Scientific Diet Quiz Health Score

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.

Which Diet is Best for You and Your Unique Genetic Body Composition? – Scientific Diet Quiz (Scientific Health Quizzes App)

History of Low Carb – dieteticallyspeaking.com

The science is clear, a calorie is NOT a calorie. Food type, quality, and quantity matter. And, for most people, 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 science-based 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 low-carb diet typically ranges between 37 and 150 grams of carbs per day. Although some are less, and what is best for you depends on your unique genetics and body composition.

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 genetically prone to insulin resistance and diabetes and being overweight or obese (like people experiencing skinny fat tissue).

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, focus on a bullseye of 37 grams of carbs, mostly fiber carbs. As well, for most people, without the requirement of a safe calorie deficit, religiously counting calories, or even exercising (although exercise is very important for overall health, not just weight loss).

A safe short-term calorie deficit done right along with proper exercise (burn more calories) can help safely speed up scientific weight loss.

Other Diet Options

For some people, the Keto Diet (low-carb, 20-50 grams/day, high-fat) is a better choice. Yet, for others, the Atkins Diet (low-carb, 20-40 grams/day, high-protein) or Glycemic Index/GI Diet (low-carb, chart) is best. But, scientifically, low carb is overall the best scientific diet in general and best for scientific weight loss for most people. While avoiding fast, junk, and processed foods — empty calories and low-quality calories that negatively affect insulin and eventually lead to insulin resistance if consumed too much, which most Americans consume way too much of every day — to control insulin/resistance to safely lose regular fat weight, maintain weight, and be healthy in the short and long term.

You can even safely incorporate intermittent fasting or regular fasting.

Inappropriate, unsafe calorie deficits (starving your body) lead to a slowed metabolism, lost priceless genetic default muscle/mass, damaged health, and once you start eating normally again, you will gain back all the white/yellow/regular fat weight you lost and likely more. Do not starve your body.
