Why not just do an ancestry test and eat closest to whatever your past generations ate?

I’m not super knowledgeable on diet.

But I had a thought. If I’m mostly Mediterranean, wouldn’t a Mediterranean diet be ideal for me? Similarly, wouldn’t an African benefit most from eating foods of their ancestors?

if you want to eat healthy focus on eating whole foods, low saturated fats, low cholesterol, high fiber and adequate mufa, moderate carbs and protein

the past 3 generations in my part of europe have lived on nothing but potatoes and gravy.

Even if assuming the ancestry test was entirely accurate, I am not sure such an elementary take should be applied to diet unequivocally.

Because my ancestors were retards who mostly ate bread and grains, then died at 42 and probably looked like shriveled up raisins already at age 25.

We have much better information available about optimal nutrition compared to our genetic relatives who lived in the 1400s.

Limited processed carbs, grain fed meat, coldwater salmon, berries, veggies, water, monounsaturated fats. Works great for health and looksmaxing purposes..

I doubt my ancestors had consistent clean access to these 700 years ago. They were disease ridden and died early.

Some ethnic ancestral groups do have tasty diets, like the african Maasai. Just honey, roasted meat and nuts. They are taller than the Dutch and not a single overweight person in sight.

Most people had shit diets since the agricultural revolution.

Your ancestors realistically had shit diet the only reason they would have had more developed facial structures would be from the hardness of food + the fact that they literally did manual labour for 60+ hours a week and were extremely lean
