Not gonna lie, this isn't that bad. Especially if the dressing you drench them in is fatty instead of carby

Can you tell me how eating 2/3 plate of literally just meat and cheese is supposed to be "not that bad"?

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I mean, it really depends on the details. I didn't exactly claim these were balanced meals, and honestly I don't think cheese has a significant negative impact on people. But we're comparing it to what the person probably used to eat, to heavy-carb foods (especially "salads" such as potato salad), and to foods that lack nutrition. These salads have a lot of nutrition and not a lot of carbs. Salt and the worse fats are probably the biggest problem here.

People need salt. If you don’t eat salt, your body can’t retain water or conduct nerve signals. If you’re chronically dehydrated and unable to conduct nerve signals, your life sucks.

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but I'm just saying people need to watch their salt.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Everybody knows that already though. Almost nobody seems to know that it’s dangerous to take in insufficient salt.

Yeah it could be a plate of pure butter I guess

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Eating 2/3 of a plate generally speaking isn’t a bad idea, and dietary science has advanced since the 1980s to the point where we now know the body can produce fat from dietary intakes other than actual fat.

In fact, a high fat, low carb diet like a plate of 2/3 meat and cheese plus some veggies, is a great way to improve one’s gut biome.

My own anxiety and depression basically disappear when I keep my carb intake below 120 grams a day.

I'm not reading all that but good job explaining maybe idk

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 0 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't eat this personally but it does have lots of protein.

[-] Summzashi@lemmy.one 2 points 2 months ago

25 cheeseburgers have that too

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

That’s it the pants are coming off!

Yes. Only a wee bit cholesterol

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Dietary cholesterol being bad for you is a myth.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Cholesterol is a biochemical precursor to serotonin, among other things.
