⚠️ PROGRESS SHARING CHECKPOINT ⚠️

What's a strong belief you held on this date last year, that you now look back and laugh at?

I'll go first:

2023:

"Fruit & honey are healthy. Strict #Carnivore people are too extreme; #AnimalBased folks who promote lots of meat AND fruit have found the pinnacle of human nutrition."

2024:

Welp, the "crazy carnivores" were right. Fruit & honey are indeed a negative for your body; it all just turns into sugar in your gut (plus some bonus indigestable fiber in fruit's case). If optimal health is your goal, 100% animal products and ZERO carbohydrates is the true bottom of the rabbit hole. Some folks can tolerate certain carbs & sugars better than others, but those who promote these things as HEALTHY are either under-researched, or rationalizing their own individual sugar addictions via mental gymnastics on the public stage.

I give the bulk of the credit for this knowledge upgrade to @anthony_chaffee. To anyone who's in line with 2023 Ben above, I dare you to take the deep dive into the Plant Free MD podcast, and not come out the other side with your mind blown and your refrigerator void of all vegetables AND fruit.

2025 : There's no truth in the diet wars. I will eat what's locally in season. Meat is always in season. Eating intuitively is the way. Real food only

Rational take. Your ancestors 10,000 years ago didn’t pass on fruit because it “just turns into sugar in your gut” they just ate whatever was available because they wanted to stay alive.

they absolutely would pass on it unless they were starving to death from failed hunts, since pre-agricultural-revolution fruit was smaller, more bitter, and far more toxic. only reason modern fruit is so juicy and delicious is because humans intervened and hybridized the living hell out of all of it to please tastebuds >>> sell more product

But they did fail hunts often so they’d have a decent amount of fruit. Also humans have also done similar to animals
