I had some pretty great shrimp and grits when I was near Nashville for work 5ish years ago. They had a great beer selection too.

Think what we evolved to eat. The carbs we have today weren't available through most of history and most people think that any diet that doesn't include daily twinkies is very low carb. It's about resetting your expectations.

Same for me.
I can only tell you what worked for me and guess it might work for you.
Go to OA meetings. Overeater's Anonymous.
Go see a hypnotist.

I think it's also a little bit of the blood type diet. Though I've only heard the executive summary of the blood type diet so it might be crazypants when you get into it. They say that your blood type indicates what part of the world your ancestors came from and people in different parts of the world evolved to eat different diets. But only slightly different, there isn't a blood type that evolved to handle a box of twinkies a day.

Indeed, I’m assuming he also likes American cheese. Probably a dirty Commie!

There's some variance in blood type by ethnicity, but nothing at the level where a random individual could make dietary decisions based on it.
Blood type distribution by ethnicity U.S. 2021 | Statista
The most common blood type among the population in the United States is O-positive.

And in any case:
"Does It Work?
One study found that adults eating the type A diet showed improved health markers, but this occurred in everyone, not just those with type A blood type. In 2013, a major review concluded that no evidence exists to support benefits of blood type diets."

Yeah I can't even find much about it on the internet. I basically talked to 2 people who read the book. My guess is the numbers don't add up due to too much intermingling and not enough blood types. But that discussion is what first got me to thinking about the diets of our ancestors and it kinda clicked for me because of what I already knew about super grains and the food pyramid scam.

I remember when Paleo first hit the streets and I was like "hey this sounds pretty good. Eat like we were designed to eat". They I saw it said "grass fed beef" because thats what the animals ate back then and grass fed was like 2x the price of regular beef and I noped the fuck out.

It is tastier and apparently healthier.
I assume it’s similar to farmed vs wild caught fish.

If you were here, I'd slap you. Sorry to those who love it, but I don't eat American cheese.

most beef aficionados prefer grass fed grain finished beef, as opposed to all grass
we finish the ones we've fed out in the pasture on high quality grains and they’re wonderful
