) driven by some fringe/fad theory of nutrition, or 3) based on unrealistic or parochial assumptions of which foods are readily available/affordable.
