If you eat more plants and animals and less breads and sugars you do lose weight and feel better. I’m no science guy but that does work. People over complicate this shit.
It's mostly the plants tbh, dietary fiber is frequently ignored in macro discussions but absolutely critical
fiber is so strange because it's function is basically just to pass through you, and yet it's so vital for the digestive system to function properly
everyone keeps saying "oh dietary supplements are just pissing away money" but fibre supplements are the one supplement most people would benefit hugely from taking, just get some psyllium husk or whatever and enter toilet nirvana
Just for context, it's a uniquely American problem. The rest of the developed world on average eats more balanced diet and don't need to supplement fiber.
The uniquely US problem is poor people having terrible diets, but lack of fibre for non-poor people is a thing all over the world aside from maybe like, japan..
i've personally benefitted greatly from just opting for whole-grain versions of things like pasta, much better poops now.
Some people around the world eat what is sometimes known as "american diet", but it's not a norm yet, not everywhere.
