So guys, what are your thoughts on the optimal diet for humans?Omnivorous? Vegan? Paleo? Or does the body do a decent job extracting nutrition from whatever we shovel in? Assuming no moral contraints (veganism etc), and for regular 20-40 year olds (not bodybuilders etc)
Best human diet
Pescetarian, so long as you're eating fish high in omega oils and therefore naturally caught, rather than farmed.
Omnivore (very light on meats and dairy) and low processed or no processed foods.
I drink lots of vodka. That cleans out my system, and even cleans my teeth (I haven’t brushed in years, and haven’t had a cavity since).
I also eat a liverwurst sandwich pretty much every day – to counterbalance the effects the vodka has on my liver. I make my sandwiches on seeded rye (because it’s the healthiest bread), with mayo (because eggs are the best protein; I use kewpie, because the msg makes it taste better), coarse mustard (good for the white blood cells), zucchini pickles (because they taste good), and a bunch of baby spinach (just for filler; it could honestly be left out).
I also eat a lot of canned fish (mostly sardines, but also the occasional fancy smoked oysters) on saltines. They give you all your essential amino acids, and provide a nice opportunity to try out various hot sauces, which are generally very low in calories, while high in flavor and immensely prodigious to healthiness.
Aside from that, I drink large amounts of water (anywhere between ice-cold to slightly chilled) every day, always through a straw, and sometimes with a lemon wedge.
To each their own, I say, but I’m just shy of 30 and am doing better than most of you.
This. Humans eat too much meat, it's damaging our health and the enviroment.
If we want to live longer we should cut down the meat intake.
Everything in moderation, ive read enough to see conflicting results, excercise is more likely to have an effect on health imo
Strangely i feel healthier when eating pretty much nothing but meat
Have you gone to a doctor? It's scientifically proven moderate meat intake is good for you, but currently we have a culture where we eat an excess amount of meat.

In all seriousness this actually sounds quite interesting (and delicious). I might try this out, would replacing the vodka with Scotch be acceptable, user?
You need enough proteins, fats, fiber, vitamins and other micronutrients. There's a lot to cover, but it's not that difficult when you learn to avoid empty shit foods and are not a picky bitch.
What I figure is easy to do and helps:
a) Eat enough meat and fish
b) Avoid dairy, many people get skin problems from that
c) Fruits are sort of overrated, oranges and similar are great though. Bananas are good too.
d) Broccoli, beans, carrots, mushrooms are great
e) Use good oils with lots of unsaturated fats (Olive or similar)
f) Avoid added sugar (sucrose) as much as you can. It's not about the shit itself, but the foods that usually contain it. It's shit shit shit.
g) That means only drink fucking water, tea and coffee. NO sodas, by no means. Also no diet soda shit, they numb your taste buds and make you crave for sweets.
h) Make eating a routine. Don't just run to the fridge all the time. Establish two or three times at which you eat something a day and eat only then. No snacks etc.
