No. Sugars, fats, and salts are essential for the human body to function. Why do you think Pocari Sweat is sold all over the world? (Basically Gatorade) It’s because you need sugar and salts to absorb water more effectively.

Things like Red 40, TBHQ, BHA, BHT, modified starch(s), bleached flour, hydrolyzed oils, textured protein, emulsifiers, a long list of what should not be in food. Also that plant based fake crap should be off the shelf. You don’t crave bacon because you want to eat something with paragraph of “ingredients” shaped into something that looks like it and the same goes with cheese, I’ll pass on the orange soy slice ugh those are so nasty. Fried tempeh is so much better than fake bacon, and it’s even better fried in bacon grease.

My answer is having a less sit on your ass all day lifestyle is the actual solution. When I was very physically active I would consume 5000-10000 calories a day and couldn’t break 125 pounds until I got in my late twenties. You’re not going to function well in -30 to -40 climates well if you don’t eat right. So diets are situational. As well as accommodation to food allergies. I can’t eat wheat or lentils. And a cup of rice and beans is like 500 calories.
