Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.

This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...

I’m not sure I agree on the dairy part given what we know about raw milk and its nutritional benefits but excellent list. It’s key to keep it simple it doesn’t need to be complicated. Eat real food. That existed 150 years ago. Single ingredient. That also summarizes a similar list of removing processed foods and so many veggies didn’t exist that long ago funny enough.

150 years go - are you fucking retarded ?

humans share 98.8% of DNA with Chimps.

how much new DNA do you think humans gained in the last 150 year ?

Thats the point. Look at a cookbook from over 100 years ago. So much has changed. Mostly the types of fats we eat

you don't "know" anything about raw milk ( and probably about anything at all )

you watched some youtube videos

STFU

You don’t know who you are talking to so not sure why you are assuming that 🤣🤣

real knowledge is a tree

you can make an idiot believe anything because he has no roots ( knowledge of fundamentals ) nor stem ( intelligence ) only the leaves ( opinions )

idiots determine truth value of a statement based in one of two ways

1 - does it sound good to the ear ? is it something i would like to believe ?

2 - are "our guys" saying or "their guys" saying it ?

you go do some self reflection and figure out if you are a true intellectual like me or an idiot like everybody else.

i honestly don't know ( or care ) which one you are.

Mental health and yelling randomly at people and projecting… look within

keeping it simple is indeed key for simple people like you.

You don’t agree that we should be eating real food that existed 150 years ago? Meat, milk, eggs. Fruits if you can tolerate. Grains optional.

you seem to be retarded. i am going to mute you.

Lol

The 150 year rule will definitely eliminate UPF & seed oils. The problem with this rule is that we know from the study of corpses from ancient Egypt that they followed this rule and also suffered from severe arterial disease and very poor dental health. We have to keep it simple and go back further than 150 years, more like 12,000 years.

The sugars found in fruits and honey are exactly the same as the sugars found in Coke, Pepsi and Pancake syrup.

I guess this is the slight point where we disagree. Processed sugar is different than natural sugar eating 20g carbs or syagr from a blueberry or honey much different than even cane sugar based coke which is refined sugar not the right balance of carbs for our liver or natural counterbalance. If you are otherwise healthy and especially if an athlete l, excercise a lot or live in a tropical climate with fresh fruits in season nothing wrong with that. But I do agree keto carnivore is the optimal way for humans to thrive especially in cooler climates with less sun and especially if you have some type of metabolic and/or inflammatory condition which most Americans do anyway. Your example of the Egyptians is noted but that’s more grains not the sugar from fruit. Grains are an anti nutrient which not only spikes blood sugar but depletes our micronutrient absorption hard to digest and our guts have not evolved to process them. We are not fermenters and have a small colon agreed there. I would say in my research tho to simplify it’s more about the fat you are eating. Solve that, remove processed seed oils and get some sun and excercise and nothing wrong with some fruit

Milk is for babies and the near-death infirm/victims of starvation who need to gain weight.

From first principles milk contains every single nutrient a mammals needs to survive and in bioavailable form. Yes humans are the only mammal which continues to drink milk past weaning but we are also the dominant species on the planet. What precisely is unhealthy about drinking raw milk? And don’t say allergic reactions or lactose intolerance with raw milk contains lactase and lactoferrin which is not heat inhibited by pasteurization and also allergies are not specific to milk people can develop them to any protein including meat
