The last 5 years I've enjoyed eating high nutrient foods. I started helping my friend learn more which led me to share here after organizing my thoughts. Benefits - I enjoy what I eat - My energy and mood is high throughout the day - Good physical performance doing my minimum effective dose MED of exercise, walking|running ≥3.3 miles a day, and upper | lower body weight exercises throughout the week. This has resulted in ~13.4% body fat measured regularly and a 7:14 minute mile in '23 I've never counted before or since. - Works with cooking at home or at most restaurants anywhere I've lived so far in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the United States, with access being easy and affordable Food overview - Foods that have a lot of nutrients (Nutrient dense) - Foods with carbohydrates also have a high amount of fiber, E.g. Vegetables like sweet potatoes and squash, legumes like beans and chickpeas, quinoa, etc. - Usually non and low processed foods

What's categorized as "slow carbs" explains this well. However thinking about the "high nutrient foods" is more positive than focusing on carbs. This /brave AI explanation is pretty good. I'd edit it though and stay away from whole grains most of the time. Many products market themselves with "whole grains" and don't have a high amount of fiber compared to the total carbs. https://search.brave.com/search?q=What+are+slow+carbs%3F&source=web&summary=1&conversation=bf1151e0a4f6c0c6a18272

Tim Ferriss' book "The 4-Hour Body" reintroduced "slow carbs" to me in a clear and detailed way after hearing about this many years before in high school wrestling. Part VI and Part VII of the audiobook cover this. [1] Healthline has also been a solid source of wellness research.

I have my own "food plan" I've built up over the years. I don't open the notes a lot since it's mainly a list of major food groups that I'm aware of based on where I'm living. When I discover something new I enjoy I add it here or if I can't remember something I reference this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a0TjThjBwnindIjmeFOZfAAI4gB935-A-Y4qP_eF_vg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.oi00sow0mwv3
