faterikcartman, i’m with you that fad diets don’t work, they tend to be unbalanced, unsustainable, etc. people just don’t stick with it or they become obsessed and consumed by it. i think however its about listening to your body. whatever you feel great eating, versus what makes you feel ill. and everything in moderation and a large variety of foods. i personally stopped eating packaged/processed foods, even though i LOVED a lot of them, because i had severe acid reflux eating certain foods and packaged/processed crap contains way too many ingredients and preservatives. i don’t think popping a pill is the solution, eventually you will develop a disease or cancer with long term chronic inflammation in your GI track. so i simply stopped eating certain foods, stopped taking pills, and my acid reflux went away completely. i also don’t think carbs are bad, i happen to love them, but simply figured out which ones my body digest versus ones i don’t, and stick to those carbs.
other people i know have a gut of steel and can eat anything, and are very healthy. i have older friends who eat whatever they want and they have had 0 health problems. a lot of its genetics and your body type.
