Nutrition is probably the most corrupt science as of date (or maybe it’s just fallible, with all that epistemic bs going on?).
Nutritionists don’t have a clue. They are only right about one thing: don’t eat sweets and processed foods. Don’t eat too much. Drink some water. Etc. But that’s still far from healthy. If you wanna learn about nutrition if you to scoop the fringes of the Internet like I have done for years.
The basis is a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting (IF being the most important part). Whereas currently nutritionists will tell you to eat 6-7 times a day. This is not good for most of us who’ve wrecked our metabolisms with modern lifestyles. Yet the paradigm is slowly changing.
People like Dr. Eric Berg on YouTube.
Yet keto people don’t have it all right. Like mainstream nutritionists, they’ll tell you to eat tons of vegetables and seeds. This is completely unnecessary since all the nutrients can be found in animal foods and in much more bio available forms. Vegetables/seeds also have anti-nutrients, whereas animal foods don’t. The main concern is oxalates, which is a very direct cause to kidney stones, one of the most painful conditions. The second main concern is that too much fiber is actually detrimental for the colon, since our colons due to evolutionary reasons are not as complex as those of apes. We are apes who’ve descended from the trees and started eating more animal foods than plants.
But that doesn’t make the carnivore-dieters right either. We still need a little fiber to feed the gut bacteria (though a carnivore diet can be healthy if it contains plenty of fermented foods to substitute fiber, like Eskimos do, but some fiber is much more feasible). You can also get more vitamin C from a few plants, more folate, more manganese, and more minerals for the same calories if you choose low calorie plants. Which plants? Low carb fruits, mushrooms, possibly some low oxalate vegetables here and there if you want.
Both of these groups also agree that dairy is good for you. Dairy is probably the most inflammatory food group, for some people even more than processed foods. Adults lose the ability to digest lactose, plus casein is very allergy prone. Plus hormones which adults don’t need.
Now the least popular part: salt. We shouldn’t eat salt. Any salt. It creates excess water retention, leading to headaches, acne, hypertension, etc. How many other animals eat salt? Ok, deers will have a lick here and there, but I don’t think it’s several grams a day, and they don’t have food abundance like we do. We can get all our minerals from food and high mineral water.
So, the ideal human diet: 1 to 2 meals a day with at least 20h of fasting per day, max 25-50g carbs, plenty of nutrient rich animal foods with some low carb fruits (cucumber, tomato, avocado, berries, etc), mushrooms, maybe a little lettuce, carrots, etc. No (too much) vegetables, no seeds of any kind, no dairy, no spices, no sweets and processed meats/foods (all of these are inflammatory to humans).
