FitheachReally funny and informative.
Diet, Health and the Wisdom of Crowds

Skiring@fitheach Cool. Just my kind of diet. :-) Have you read the books he mentions?
@skiring
I'd not come across Tom Naughton before tonight. My other half was laughing out loud with her headphones on. I asked her what was so funny, she showed me the video.
I also liked that he didn't push a particular eating regime. Instead he focused on how elites try to control the message.
I've not read any of the books he mentioned. The Wisdom of Crowds & The Vision of the Anointed both sound interesting. I wasn't sure if the 2nd book was critical or supportive of the anointed.
@fitheach I've heard of the Fathead documentary before, but haven't seen it. My own diet is sort of traditional / paleo / keto, so he gets mentioned in some of the food & health blogs I read.
@skiring
Division of labour in our household. My other half is really into researching food & health, she tells me all about it, we debate. I then make the food. I don't follow any blogs, just pick up stuff from my OH.
I consider our diet to be LCHF. I can't say keto, as that requires measurement, which we don't do.
@fitheach
Ha! The same division of labour exists in our household; I am the researcher.
I dont count macronutrients anymore, so you might call my diet Lazy Keto. Or LCHF. There are a number of labels that fit.
@skiring
We work on rough rules of thumb. Green leafy veg in biggish quantities, small amounts of veg like onions and rice, pasta, bread, potatoes etc. are complete no-nos. Loads of fat, of course. I just consider it too time consuming to count everything. That's why I describe it as LCHF, too.
Neither of us have weight or health problems (that we know about).
