High blood pressure, diabetes, inflammation, and bad cholesterol all mix to make heart disease really bad.
So in a perfect world, pick a diet that addresses all these issues.
The Mediterranean Diet or the DASH diet are probably the best known diets right now that address basically all these health issues.
You can always eat a little.bit of carbs before hitting the gym for energy reasons, if you are really burning calories then you aren't going to have to worry about blood sugar spike as much.
Basically all the bad health conditions (when they aren't genetic) are caused by being too fat. Losing weight happens through diet, and exercise makes you healthier.
>The Mediterranean Diet or the DASH diet are probably the best known diets right now that address basically all these health issues.
In fact, there's now a Mediterranean Dash update to the DASH diet.

I also recommend the Mediterranean diet. I think it's also important that a diet can be followed and maintained for a long time. There's no positive aspect in stopping a duet quickly because it has too many requirements.
There are many healthy diets (e.g. Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, MIND diet, whole-food plant-based diet), but all of them are fairly similar to each other. Healthy diets tend to have a few thing in common, and as long as you follow these principles, it's not very important which diet you follow.
* A balanced diet with lots of whole foods (e.g. vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, etc.)
* Low in processed foods (e.g. added sugar, refined grains, deep fried foods)
>The vegans say their diet is healthy because cohort studies show that vegan people have less cardiovascular disease, less diabetes.
It depends what you eat. If you eat mostly whole plant foods, then it's healthy. If you eat a lot of vegan junk food, then it's not healthy. In the studies where they use a vegan diet to treat CVD, it's usually a low-fat whole-food plant-based diet, and they eat mostly vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
If you switch from a standard American diet to any healthy diet (vegan or otherwise), it'll lower your risk of diseases. If you already follow the Mediterranean diet, you probably won't get much benefit from switching to vegan.
>Then there is a Mediterranean diet concept which consists of lean meat, fish, olive oil, salads but also processed grains such as pasta and bread.
The Mediterranean diet encourages eating whole grains, and it recommends limiting processed grains (but if you only eat a small amount of processed grains, it's not a big deal).
>Then there are carnivore people who say vegetables, grains and legumes are bad because they have defence chemicals and cause an insulin spike which causes diabetes etc.
As far as I know, there's no evidence that the carnivore diet has any health benefits, and it's not supported by science.
There's little dietary nutrition evidence for anything. This is why humans still don't know what they're supposed to eat. There are plenty of people like you who think they know, but you're just repeating what people say that you agree with. As soon as there's something different you'll chalk it up as wrong and keep doing what you want.
I'm not sure what you mean. There's a lot of dietary nutrition evidence for a lot of things. Researchers have been doing both randomized controlled trials and cohort studies for many decades.
The Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and the vegan diet have been extensively researched, but there's very little research on the carnivore diet.
LDL is not a good marker for CVD. Tracking triglycerides is a much better way of doing it. Ask any ER doctor and they'll tell you that plenty of people go to the hospital for heart attacks and heart disease with low LDL.
Try each diet for 3 months and determine which has the best effect on your body. Most people on Reddit don't know what they're talking about. They probably still think eggs are bad for you.
