I still think that Insulin Sensitivity is a key, and I still think burning fat (“keto”) is important.
But I’m finding reasons to believe that the latter-day extreme diets are not the best answer overall.
I think the most important piece is a short eating window and a longer daily period of fasting.
Limiting calories matters for longevity, and moving (as in walking) is essential.

I think that I’m going to shift away from grains and even beans to a point.
And replace a lot of them with fish. Especially salmon. Especially high-quality canned salmon for price reasons.
In particular, I’m not going to stop eating pintos and garbanzos, but over time I will probably eat less of them.
I may not refill the bulk rice bucket.
On the tortilla front I’m going to investigate almond flour versions very closely.
On fruits, I’ll probably be sticking to berries.
Lots more avocado. Some sauerkraut. Goat cheese. Back to the MCT oil.
And lots and lots of vegetables, especially of the above-ground variety. As in: celery over carrots, for dipping up that partly wicked hummus.
