Eat a bunch of that, even if you don’t want to. And then you can literally eat all you want of anything else. You just won’t want to eat much of anything else, because it takes forever to digest legumes and leafy greens.
The “problem” is that stuff is cheap as fuck and there’s no way for anyone to make any money off telling people to do that
I really, really struggle to decide what to eat. I think it’s a neurodivergence thing. I’ve often wished there was some bullshit soylent kind of thing I could consume instead of food.
Aren’t oats supposed to be pretty good too? Although they are fairly high in carbs. Far cheaper than legumes, can get a kg of dry oats for about £0.50 while a similar amount of chickpeas is around 4 times that price.
Problem is if I simmer some oats in water and a pinch of salt then add some fruit my partner says it isn’t a proper dinner.
Yeah, leafy greens and legumes are good because there’s a bunch of extra vitamins.
Oatmeal (especially fortified) has a bunch of other stuff tho.
Like, don’t literally only eat a few things. Anything high in fiber keeps you full for a long time.
Especially for the dudes, eating fiber is a very easy preventative measure for colo-rectal cancer. And it’s hard to look at the correlation between modern low fiber high processed food diets and the skyrocketing rates of colo-rectal cancer and say there’s zero correlation.
But convincing people to eat fiber gets a weird amount of opposition
Oats are very much a thing in the US. Quite common. Stores sell rolled oats, steel cut oats and sugary packaged oats. The trick is buying the rolled/steel cut and not the packaged sugar garbage.
i should have said “for me,” edited. i’m not deathly allergic, but enough to get a reaction in my mouth and wreck my gut. wish i wasn’t, because i love them
Talk about word salad. Pun intended. A better title might have been something like “Low-carb and low-fat diets associated with lower heart disease risk in certain cases” and let the reader figure it out.
The tuna in EVOO you buy at the supermarket here is lame. If you look at the ingredients it’s just cheap vegetable oil with a dash of EVOO, and you can bet it’s not the good EVOO.
What a title…… what do I eat now?!
Fiber.
Specifically leafy greens and legumes.
Same answer it’s always been.

Legumes aren’t low carb no one can afford to eat enough leafy greens to meet their caloric intake for the day
I have a cup of green lentils for breakfast and another one for lunch. Huge fan.
How long does your 1 lentil for lunch keep you full for?
Are you joking?
How do you prep this?

Oats are almost pure carbs.
greek yogurt mixed with uncooked oats is good. it’s chewy. and the carbs in the oats helps to feed the probiotics in the yogurt–good for gut health

I usually get rolled oats. Not sure if oatmeal is an American thing, I don’t think it’s common here? I have never heard of it anyway.
Here you usually get plain rolled oats or ultra processed instant porridge in various forms of packaging.

My eyes are bad and I read that cats are pretty good. And I surmised that they are high in carbs. because of what the mice they caught had eaten.
Turn your eyes off and back on again to perform a factory reset
nuts are good too (not peanuts, for me), but expensive AF
What is wrong with peanuts? And yeah so expensive. Also high energy density means I find it easy to eat far too many kcal when snacking on cashews.

Ahh, that makes more sense

vegetables
All meat or all vegetables, nothing in between
Plain canned tuna

Delicious mercury
solid yellowfin packed in EVOO topped with tony chachere’s creole seasoning = better than anything you’ll get for $15 at a burger joint

i mean i wouldn’t debate about “not the good EVOO,” but…
edit: looking at your instance now, i guess you’re in aus? that sucks they’re mixing yours will bullshit oil
