Dark Calories sounds like a great companion to Good Energy by Dr Casey Means. Dr Means' Simple rules start with the three things to remove from the diet, and many low carbers with paleo leanings do well at already reducing all three.

But then she writes about the five things to ADD to your diet to have Good Energy …this part is what took me and many others ten years to figure out!

“There's no keto or vegan or paleo. It's about what molecules do your cells need to function properly and how do you get those to them? And so we just have eight simple strategies, essentially. It's five things to put into your meals and three things to take out of your meals to essentially give your cells what they need.

And those five things are healthy protein, omega-3 fats, antioxidants, a probiotic source and fiber. And that's not exhaustive, but if you focus on getting those five things in every single meal, you are going to be giving your body so much of what it needs.

And the three things that we recommend taking out are the ultra-processed grains, ultra-processed sugars and ultra-processed industrial seed oils, which do nothing to meet the needs of your cells and essentially are empty calories that prevent you from actually getting your body what they need.
