For what you need a DIET?

Diet is a kind of restriction.

To eat "healthy" doesn't mean to follow a plan but just use your common sense. To avoid processed food doesn't mean "I am on diet".

May be English isnt your first language, the term "Diet" does not mean restriction, it simply referes to what and how a person eats.

 

"Diet" refers to the food and drinks a person or group regularly consumes. It can have different meanings depending on the context:

1. General Meaning – A diet is simply the habitual eating pattern of an individual or culture. For example, a Mediterranean diet includes olive oil, fish, and vegetables, while a typical Western diet may be high in processed foods and sugars.

2. Nutrition & Health – In a health and fitness context, a diet refers to a specific eating plan aimed at achieving a goal, such as weight loss, muscle gain, or better overall health. Examples include:

   • Balanced Diet – Includes a variety of nutrients from protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
   • Weight Loss Diets – Such as keto (low-carb, high-fat), intermittent fasting, and calorie deficit plans.
   • Muscle-Building Diets – High in protein to support muscle growth.
   • Special Diets – Designed for medical or ethical reasons, like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or diabetic diets.

3. Temporary vs. Lifestyle – Some people follow diets temporarily (e.g., a crash diet before an event), while others make long-term dietary changes for health or personal preferences.

A good diet should be sustainable, nutritionally complete, and fit the individual's goals and lifestyle.

Don't stress on trying to eat healthy.  What ever works for you.  Most of us know what is bad for you.  Eat what 'current' studies suggest.  

 

Myself, if haven't noticed, a Keto-ish dining lifestyle.  Like my eggs, cook with mostly Canola oil, avoid starchy carbs & sugar.  No junk, plenty of whole food home cooking.   Plenty of variety and easy to stick to.   Throw in intermittent fasting, 15+ hrs, mostly overnight (2000 - 1100 hrs) and weight control is on auto pilot.

or,,,,,,,,,  you could go straight Carnivore ..   avoid toxic plants that are also far from optimun nutrient delivery.                                                                                    ( that's why vegan's have too suppliment their diet)

 human bodies need saturated fats to thrive we do not need fibre and carbs in our diet !   This has been proven by modern science.

if you only ate beef and drank water ...   your body gets  100% of everything you need

I suggest everyone read up on articles on how a carnivore diet can assist children with autism as well

Agricultural farming relies on vast amounts of farmland that have depleted the top soil and are destroyed by chemical pesticides that not only leach into the food being grown but also wash away into the water supplies.

This is wrong and many actually believe it. We're not carnivores and need fiber to have a healthy GI system. Look at the stats on colon cancer and see what the people who have it eat. The oldest living people on earth come from the Blue Zones, and they eat carbs, root vegetables, seeds, nuts, beans, whole grains, fruits, along with moderate proteins. can't argue with success. You eat a varied diet and you don't need supplements, unless you have a deficiency like Vitamin D. Modern science hasn't proven anything as most of the people eating carnivore haven't been  doing it for many years. Nutritional deficiencies come from just eating meat. It's okay short term but shouldn't be followed forever, unless you are adding carbs daily in some form. It can also lead to cardiovascular disease.

Questionable I think.

It would be depending on Where one Lives .

I can't see an Eskimo Surviving on Diet rich  plant base food .

Up there and in colder countries they need The Animal fat ,Lots of it to get their nutritions. 

Eskimos or Inuit communities are known to have super healthy hearts, steering clear of heart diseases and being considered some of the healthiest individuals

 

Guessing they are eating nearly 100% fish as their meat which is low in unhealthy saturated fats.

You can post all the opinions you want but reality is the the body needs roughage, fiber, to have the GI system work properly. I didn't start reading up on, and to this day, nutrition, in the 50's. I started in the mid 70's, reading everything I could on the subject of a healthy diet and exercise with weights. To this day, it still rings true. Humans are omnivores, and need a variety of foods to work properly, and again, facts overrule opinions, seeing the longest living humans are from the blue zone areas, who eat carbs daily. Not a good idea to promote something which is only meant, healthily, as a short term diet to lose weight, which it does. Eventually you will be deficient in something. Vitamins C and E, along with some minerals, aren't found in meat. If you incorporate carbs daily, with some form of Vitamin C, you'll have little trouble, but taking away fiber will lead to problems eventually. Following other's opinions because something works temporarily is never a good idea................https://www.health.com/weight-loss/keto-long-term................https://www.bluezones.com/2020/07/blue-zones-diet-food-secrets-of-the-worlds-longest-lived-people/
