If you want to learn how to figure out your diet, this book covers everything you need to know. It’s not that complicated and with so much disinformation out there it’s easy to get misguided.
Most people that give diet advice operate from the wrong first principles, when you understand that movement is more fundamental than diet and you start to address it, diet becomes that much easier to figure out.

“People don't believe in free will. I mean literally no one believes in it. If people do believe in anything, it's attaining rewards in life.
If your neurochemical associations favor hierarchical pursuits, then your behavior orients around doing what you can to attain clout. Doesn't matter what symbols you attach to that pursuit. So long as you get that clout bump, nothing else matters. The same goes with any other neurochemical association.
Biology has existed for billions of years not ever considering free will. We don't transcend that evolutionary momentum. You can tell yourself you do, but we both know you're just playing pretend.
I could go on and explain in greater detail, but it doesn't matter. There are some things that are just a matter of fact. And the fact of the matter is that right now free will concepts rule, so if I go against free will and your neurocircuits aren't stimulated how you like, the explanation I give won't matter. You just want that reward.
I can give a man a million reasons to behave intelligently, and most of the time he'll find one bad reason to misbehave. It is what it is.
The reward I seek is regeneration. Free will isn't going to give me that. If I play it right with free will, I can attain high levels of clout, which is what most foolishly pursue. Clout gives people the opposite of regeneration, so I’m not interested in that. If it did give me regeneration, sign me up. It doesn’t though so I’m good staying deterministic. Not like I have a choice anyway...”
