If I don't eat protein, I get shaky fairly soon after eating. And nut-based sources of protein have me not feeling very well either later, not sure if it's a mild allergy or what (my daughter is allergic to cashews and pistachios, but not peanuts for some odd reason).
We're not supposed to eat fats (bad for your heart), carbs (bad for diabetes and weight), or now animal-based protein (causes cancer). Gluten is bad and has been linked to autism.
When scientists finally figure out what I'm allowed to eat, I'll eat a diet that helps keep my weight in line and helps me have energy through the day. I'lll conitnue following the golden rule: you need a little bit of everything, but not too much of anything.
