If you eat more plants and animals and less breads and sugars you do lose weight and feel better. I’m no science guy but that does work. People over complicate this shit.

I no longer trust anyone who talks about “plants” or “animals”. It turns out, every single plant or animal is doing something different!

If it copies like a pasta, it’s copypasta!

How is bread and sugar not plants?? Oversimplifying stuff doesn't make it better...

Say whatever you want but you can’t argue with results my man.

well, besides that other remark, sugars come from plants, though not all sugars are equal (ahem added sugar; fruit sugars are prolly fine)

fruit sugars are prolly fine

Fruits in general aren't as good for you as general thinking have them. The majority have been bred to be so exaggerated in their sugar content that, as an example, you can't feed pet primates fruit very often or they will get diabetes (without getting into the horrors that keeping primates as pets encompasses). You can quickly get an idea of this by searching for 'wild strawberries vs grocery strawberries.'

The fibrous parts of fruits is good, the 'nutritional' aspects of them are decent, but the absolute black-hole-mass of sugar on the one side of the teeter-totter is a pretty big negative for them.

The truth is, anything but saccharin.

Fucking what? Is he suggesting "protien" is a social construct?
