Do you eat potatoes regularly?
Tried 5 days of IF but no results. I didn't track my calories but maintain the time frame (6pm to 10am). This is my 2nd day not doing IF, will start from tomorrow. Should I need to follow healthy diet...
Recently moved into a place with a tiny (and messy kitchen). Not sure if regularly cooking meals will be an option. Besides fruit and raw veg and nuts, any suggestions for easy dry goods/packaged snacks for variety? ...
Is or pork or beef healthier as a protein overall
I find it so confusing. The more I learn, the more complex it gets. Also of course there are different options like Mediterranean, paleo, etc. For me trying to mix in vegetables is always important as well as avoiding...

Can oats have negative health effects for healthy individuals that consume oats everyday for a long time in a well balanced diet?
So I’ve seen a lot in the past about making sure you get a wide variety of colors in your diet, but I don’t see how doing this would have direct benefits to health other than just trying to get...
Not eating something because you are not familiar with it.

Hello! I know nothing about nutrition so I apologize if this question is incredibly stupid, but I'm curious. In ATLA, Aang is studying with a guru who feeds him only onions and bananas and says it's a balanced diet to...
I'm curious how necessary some nutrients are. To be more specific what nutrients will we see an immediate negative response if we don't get them? Also for simplicity's sake assume this is for the average healthy person.

So for example, could someone eat say 10% of their calories in just added sugar daily whilst on a cut, or do they risk adding on body fat again even in a calorie deficit? As a followup question, when on a...

It is easy to maintain a lean physique while eating low carb, high fat, and high protein diet or keto. What are the downside of getting most of you calories from fat and protein and essentially neglecting carbohydrates?
Keto is high fat, low carb, and a decent amount protein. Vegetables are optional. Most people only do keto for a few years and then revert back to their normal eating habits after they get the health results they wanted,...
What are the downsides (if any) to having a meal of just veggies for example? Can I think of macros in a broader scope (like day to day) or do I truly need to have balance for every single meal?
