When you're getting your micronutrients, you're also getting the fiber because a lot of the micronutrients are coming from plants, which are a great source of both fermentable and non-fermentable fiber. I think it's a really simple way. There's so many fad diets out there, right? Carnivore, keto, vegetarian, paleo. And I do think paleo is the closest thing to what I'm talking about.

But what I'm talking about is even simpler because what it really means is that you understand why you need food. What's the purpose of food, right? The purpose of food is to provide you with these essential vitamins and minerals and fatty acids like omega-3 and protein. and fiber to improve gut health. That's the purpose of eating.

Right. And so that means you don't need ultra-processed foods. That means if you're eating something like just carnivore diet, you're going to be missing out on a lot of micronutrients.

Have you heard of the protein leverage hypothesis?

Have you heard of the protein leverage hypothesis?

Have you heard of the protein leverage hypothesis?

Yeah. So it's kind of the same thing where your body needs a certain amount of protein to run optimally. And if you're eating – there's been a couple of randomized controlled trials on this. I think it's like Stephen Simpson is one of the proponents of it. It was like 2000s or something.

And that essentially, if you're eating ultra-processed foods, which are high in a lot of refined carbohydrates, low in protein, that you overeat to sort of try to get enough protein. So it does make sense. If your body is looking for more of micronutrients, more vitamins, more minerals, more protein, that you start to overeat.
