You quoted a nutjob who denied the existence of HIV, I quoted Harvard.
Have a nice day.
Here is what your link from harvard actually said;
Foods high in carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet. Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose.
- The healthiest sources of carbohydrates—unprocessed or minimally processed whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans—promote good health by delivering vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of important phytonutrients.
As I've already posted the link, it has since been discovered that grass fed beef is one of the best sources of phytonutrients, beef also contains all of the essential vitamins and minerals, fiber is also not essential to the human diet (even the claim that eating it provides the gut with butyrate is spurious as ketones break down to butyrate and your gut doesn't care if it comes from the digestive side or the blood supply side). Nutrients from beef are far more bioavailable than from plants - plants actually contain antinutrients that prevent you absorbing any where near the amount of those vitamins and minerals the plant contains. Some plants will even prevent you absorbing the nutrients from meat entirely;

beans and corn when consumed with oysters led to zero increase in blood zinc levels when consumed together - despite beans themselves supposedly being a good source of zinc
Like, these are actual facts, carbs are not required in the human diet, your body will produce glucose whenever it needs it.
I'm looking at my blood tests and after 8 months on this diet I have zero deficiencies, in fact all of my vit/mineral levels tested are better than when I was doing Mediterranean (which looks closest to the pics you posted of what you currently eat).
Your not even following your own advice; Harvard say NOT to eat processed grains but you're eating bread and white rice lol.
You keep saying "balanced", but harvard say over 75% of your calories should be from grains, fruits and vegetables (carbs and 50% alone being just grains and fruit e.g. sugar/glucose/fructose). They don't give a percentage for fat and just seem to say to limit fats.
That's why I'm so confused about your position because you say one thing, post links to something completely different and then say "ah but harvard" without even understanding the info in the link you posted.
You say you spend £30 a week on food and then post a single mealtime which consists of about £15-20 worth of food. (whole fish, prawn and tofu would be at least £10 worth without even adding the chicken and ribs also shown)
