And no, you don't _need_ fibre. I'm right in the middle of the Bristol stool scale with zero fibre. Another thing that scientists are uncovering right now but "you need fibre, fibre is good" keeps being parroted by everybody because someone said so 5 decades ago. Such is dogma.
Fat is healthy in a vacuum, fat with a carb heavy diet causes metabolic syndrome.
Fruit is healthy in a vacuum, but anything containing fructose, fibre or not, isn't great when you have metabolic syndrome, insulin issues or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Plenty of nutritional studies are completely worthless for this reason. There is no double-blind, randomised and controlled dietary studies.
Like you are preaching that meat gives too much iron and is bad, while in my experience decades of eating gluten have caused nutritional imbalances, one of which is called iron-deficiency anemia, and causes brain fog, tiredness, pallor and shortness of breathing. More meat and iron supplements (rarely) gives me an amount of energy I haven't felt in a decade. I've found this out for myself because even medical doctors keep repeating advice ("you should eat less red meat and more whole foods" is the MD's mantra) which doesn't respect one's own physiology and weren't able to track this down.
Yes, people can thrive on a diet of Mars bars, but it's not that simple and doesn't work for everybody. And I'd be more worried about heavy metals on a pescatarian diet than any other diet, vegan or otherwise.
I think you mean magnesium, whose deficiency is widespread and it is though to be caused by depletion of it in the soil due to intensive agricultural practices.
Most nutritional science is a whole load of crap. Which is why I invite anyone to learn and experiment with their body. The stakes are low, the benefits potentially great and it's easy to tell what feels good and what doesn't. It's not science, but again, most of nutrition isn't either.
It would be hard for me not to be in a caloric deficit. Meat and fat are incredibly filling, and once your body switches to ketone bodies and then fatty acid oxidation for fuel, it learns that, if you're overweight, you're carrying a ton of fuel ready for use. It's hard to explain if you haven't experienced it, but it actually feels _good_, as opposed to the regular carb and insulin dance.
But vegs works great as a treat. Today I had a simple salad with my steak and it was lovely, though I'm a little gassier now.
If you use Reddit, look into /r/carnivore or /r/zerocarb.
I do not think they are _unhealthy_, but there are some benefits in restricting them in some cases. In mine, cures _my_ digestive and mood issues. One is caused by whacked intestinal flora, and once your gut is completely destroyed, nutrient malabsorption caused by phytates and other phytochemicals worsen into systemic issues, including mood disturbances and inflammation. In my case, the experiment has been an absolute success, but I often succumb to the temptation of a pizza and I'm 5 steps back.
Long term, I will reintroduce some as they are benign, but grains are actually bad for me. Gluten is even worse, again, for me.
There is more, but this is good enough for an internet comment. The science is a google search away.
/r/ketoscience has plenty interesting studies about high fat low carb if you're interested in doing your own research. And I'm a big fan of the "Low Carb Down Under" Youtube Channel for latest research talks.
In my eyes and personal opinion, the diet we are most genetically optimal for is high fat, mostly carnivore, with seasonal fruits and berries, and remembering that modern fruits are nothing like what we have been eating for hundreds of thousands of years. And ideally insects, though they weren't a huge part of our diet. We after all are big herbivore hunters and scavengers.

It's not fantastic by any means, but it's a disservice to call it _horrible_.
It really isn't, it's just a matter of adapting your taste buds. If you're used to fries and muffins daily, yeah it can be hard, but as someone from Southern Europe used to snacking on salami and cheese and butter, reaching 80% calories from fat isn't hard at all, especially considering that fat is more than 2x more calorie dense per gram than protein and carbs, so you don't need that much of it. A steak with a little butter gets you there easily.
What a load of bollocks. What vitamins and minerals are lacking in meat? Only one, vitamin C, and there is evidence the RDA for it is much lower if you don't ingest many carbs. The Inuit didn't get scurvy. And in any case vit C heavy plants and fruit are definitely OK on a low carb diet.
And no fibre and phytochemicals (literally "plant chemicals")? It's by design. None of these things are essential, and some find improvement in their autoimmune diseases and digestion when these are reduced or removed altogether. My digestion gets better and better as I approach literally 0g of fibre, provided my carb consumption is low of course. High carb low fibre isn't fun.
The latter. The only insect protein I can find for human consumption is far more expensive than the pasture-raised organic meat I primarily eat. Sadly, I'm too used to modern Western cuisine to stomach eating an insect that hasn't been ground down to fine powder, but I will definitely buy some if/when prices are more reasonable.
Personally I hope insect protein becomes more widespread, makes more sense to me nutritionally than completely avoiding animal nutrients for chemical vegetable pastes people want to promote as meat substitute these days.
Citation needed. My sources mention the fact that we've evolved bigger brains when we've moved from low-density foods such as vegetables to high-density fatty foods, which is what distinguishes our diet from what primates eat. Meat is fatty, vegetables are not. In fact, vegetables are "fatty" for ruminants, as they have specialised bacteria that convert plant matter to fatty acids. We do not.

Just a couple articles from a 30 second Google search. The fat == bad, or worse, meat == bad is a modern argument that has nothing to do with our evolution or our physiology.
Here's the thing no one wants to admit: modern meat is bad for the planet, and we humans thrive on meat. We don't know how to reconcile the two, so we keep promoting and pushing towards worse and worse diets. Sorry, a vegan diet for everybody isn't the answer. There is no simple answer.
But yes, let's demonise the food we've evolved to thrive on. It's mental that this has become a controversial idea worth censoring.
One thing is adding a paid plan after you decide you want to monetise your software, it's unpopular but understandable, another is bundling malware or adding malicious logic to get some money or "protest" because companies aren't paying you. They knew this is how open source worked, and being a twat because they don't like those terms anymore just ruins their reputation and all the goodwill they've built.
I find this interesting and wonder whether many stoners are self-medicating. I know I've smoked so much I've come to hate it and it's caused what I thought were long term memory and executive issues, yet I've recently been diagnosed with ADHD, to my surprise. Were I self-medicating, or did weed made a part of my brain worse? Honestly, I have no idea. I don't think there's an easy answer yet.
