> don't eat boxed foods or foods that went through multiple stages of processing
What's wrong with cheese, or butter? Or sauerkraut and pickles? All processed food. Also, powdered mashed potatoes and puffed rice are just conveniently preserved starch. They're perfectly healthy.
The "processed food" and "mostly plants" stuff is just marketing psychology that taps into SWPLs' inner hippie. The real diet rules aren't mystical:
* Avoid sugar, especially fructose
* Avoid vegetable oils
* Don't be afraid of saturated fat
* Prefer rice and potatoes to wheat/rye/etc
* If you're fat, try cutting out starch, but don't worry about it if you're not fat.
