I have been eating mostly grass-fed beef along with a low to moderate carbs from sweet potatoes, some rice, and some broccoli occasionally for well over a decade. I also fast for about 18 or more hours on days I am not going to be physically active. In my early 50's I have the muscle mass and body fat of a man in his 20s and I'm still very physically active. Several months ago I read a Mercola article about the bioenergetic diet being promoted by Jay Feldman based upon work by Ray Peatt. Mercola says he went to this diet and it was amazing. The diet is based upon the philosophy that our bodies and brains run best on glucose, not fat and ketones, which are reserved for times of famine. I am always willing to try new things, so I listened to all of Jay Feldman's podcasts, started eating apples, grapes, oranges, orange juice, potatoes, maple syrup, rice, etc. along with my meat, as recommended by Jay Feldman (in moderation at first). I put on about 10 pounds of fat, started having brain fog, indigestion and joint pain again, regained the short fuse I had when I was younger, and generally felt like shit. I'm back to an almost carnivore diet and I feel great again.

I just read a substack column by Brian Cates, the political writer, about the food crisis in America. He focused on the food industry's processed fake food, and GMO grains, versus what our ancestors actually ate.

He shows how we have people who are overweight and well-fed, and at the same time malnourished and hungry! They have been poisoning us for decades. GMO seed oils, GMO grains, sugar from GMO sugar beets, highly addictive snack foods, sodas and fast foods.

They want us dead. Do not comply.
