Except every bit of dogmatic conventional wisdom from the past decades coming from the medical field / paid for by pharmaceutical companies / paid for by food giants has been either debunked or has turned out to be highly questionable and is back up for scrutiny and research again.
Attitudes are starting to change. But If you go to your local hospital and ask for a nutrition plan from a doctor, a nurse, or a registered dietician, all of which are mostly likely fat, ugly middle-aged slobs who clearly have no idea what they're talking about, most of them will still you give you the good ol' conventional wisdom plan of decades past they learned during their schooling:
Eat a shit ton of carbohydrates, make it the cornerstone of your diet
Eat "fat-free" products
Worship whole wheat bread
Replace natural fats with canola and soybean oils, who are totally super healthy trust us
Reduce salt
Eat a ton of small meals, because magic
Never fast or skip a meal, it will kill you
Run away screaming from saturated fats
Eating fat makes you fat... so eat carbs instead
Exercise because it will totally help you lose weight and keep it off
Protein is really bad OK, it will kill your kidneys, have a piece of bread instead
Drink skim milk... because fat, and fat is scary
Sugar totally doesn't cause metabolic syndrome
No seriously sugar is just bad because it's empty calories... it doesn't do anything else
Red meat will kill you
Low-carb diets will you, eat more bread
I mean... feel free to follow that plan if you want, fam.
