Nutrition philosophies:
Any “diet” or way of eating that removes a macronutrient group is not healthy or good for your body or brain
Restriction never helped anyone achieve their health goals
Weight is NOT the only measure of health, and is often not the best or most accurate one
Carbs are delicious, necessary and useful for adequate brain function
