Here is a shorthand way to figure out if a food is nutritious: if it is fatty beef, eggs, or sardines, then it is nutritious and you should eat it. If it is not fatty beef, eggs, or sardines, then it is less nutritious and you should not eat it.
If you follow this rule religiously, then you will end up in phenomenal shape regardless of the number of calories you eat. It is impossible to eat in a more nutritious manner than I have described: fatty beef, eggs, and sardines. That's it. And drink only water. Everything else is junk.
- tomrod 4y agoThat's a funny way to spell "delicious carrots and hummus"! :) I've recently (for about 3 months) adopted a low sodium diet and, frankly, the taste of _everything_ has changed after a few weeks. Vegetables are downright delicious in a way I could never put my finger on before.
- stronglikedan 4y agoPedantic, and I know what you mean, but the taste hasn't changed! You've encouraged the growth of the gut stuff (microbiome) that eats veggies, and they've outnumbered the gut stuff that doesn't, so you desire them more. Your taste has changed, and that's a good thing.
- tomrod 4y agoIndeed. I appreciate the correction :)
- jononomo 4y agoAnd the volume of your poop has certainly increased, since vegetable matter contains undigestible fiber, which animal-based foods do not contain. Enjoy pooping and farting more!
- hombre_fatal 4y agoEveryone thinks their favorite/pet diet is a panacea.
- jononomo 4y agoYes, but in my case I believe the carnivore diet is a literal panacea -- not only do I think it would cure all human chronic disease, but I think it would be a boon for the environment as well as curing most mental health disorders. Eating mostly red meat is the only intelligent way forward for humanity.

- elil17 4y agoThe whole point of the paper is that there are many factors which are believed to influence whether a food is healthy. The model takes into account these factors and recommends foods that many different bodies of evidence agree are healthy. That way you aren't putting all your eggs in one health science basket, so to speak.
