Sounds like it has a “low carb” bent.
“Okinawan” ping to you.
Folks, this diet requires that more than 35% of your food intake is “resistant carbs” (AKA “fiber” and other non-caloric substances).

This was the “Eat to Win” diet of the 1980s, and athletes such as Martina Navratilova followed it.

“carb type”
LOL, fiber is a carbohydrate you can’t digest.
When are researchers going to realize that lab mice are the cause of every health issue and disease?
Swinging to the other extreme is probably not good either. However, after a life of a very high carb diet, the damage may have done and we need a high protein diet to moderate our weight.
In a nutshell:
“The results of this study help explain why it is best to stay away from foods such as cakes, pizzas and confectionary and supports filling your plate with wholegrains such as brown rice, oats and quinoa, legumes such as lentils, beans and chickpeas, and opt for plenty of vegetables including sweet potato, pumpkin, and beets,” said Dr. Rosilene Ribeiro, a dietitian and a researcher in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences and a co-author on this study.
The diet requires a “majority” of your diet’s 70% “carbs” be carbs you can’t pull calories from.
Of course you lose weight on that, because you just lost more than 35% of your total carbs (a digestible carb has 4.5 calories/gram).
Protein was 10% and all 30+ diets tested had a fixed 20% fat (fat is 9 calories per gram).
Do note that bread breaks down to simple sugars within five minutes of putting into your mouth, so all normal breads are effectively sugars, due to surface area contact with saliva.
How about . . .
Eat a variety of fresh seasonal foods, never too much at once
Not too much white sugar, white flour
Lots of fresh clean water
Good quality, natural fiber
Plenty of exercise, fresh air, sunshine, wash your hands, don’t pick your nose.
Don’t dally with those you wouldn’t introduce to your Mother.
Work hard - invest in yourself, your family, your property
That song: Give Faith a fighting chance and don’t forget to dance.
Yeah, what Grandma & Grandpa told you.
“Hello health champions”
Exactly
What? A small, lean piece of meat or fish allowed daily?
Time to get with the program! That should be worms or crickets!
Long ago, Overeaters Anonymous came up with the rule of thumb: don’t eat white foods. That cuts out sugar, white rice, potatoes, white bread and anything else made from refined flour. Eat lots of fish. Pretty simple, pretty useful. Healthy diets aren’t difficult.
That's how I would train to become a Macy's Thanksgiving parade balloon.
It might work, but it may cause another toilet paper shortage. My step DIL is a strict vegan and she lives in the bathroom.
Lol.. eggs are bad for ypu. Eggs are good for you, climate change, covid.. who is listening to these guys anyway.
Every article i read is no sugar, no meat, esp red. Its like someone is censoring real science, or it just doesnt pay.
LOL. Thanks.
Ironically, I’m on the ‘french fry’ & ice cream ‘diet’ this month (if you’ve read my priors, you know there’s both some tongue in cheek there, plus a lot of fact).
Lost almost another 20lbs this round, since I started giving a damn. On my way to target, now that I got my gut health back in balance since my arm got infected. That would bring the total since I started all this to over 70lbs spanning almost 10 years since I ‘woke up’, realized my problems and set about healing.
Incidentally, for those of you who are on a computer a lot, be sure to use a pad/pillow under your elbows if that’s how you support your arms. Apparently inflammation of the bursa sac surrounding the elbow joint (elbow bursitis) is quite common among us geeks and a stupid ingrown hair can cause a severe infection of the elbow & forearm. Whooda thunk. That makes 3 times in my life I’ve needed antibiotics; at least now I’m smart enough to know what to do as follow-up.
