Most of what you believe about a healthy diet is probably not true.

Some things I learned recently due to new and updated research;
Salt intake has almost no effect on heart disease (low salt intake can actually increase your risk).
Dietary Cholesterol has no effect on risk of heart disease - vegetable oils actually increases risk of heart disease, saturated fats are more healthy (virgin olive oil and coconut oil are the best non-animal oils).
High sugar/carbohydrate intake also factor quite highly in heart disease risk.

I've also discovered that fasting (even just skipping breakfast) can have big health benefits.

Any other interesting titbits people want to share?

I've always skipped breakfast and have a 17 hour gap between evening meal and 11am snack ,most of my meals are fresh and now done in the ninja last nights curry (and probably next 2 nights) was onions, tomatoes ginger ,mixed veg ,soya protein (but i often use lentils) then fresh kale added near the end. also use a premium oil to sauté with .

This isn't new right?

Eat vegies and meat. Don't eat sugar. Fast as much as possible. Lift heavy ****.
 
Fast as much as possible...
This is new on any fads or "proper" diets that I've noticed in the past.

Who's agenda is pushing that one?? People that can't afford to eat? The poor? Is it a drive to make the population skinnier? Probably worth it lol.

Or is fasting the time between my breakfast and lunch, if I have it, dinner..?
I'm not eating, therefore I'm fasting.

Last time I spoke to a dietary professional at work, ( i seriously can't remember the English words for it, help)
They say people should eat little but often.....

Oh well.

I'm not convinced skipping a meal entirely is what is intended behind "fasting" but it is pretty much researched that you shouldn't eat past a certain point at night. Calories took in too close to bedtime literally go straight to your ass. A ex-Royal Marine I used to work with would rather miss dinner than eat past 7pm for example.
 
It makes sense your metabolism is governed by daily cycles i guess...

I know nothing about it.
