The problem in our word nowadays is that we live in an environment in which most of our foods are very calorically dense, and very nutrient poor.⁣ So when “experts” say to eat less calories, because of how far removed from our original environment we are, most people don’t know how to intuitively eat their adapted diet and they often come up WAY short of the essential nutrients they need. All because they think eating less calories is best.⁣
