But maybe the issue then was everyone’s substituting shit tons of sugar/other carbs but thinking that was OK because of „low fat“?
Obviously fat carries flavor, so I, being the hedonist that I am, took the whole „fats are not evil - drink your whole milk, eat real butter and have as many eggs as you want“ dietary recommendation revisions of the last decade, or so, as license to return to the diet of my uninformed, happy youth. You seem to be saying that to train successfully and move toward 20% or lower body fat, I may need to be a bit more restrictive. Fair synopsis?
