Scientific Diet Quiz

Extensive scientific research has confirmed that human beings who live to be 100 years or older typically eat a vegetarian/vegan-heavy omnivore diet rich in clean, whole foods. Getting the proper daily amount of high-quality macronutrients — protein, fat, water, and carbohydrates (especially fiber) — as well as micronutrients including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, is key. Diet, exercise, and lifestyle are vital components. Although the importance of genetics cannot be understated.

The science is clear, a calorie is NOT a calorie. Food type, quality, and quantity matter. And, for people experiencing skinny fat (lack of genetic muscle, especially the more severe), insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, being overweight, or obesity, at least, eating a low-carb, clean, whole-food diet rich in high-quality calories including high-quality proteins, fats, and fiber carbs  – like a low-carb version of the scientifically healthiest Mediterranean Diet  – is the key to wrangling insulin (glucose regulatory hormone) and insulin resistance to safely, sustainably, and successfully lose regular fat weight while keeping it off. A safe low-carb diet typically ranges between 37 and 150 grams or so of carbs per day. What is best for you depends on your goals, unique genetics, and body composition (including any skinny fat), no less.

The type of carb matters. Avoid refined carbs (sugar, flour, starch, etc.) from empty-calorie and low-quality calorie fast, junk, and processed foods. High Glycemic Index (GI) carbs — GI rates how carbohydrates/glucose affects the body — should be avoided by people who are experiencing skinny fat (lack of genetic muscle), particularly the more severe their skinny fat, as they are more genetically prone to insulin resistance, diabetes, being overweight, and obesity.

Low-GI foods and fiber carbs are typically best (but even low-GI fast, junk, and processed foods should be avoided) to help with weight management and health, including safe and successful regular fat weight loss and weight gain. The body can break down protein and fats into glucose through gluconeogenesis.

Scientific Weight Loss

For most people, to achieve acute safe, sustainable, successful regular fat (white fat/yellow fat/excess fat) weight loss (while maintaining muscle/mass), focus on a bullseye of 37 grams of carbs, mostly fiber carbs. As well, for most people, without the requirement of a calorie deficit, religiously counting calories, or even exercising (although exercise is very important for overall health, not just weight loss, and it can help speed up regular fat weight loss). Here is the latest science:

A safe short-term calorie deficit done right along with proper exercise (burn more calories) can help safely speed up scientific weight loss. While avoiding muscle tissue loss (and making any existing skinny fat worse).

Other Diet Options

Moreover, there are other science-based diet options that can be done low-carb. While avoiding fast, junk, and processed foods — IE empty calories and low-quality calories that negatively affect insulin and eventually lead to insulin resistance if consumed too much. Most Americans consume way too many fast, junk, and processed foods every day.

As well, when you eat and drink matters, as it affects metabolism, digestion, and hormones like insulin, at least. Like eating and drinking within certain consistent windows each day (water is the exception), such as 10-12 hours consume, 12-14 do not consume; AKA intermittent fasting.

Finally, nappropriate, unsafe calorie deficits (starving your body like eating disorders/anorexia) lead to a slowed metabolism, lost priceless genetic default muscle/mass (which can make any existing skinny fat worse), damaged health, and once you start eating normally again, you will gain back all the regular white/yellow fat weight you lost and likely more. Do not starve your body.
