The problem with meat… isn’t the meat - it’s the bad company it keeps

      Ah… plant confuses me because spinach is a plant too

      spinach isn’t really being confounded with meat in FFQs.

      but your saying immediately available carbohydrates vs fats

      I’m not saying anything about immediate or delayed carbohydrates - but I will now - They are both bad, they both get converted into blood glucose, which isn’t healthy. Food that spikes blood glucose (even with a 15m delay) is not healthy.

      fiber and stuff

      if you enjoy fibre, it seems to be a net positive for people on a high carbohydrate diet, that’s great! but it isn’t necessary when the diet is nutritionally adequate and without toxic food (like blood glucose spiking carbs)

          Sure, real food is probably going to good for most people - nothing from a factory, oil processing plant - no bags, no boxes.

              A zero carb diet is a very low inflammatory eating pattern - it’s a option to consider. Instead of adding anti-oxidants to your diet, remove the oxidants and inflammatory foods from it - less work for your body overall.

                  removing ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, and industrial seed oils as much as possible seems more logical to me.

                  Those are great levers! that is probably enough for most people.

                  That was certainly my first step to improving my metabolic health. I can also recommend wearing a continuous glucose monitor.
