  It’s mostly the plants tbh, dietary fiber is frequently ignored in macro discussions but absolutely critical

    fiber is so strange because it’s function is basically just to pass through you, and yet it’s so vital for the digestive system to function properly

    everyone keeps saying “oh dietary supplements are just pissing away money” but fibre supplements are the one supplement most people would benefit hugely from taking, just get some psyllium husk or whatever and enter toilet nirvana

      Just for context, it’s a uniquely American problem. The rest of the developed world on average eats more balanced diet and don’t need to supplement fiber.

        The uniquely US problem is poor people having terrible diets, but lack of fibre for non-poor people is a thing all over the world aside from maybe like, japan…

        i’ve personally benefitted greatly from just opting for whole-grain versions of things like pasta, much better poops now.

  I no longer trust anyone who talks about “plants” or “animals”. It turns out, every single plant or animal is doing something different!

  If it copies like a pasta, it’s copypasta!

  well, sugars come from plants, though not all sugars are equal (ahem added sugar; fruit sugars are prolly sugar)

    fruit sugars are prolly fine

    Fruits in general aren’t as good for you as general thinking have them. The majority have been bred to be so exaggerated in their sugar content that, as an example, you can’t feed pet primates fruit very often or they will get diabetes (without getting into the horrors that keeping primates as pets encompasses). You can quickly get an idea of this by searching for ‘wild strawberries vs grocery strawberries.’

    The fibrous parts of fruits is good, the ‘nutritional’ aspects of them are decent, but the absolute black-hole-mass of sugar on the one side of the teeter-totter is a pretty big negative for them.

  You’re over complicating this shit.

  Weight loss is just calories eaten minus calories burned.

    Yeah that’s a good rule too. Calories in vs calories out.

  How is bread and sugar not plants?? Oversimplifying stuff doesn’t make it better…

  • Cruxifux@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Say whatever you want but you can’t argue with results my man.

      Well, if it works for you, great. But that doesn’t mean that it will work for anyone else.

  This has been my experience. I find nutritional science incredibly boring, I’ve tried many times to get excited about it, but I just can’t seem to find an ‘in’ with it to make it my 2-week.special interest and learn the basics properly.

  I just eat bacon, sausages, eggs, and throw in some kale, spinach & watercress. I’ve cut out all bread, sweets, snacks and alcohol.

  For dinner I have some frozen pizza or something like that that I can make without any effort or time, but lately it’s way way way too much effort to cook/eat.

    I mean, there are these “complete meal” drinks, specifically for people like you who don’t really want to think about their next meal

    • LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah but they seem lame and they give people the shits

      I struggle finding ones that aren’t fucked with empty carbs and processed sugar personally.

    You calling it elvanse makes me suspect you have access to maultaschen. Bürger vegan maultaschen (Typ 1) have macronutrients in the proportion suggested by nutritionists; taste good raw, sautéed, or in soup; cost <€2,50; and keep very well. Other varieties are possibly similar, but I don’t know if they can be eaten raw or how they keep.

    Plus, they’re a good base for taking elvanse.
