“Keto, plant-based, low carb, include grains...“

NOPE! Keto, paleo, Atkins…do NOT include grains…nor beer for that matter.

“Keto, plant-based, low carb, include grains...“

I think the poster was listing different diets and advice, and not implying the first 3 include grains.

The point seemed to be that’s it’s confusing to identify an optimal or health- oriented diet. It’s interesting reading the different approaches on this thread. Some things not mentioned:

Too much linoleic acid, an omega-6 in plant-based seed oils is VERY unhealthy.

Sunshine is good. If you’ve gotten seed oils out of your standard diet sun burns are rare.

My nutritionalist advised 120g of protein a day, saying protein digestion is less efficient for people over 60-70. I require 2400+ calories per day, so that’s 20% of calories.

Occasional fasting or at least the Fasting Mimicking Diet is healthy, giving the body an opportunity to cleanse itself through apoptosis and autophagy.

All the different diets have all sorts of different criteria, which really confuses me. I don’t know what to do!
