So remove sugar, oil and salt from the diet? That sounds to easy.
Seriously, that video had a horrible ending, with no advice on how that might be feasible.
And it sounds worse to me than just being overweight and eventually getting diabetes and dying early (like most of my family)
I think that what you will realize if you do it is that other tastes become far more pronounced and you start to enjoy the medley of tastes that are inherent in food. And feeling better all of the time is a far bigger reward than a salty, sweet, oily taste just some of the time. At least that's how it's been in my life as I've improved on this continuum.
Interesting.
Although I'm sceptical about that working for me specifically: I have a very weak sense of smell and therefore taste, so sweet, salty, umami, etc is probably much more of my tasting experience compared to most people. Without that I think I'd be left with not much at all.
As an example, spicy ('hot') in food to me is pure pain. I literally can't comprehend how there could be any kind of flavor to it that people not only enjoy, but so much that they actively seek it enough to build a tolerance to the capsaicin.
I am the same. I can't smell shit. But I think in the absence of something stronger, your body starts to tune in on whatever the next strongest taste is. At least that's my experience.
Yeah I was like... And end up with an entirely different set of health issues?? These things are necessary for a healthy diet
Not to mention whether it's even possible to avoid sugars, fats, and salt.
It isn't.
Most foods has sugar in it naturally occuring... So they prolly mean added-refined sugar
Oil is a base food, is they mean low quality oil extracted with harsh chemicals... Normies call it "seed oil" not sure where they got this nomanclature since oil quality and health benefits are result of processing techniques used.
There is a reason why people used cold pressed oil for salad for example...
Salt is necessary nutrient for life so I guess they mean just avoid ultra processed foods
Yeah, if the take away is that we need to cut out all fats, salt and sugar, then we're missing out on basic nutritional needs. Our bodies REQUIRE fat, salt, and sugar to function properly and for overall health, just in reasonable amounts.
