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

    It’s salt, sugar,

    salt isn’t unhealthy, we should be eating much more salt on the whole then we are.

    empty carbohydrates stripped of all nutrients, and additives that do who knows what to your gut microbiome.

    processed carbs are bad, but a sick person (which is 94% of adults) isn’t going to have a good time with a natural carb either.

    Nutrition is complicated, and individually different.

    Welcome to the zero carb community where all of us are super into nutrition!

    But one advice you can give to everyone to eat healthier is: Avoid long ingredient lists and refined sugar.

    I’ll agree with whole foods only - but I’d add avoid all carbs when possible.

    The ideal diet is one made from basic ingredients, no matter if you’re carnivore or vegan.

    100% - but 98% of people are neither carnivore or vegan, so we need to educate them on what is really killing them.

      I agree salt by itself is fine, but combined with sugar and other simple carbohydrates, you’ve got all the triggers that make people addicted to junk food.
      I won’t comment on the other points since I disagree on plants being bad in general, but neither of us will be able to convince the other. So eat what you like and what agrees with you, and I’ll do the same.

      I just wish there were more recipe and picture posts in this community.

        yup, totally agreed, salt combined with carbohydrates (simple or complex) is a recipe for hyper tension.

        100%. Allow me to have some nuance - people can be, and are, perfectly healthy on a plant based diet. i.e. lots of people tolerant plants very well, but not everybody can.

        I post food on occasion - but my version of zero carb is quite lazy! so my food photos are a little repetitive
