According to this biologist diets are made usually by dumb people to get quick and easy money.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Vya...h_Savelyev
He said that when food travels through our digestive system, body absorbs only what it needs currently, the rest of the food is basically wasted.
Low fat diet-high carb diet is a really good way to get fatter.
So his advice was food menu of diverse types of food.
Brain to work properly needs healthy food.

I love Fluffy Gabe. Yeah, we all know how to be healthy. Eat a good variety of foods, don't eat in excess, exercise every day, drink lots of fluids, especially water. It's just hard to be consistent, and when you're not healthy, you likely just don't have the energy to do what needs to be done. One thing we all need the most is a support group. When you have a good support group, you can get through just about anything. That applies for all problems.

Sadly, my search for a support group for people who don't like exercise has yet to bear fruit.

*timidly raises hand* Can someone who hates exercise, but does physically strenuous things like load pickup trucks full of crap, join as an auxiliary member?
Diet-wise I prefer Michael Polan's approach: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

I've been stacking this afternoon on the roasted chicken skins off the thighs I cooked earlier to go in a curry. A healthy little snack

I made soup with a chicken base the other night. When I was getting ingredients ready, I removed a whole bunch of chicken skins from the pieces, cut them into 1" pieces, and stowed them in the freezer.
If you like things like roasted chicken skins, there's a chopped liver recipe in the book Smitten Kitchen Every Day by Deb Perelman that is awesome. You pan-fry the pieces of chicken skins to render the fat and make the skins super-crispy, then add both the fat and the crispy bits to the chicken livers along with a whole bunch of caramelized onions. (It's also supposed to have slivers of daikon in there, but we didn't have any in the house and had to do without. We plan to remedy this oversight next time we make the recipe, which I can now do because I have a secret stash of chicken skins.)
