I mostly agree, but I've never spared the fat when dieting, just the carbs. You can make a highly varied diet of delicious food if you're cool with fat (you have to be very conscious of how many calories you're consuming, though, because it's very easy to go overboard). A Kale salad with an oil-based dressing and absolutely loaded with nuts and cheese is not something I would consider a chore to eat.
- stcredzero 7y agoA Kale salad with an oil-based dressing and absolutely loaded with nuts and cheese is not something I would consider a chore to eat. That depends. Eat anything a bit too often, and it becomes a chore. As you note above, the diet being "highly varied" is very important.

- internet_user 7y agothere is some anec-data that very repetitive diet, as long as it actually covers all your nutritional needs, is actually better for you, health-wise. Some guess it has to do with immune system activation, GI biome optimized for digestion of these repetitive specific foods you eat, etc. I often wonder if benefits of keto actually come not only from ketones themselves, but also from the fact that keto diets are often very limited, and often to often (relatively) hypoallergenic foods.
