A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
You're wrong but it's OK. Eat vegetables. " Things that are green " if it helps you. Not too much meat, not too much bread and pasta. That's it, it's easy. 2 or 3 times a day, not more. Stop eating sugar.
Not too much sugar. Bread and pasta are fine as long as they're not just cake disguised as bread (looking at you, America).
Even without sugar, bread and pasta are usually from white flour, that is quite processed and should not be eaten too often. You can replace by rice and other cereals or whole grain, they are all better options
Everything in moderation
The average person wants to be eating around 2,000-2,500 calories in a day unless you're trying to put weight on or cut weight
Carbs shouldn't make up more than about 50-60% of that
If you're eating half a loaf of bread a day, you're gonna have a bad time even if it's good quality bread
Wdym the average person wants to eats around 2000-2500kcal? The requirement is like 1600-2200 or something like this depending on sex and activity.
Not just green, eat the whole rainbow of vegetables! Different colors are frequently associated with different nutrients so a mix is good.
do remember proteins, it's not just a fad
0.8 g / body kg / day
It is a little bit of a fad because you're probably getting enough protein. People should be treating fiber the way protein is treated. 90% of western diets do not have enough fiber.
idk when i started going vegan i didn't know how much you need so i had the daily amount maybe in a week, i just want people to avoid that
The real reason people complain about stomach issues after taco bell. So much fiber that most people aren't used to.
