Which diet is best?

It can be so confusing. There are so many diets and health plans that do make sense, but which one is the best? There is vegan, vegetarian, paleo, ketogenic; there are meat eaters, ovo vegetarian, lacto vegetarians, lacto-ovo vegetarians. The list goes on. Even some health documentaries have people in them that have conflicting opinions. One says we should eat potatoes, another says potatoes are harmful to eat. One says olive oil is good, another says it is bad. One says humans should not consume legumes, another says we need a cup of beans a day to stay healthy!






I think they are all right. At certain times, maybe potatoes and olive oil isn't the best thing for a person. When healing the gut, certain foods should be put aside for a while. The important thing is for an individual to listen to their body and see how a food makes them feel. Common sense needs to come into play here. Some times we need to take a break from even something we perceive as a 'superfood.' Some diets might be healthful for a while, but harmful long term. There are as many answers as there are individuals. Find what works for you.
