    I’m fat by nature (and environment) so I have examined and tried many diets, and I think I can only say for sure a few thing about healthiness of diets:

    • if you eat carbs, fats beyond what is necessary to eat, are unhealthy
    • If you don’t eat carbs you need to eat fats, some fats are better than others
    • If you don’t eat carbs and you don’t eat fats you starve - to thin then to death
    • Sugar is unhealthy and wrecks your teeth
    • Highly processed foods are not healthy

      What about protein? There’s a whole other macro you can use to make up for calories with if you cut out carbs. Eating near exclusively protein probably isn’t good for you, but you won’t starve. From what I’ve seen there can even be a lot of advantages to eating a little more protein, especially if you’re doing some strength training.
