My sambo is eating a lot of nuts instead of snacking on candy and stuff like that. It seems really nice with literally no downsides. Healthy fats, good tasting… can even put them in a mixer and make a nice smoothie etc.
That’s awesome. For snack nuts, I mostly eat roasted almonds and walnuts. But I also mix the walnuts in with berries and some vanilla whey protein and make shakes, too.
It’s super healthy, and also doesn’t create a bad feeling in the body at all. Some of the foods people eat are obviously quite bad for them but they eat it anyway…
I would say “most” of the food Americans eat is bad for them. 42% of Americans are obese, 70% are overweight. This is a direct result of 1. Diet, and 2. Sedentary lifestyle where we don’t move enough.
Standard American Diet (SAD):
High consumption of processed foods: The SAD includes a significant amount of pre-packaged and highly processed foods that often contain artificial additives, preservatives, and unhealthy trans fats.
High sugar intake: Sugary beverages, snacks, and desserts are commonly consumed, contributing to unstable blood sugar levels and potential health issues.
Refined carbohydrates: Refined grains like white flour are prevalent in the SAD, lacking the fiber and nutrients found in whole grains.
Unhealthy fats: The diet often includes excessive amounts of saturated and trans fats from fried foods, fast food, and heavily processed snacks.
Low nutrient density: The SAD tends to lack essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants due to its reliance on highly processed foods.
Limited fruits and vegetables: Despite the importance of these foods for health, the SAD often falls short in providing an adequate amount of fruits and vegetables.
