I was so confused after watching this, didn’t know what to eat or what not to eat.

Yeah he was more talking about
smaller adjustments versus what
to eat altogether, so I can see how
it would be confusing.
So, plant-based eating is the lowest
inflammatory diet. It can be hard to
go full vegan though, but even
cutting back on meat will help your
health (and the environment).
Cutting back on refined
carbohydrates (ex: white flour) and
having more whole grains (ex:
whole wheat bread) is better for
health.
Cutting back on added
sugar (sugar without fiber) and
having more whole fruit (sugar
with fiber) is better for health.
Cutting back on meat will
automatically help you cut back on
saturated fat, which is
recommended to do for health.
Try to get healthy fats from nuts,
seeds, and healthier oils like olive
oil and seed oils.
Veggies are great for you.
Cutting back on dairy is good for you.
If you can avoid trans fat altogether, it’s recommended
(deep fried foods often have trans
fat, especially when the same oil is
used over and over again, like fast
food places usually do).
Omega 3’s are really good for you. Fish used to be a good source, but with all the toxicity in the ocean now (which is absorbed by the fish), it’s safer to get Omega 3’s from plant sources.
Flax seed is an excellent source of Omega 3’s. Ground flaxseed goes really well on yogurt and oatmeal.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask
me any questions you’d like. <3
