The healthiest diet in the world is the whole food plant based diet. But most people are not willing to do what it takes to change their diet for the better. If you want dietary excellence you need to jump right in. It's the only way to learn first hand what the best diet is and see the results for yourself. If you had type 2 diabetes and I told you that you can reverse it with just diet and exercise, would you try it?

Whole eggs, lobster, salmon, chicken and beef have the highest cholesterol. But do you know how much cholesterol all plant foods have? ZERO. Same for oatmeal, beans, potatoes, rice and fruit.

As I've gotten older I've leaned more and more toward a WFPB diet which has helped me cure some of my own ailments such as bloat, migraines, hemorrhoids, bad skin, and most recently Malasma due to hormonal imbalance.

This way of eating will inevitably lead to a reduction in healthcare costs as well.
The original version of the Atkins diet encouraged people to eat almost exclusively food made up of meat, poultry, cheese, butter, fish, eggs and vegetable oils without any carbohydrates. This diet clearly lacks dietary fiber, vitamin C, essential carbohydrates and, thousands of other nutrients. We have since learned through experience and research that eating a high-fat, low carbohydrate, animal based diet is wrong. But today's so called "health experts" continue to vilify wheat and carbs and encourage people to avoid rice, corn and potatoes. What's left? Animal foods, vegetable oils, and a few non-starchy vegetables, the same foods once approved on the Atkins diet.
The wealthier we are the higher the consumption of meat, dairy foods and vegetable oils. And the consumption of these foods have more than doubled over the past 35 years while the consumption of rice has decreased. As a consequence the health of people worldwide has deteriorated during this same period with alarming, near epidemic increases in obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The fact is that it's the food that's making us fat and sick.
