Is it? Lots of fruits and vegetables every day. Some nuts a few days a week. Red meat once or twice a week, poultry meat and eggs for the rest of the week. Add in things like olive/avocado oil, spices, vinegar, yogurt. Drink water, tea/coffee, milk. Rarely rice, pasta, potatoes.

How could you go wrong with that ? That's basically my diet.



"lots of fruits" after selectively breeding and engineering them into sugar bombs is one of the most unpersuading leads possible to me for a balanced diet.


Disclaimer: not a nutritional scientist, just passing interest.

I don't see fish, which is, from what I've heard, important for nutritional diversity.

Also, fruit has lots of sugars so it might not be the best for "lots of".


> That's basically my diet.

How many people agree with you that it's a good diet? I'm especially surprised by "rarely rice", which is a staple in many Asian countries.


This is often false. Many people following this way of eating are still sick, weak, and often skinny fat. I was one of them. Of course this is going to be better than a McDonald diet, but it does a terrible job at fixing problems for people with any kind of metabolic problems.
