Hey @thewseph0319 Don't know who you are or what you do, but you seem to know your stuff and so I'm glad to have you here! Diet and nutrition interests me and a lot of people, so it would be great to read whole posts from you, which you can post using the steemstem tag - steemSTEM's middle name is evidence-based! - and thereby get greater upvotes as well as visibility for your content.

Sometimes I feel the nutritional recommendations fall short of the optimum precisely because they're aiming at what they think is actionable by most people. But some people are not most people! Some people can follow more stringent recommendations. In this era of health- and body-obsession, more and more people are becoming like that. Recommending an ideal diet which would be followed by a few now would perhaps pay off long-term, because the few would become a real-life example that would perhaps provide inspiration for the many. Perhaps most people are not such couch potatoes as we think, they're just disappointed because no diet they follow seems to work.

In other words, I think we should talk about what the optimal diet is (and most people who ask about diet ask precisely this), instead of just what the most practically actionable diet is for the average person who can't afford a lot of time to learn about diet.

Off to read the article you linked!
