Nah, humans can thrive with eating a huge variety of foods. The atkins-type diets, as far as I've seen, are followed by panda-bear-shaped folks who maintain that panda-bear-shape no matter what.
If we really understood (as a society) what truly makes for a good diet, people would be getting slimmer and not fatter.
IMHO, the most sensible diet advice comes from Michael Pollan: "Eat real food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
- fanboy123 15y agoSounds like a recipe for being hungry all the time.
- sliverstorm 15y agoYou might be surprised. I'm not a health nut- I'm too in love with breads to give up grains, for starters- but I've found that some foods really are a lot better at making you feel full than others. Pasta? Terrible. The shepard's pie I ate today? Really good. Stew or soup? Amazing.
- robchez 15y agoSociety doesn't understand thanks to the government pushing the food pyramid/plate down their throats and the low-fat diet crud. Check out a cross-fit gym anywhere and see if you can find the pand-bear-shaped folks.
- sliverstorm 15y agoI would guess the lack of panda-bear folks at a cross-fit gym is not because cross-fit works, but because cross-fit culls the panda-bears very quickly.
