Consider going carnivore, keto, low carb, or Mediterranean. Just wondering what everyone here thinks is best. I'm pretty sure the gigs carb foods like breads, pasta, sweets, etc are what cause massive inflammation, health issues, and make us fatter and dumber. I can't say for sure though.
What do you guys think. Is it worth it to completely cut out carbs? Are vegetables okay? Is something like a sweet potato okay? I've been reading a lot about health issues that going keto or carnivore fixed health issues with people who have seizures or arthritis or depression. But also natural weight loss and improved health all around and better energy and alertness.
I was considering eating meals like this:
Eggs, turkey bacon, cheese, bell pepper, grass fed butter
Chicken meatballs, cheese, pasta sauce, green beans
Ground beef with broccoli & sugar free BBQ sauce
Chicken wings or thighs and carrots
I like a mixture of the all three which is high protein keto.
High protein is great because it keeps you from feeling hungry between meals.
Some of the keto breads are fantastic and make a nice lunch sandwich (ham and cheese, etc) and also a slice of keto bread (most are made from almond flour, flaxseeds and eggs) with cheese spread makes a nice high-protein, very low carb side for most meals. It makes high-protein keto very easy.
The keto wraps are nice and easy too, filled with meat and cheese with salad or chili con carne.
The frozen cauliflower rice is surprisingly nice in small servings if you want to make a thai coconut curry or chinese beef and broccoli stir-fry... however keto stir fry without any rice substitute is nice too. You won't miss the rice but I especially like it with chili con carne.
Also, I'd miss cucumber side salad with cubed feta cheese in summer too much to enjoy a pure carnivore diet.
Many great keto bread only have four or five natural non-GMO ingredients.
Don't fear whole linseeds or sunflowers because of seed oil because it's the process of processing seed oil that makes it unhealthy. Whole seeds and nuts and fine, especially if they're non-GMO.
