Most places fuck up their red meat. It'll have globs of tendon or nerve or something and that instantly ruins a meal. I tend to avoid it for that reason.
The pho above sure looks good though.
Those are the best parts! Go to your local butcher and order a chuck. Sear it for like two minutes and eat it raw. Gooooood Lord it is soooo goood
When I eat too many carbs, I basically become a junkie... Always hungry as fuck, and I feel bloated, tired, and shitty... and also gain weight on top of it.
I really believe that vegetables provide enough carbohydrates and that grains are usually not necessary. If I do eat carbs, I try to shoot for those with a lower glycemic index. I usually end of fucking up a couple of times a week, but whatever.
Meat is good. I esp love seafood. Shrimp, mussels, oysters.
One good thing about carbs is that they put you to sleep so much better than when you're running on pure ketones. Sure, I need less sleep, but I also like sleeping, lol.
What's really important is that you eat the foods you're genetically and ancestrally predisposed for. I got more Thai in me than Dutch, but I still benefit from mostly meats but I could do better incorporating more natural coconut products/garlic/not ridiculously processed rice. My Dutch side is also constantly craving dairy, which after being on Zerocarb for a while, I've learned to listen to my body's needs better. Unfortunately, finding raw dairy is so hard in Tasmania
I've learned that carbs aren't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that the majority of carbs are TERRIBLE for you, since they're sprayed with GMOs and pesticides that completely fuck you up than if you were eating grassfed meat. So yeah, low glycemic carbs are good, but you could do better according to your physiology/ancestry, by avoiding pesticides and GMO ridden foods in general.
But again, it's ideal to keep carbs minimal, because ancestrally, most people didn't consume huge amounts of carbs as part of their natural diet before Western foods were introduced. Their near perfect health is due to large animal fat consumption and naturally grown carb sources.
Seafood has plenty of nutrients you don't normally get from land-based animals. Vitamin K2 is especially hard to come by and you usually get it from fatty fish/roe. The other downside is that seafood untouched by the aquaculture industry is also hard and especially expensive
You wanna avoid anything that's farmed and go for open water fishes.
