How do I learn the principles of the ideal diet? I'm a 35 year old Indian following traditional diet but with much less rice and more pulses/beans with organic ingredients (if they are are not lying).

- nradov 2y agoAn "ideal" diet will maintain energy balance, avoid high doses of certain toxins, and include sufficient essential amino acids, fiber, and micronutrients. Beyond those basics there is no such thing as an ideal diet once you get into specifics. We simply don't know, and most human nutrition research is junk science barely worth publishing. Anyone who claims they know what is ideal is simply ignorant or trying to sell you something. As a practical matter, if you really care about optimizing your own diet then conduct your own n=1 experiments by adding or removing certain foods. Do you feel better? How do your blood sugar levels change? Does your athletic performance improve? This isn't really scientific but good enough for most people.
