No wonder many of us struggle so. So many "experts" and so many conflicting opinions. Funny I see Naiman says diet sodas are perfectly fine though almost everyone else says they are the devil. He seems to be a fan of fiber but I just finished reading Maria Emmerich's Keto Success book last night and she says fiber is the devil and should be avoided as much as possible.
They both seem to agree that more protein and less fat is good - but Naiman's graphic of the four pounds of food equaling 1600 calories looks horrible to me as what's the point of eating 1600 calories when you hate your food? And while I am trying to increase protein and lower fat it's the fat that makes food palatable to me.
And he shows lots of veggies there whereas Emmerich says a couple veggies are okay to add a little color and texture to your meal, but they are basically all anti-nutrients and should be avoided as much as possible. Though she is more in favor of veggies that are actually technically fruits - avocado, tomato, cucumber, etc.
But if you listen to all the "experts" there is no way to know the best way to eat because there are so many disagreements!
Other than that fact that, per his graphic, we all know doughnuts and potato chips are bad - but still a huge confusion factor for me when it comes to the "good" foods.
