Uncomplicating Diet & Nutrition

There are many variables that make losing weight super complicated but for the sake of this video, I'm speaking to people that are relatively healthy and want to know how they should eat in a way that is not so complicated. There is never a one size fits all approach but I think there are basic physiological things as well as observations from nature that can give us a more common sense approach to look at diet and nutrition. For example we know that that there are essential amino acids(things that we can't survive without) and essential fatty acids. No where have we ever discovered essential carbs. Does this mean that carbs are bad? No not at all.. it's just that they are not essential to living. We also look at nature and the seasonality of food which basically tells us that Carbs were available seasonally in a lot of areas of the world. So I think what we can glean from these points are that fats & proteins are essential to living and should be a staple in your diet. Last point is that they should be quality sources from things like grass fed beef, free range chicken, pork & fresh water fish. Fats need to be high quality as well, staying away from damaged oxidized ones.
