There are other videos that provide that information but if you want a summary I can give you one.
Avoid UPF. UPF stands for ultra processed food. If it comes in a plastic wrapper and has a paragraph of ingredients, if it's in the center aisles in the supermarket it is probably not food. Ultra processed food is not food.
Eat real food. Grass-fed meat, eggs from pasture raised chickens. Wild caught fish. Organic fruits and vegetables. You don't need a lot of fruit in your diet. A little bit is fine.
Dairy if you are not intolerant to it but always from grass-fed cows if possible. The reason we want grass-fed dairy and grass-fed meat is because they have omega-3 whereas meat raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) where they are fed grain and not able to graze is pro-inflammatory.
A couple of eggs in the morning with butter made into an omelette with some vegetables or cheese. Half an avocado with lemon juice squeezed on it and salt is delicious. That's a good sustaining meal. For dinner 4 to 6 oz of grass-fed beef, pasture raised chicken, fish, any meat that is raised healthily. Some vegetables, a little bit of carbohydrate if and only if you are metabolically healthy. If you've been eating processed food, fast food prepackaged food stay away from grains for a while.
Intermittent fasting is good for most of us. A pregnant woman or nursing mother or a younger person still growing do not have to do intermittent fasting but the rest of us benefit from it. Letting our insulin levels drop is healthy because it allows our body to burn stored body fat. There's so much more information but I'm trying to offer you a summary so you can decide what you need to learn more about.
The most important thing is to eat real food and avoid packaged foods, processed foods, fast food and foods with pro-inflammatory oils in them.
Eat healthy fats. Healthy fats are animal fats that come from grass fed animals, olive oil, butter from grass-fed cows. Do not eat canola oil, or any of the other ultra processed oils. They are not stable and they are pro-inflammatory.
Some good resources are Dr Jason Fung, Dr Robert Lustig and Sten Ekberg is also useful. They are all here on YouTube. The first two are medical doctors and Sten Ekberg is a chiropractor. Dr Fung and Dr Lustig both have written books.
I would start with Dr Robert Lustig's video on sugar, if you look for it here on YouTube search for Sugar the Bitter Truth. It's a good introduction to why sugar is so dangerous and inflammatory. It's an older video but the best possible introduction.
Read labels. Read labels. Read labels. If you see items in the list of ingredients of any food that you don't recognize as food, don't eat it. Familiarize yourself with the over many different names for added sugar. If a food has added sugar in it, generally avoid it. There are some exceptions but it's a good general rule.
The reason they don't just list foods to avoid eating is because people learn better when they understand the reason for something. If you genuinely understand why something is damaging or dangerous you are much more likely to avoid it. You don't get that by just being told don't eat this, do eat that. It's worth putting the time in to learn and understand. This is the most important thing you can do for your health.
Take the time to read and research and learn. If you have any specific questions I would be happy to answer them.
