What do you think you know about nutrition and what is "healthy"? (self.asklemmy)

natural fats are generally healthy and keeps you satisfied for longer and in a less crashy way as opposed to sugars/carbohydrates in general

I feel like I experience a reduced need to eat and snack when my food includes natural fats, especially when in combination with protein. To put it very simply, I'm persuaded the more healthy fats, the better, they should not be limited or demonized in the way that they have been maligned when sugar was the greater evil all along

It's more complex than most people think. Higher protein tends to be good. Animal foods tend to be better than plants. Fruits tend to be better than vegetables. Fiber makes gut issues but also protects against excess sugar. Natural foods and processes tend to be better than artificial and highly processed. You can find success on a low carb or low fat diet but not a low protein diet.

The three best things for you are water (drinking/hygiene), walks, and sleep. Ironically all things you get less of in a city.
