Advice for the average person with a typical western diet boils down to “would it kill you to eat a damn vegetable?”
I heard a hypothesis that all “diets that work” have one thing in common (which is probably the only reason they work) -- they recommend eating more vegetables than you were eating previously, but they achieve it mostly indirectly, by banning something else. Also, they indirectly make you eat less, by making you pay more attention to what you eat, and banning some of your previously favorite meals.
For example, vegetarian or vegan diet seems like an opposite of paleo diet, but the one thing they have in common is that they ban something other than vegetables (meat in case of vegetarian or vegan, grains in case of paleo). If you take your previous eating habits, and just remove that one component, it increases the relative proportion of vegetables in what is left.
This makes me think about a diet, not sure if someone else invented it first, that would go like: “each day, first eat this amount of vegetables, and then eat whatever you want, how much you want, until 6 PM”. (Probably would go with specific list of vegetables, like “one cucumber, one tomato, one carrot...”, but ultimately the exact list doesn’t matter, it just makes planning easier.)
my government engineering job 8 years in pays more than and end of career dietitian despite the higher level of education, and the masters would require me to work 9-5 for 6 months for free)
Could the masters degree open for you possibilities other than working as a career dietitian? For example, would it make legal for you to provide expensive private diet advice?
For mere 20% of profit, I would let you use my magical diet explained above. :D
