I'm not down.
That person was advocating vegetarianism, although the word wasn't mentioned once in the article. In fact, they even addressed the nutritional and social challenges of vegetarianism, while avoiding the word entirely. Written as such, the article is less than honest. It's a clickbait tactic.

Here's the rules. (Edit - This is baisc nutrition, not a summary of the article. I differ from the author in that I would never advocate vegetarianism.)

  • Eat food. - Not supplements. Not processed crap. Eat things that can be clearly identified as food.
  • Mostly plants. - Ya, your diet is probably upside down. Have one slice of the roast. Eat a heap of veggies. Start eating beans regularly.
  • Not too much. - This issue goes away when you start eating a lot of natural fiber. You're less hungry. People start asking 'what's your secret'.

(Ya. I wasn't clear. Fixed.)
I didn't get the rules from this dumb article. I don't quibble with anything the author wrote, but I sure don't like their writing style. If you read the article, you'd know that, but don't bother.

Those are the rules your guts want you to follow. That's what belongs in your diet.

I've largely recovered from the american diet after colon probs, overweight, high bp, chloesterol, hypoglyicimic. I lost 50lbs under medical supervision, kept it off couple yrs now w good food. It can be done.

Hell yeah good for you!

I mean, I can't eat gluten and I am very on top of that, but remembering to even eat in the first place is often a problem for me, even before I started adderall.

I am healthy more or less but I rarely have the energy / dopamine to cook real food so, were it not for frozen meals and snacks I'd likely just wither away haha
