I am simply outlining what has been working for me, after trying a bunch of fad diets over the years (including keto).
Did you look into Ray Peat? I would suggest to read his articles which are all based on scientific literature, without cherry-picking.
Orange Juice is a convenient way to ingest potassium which is one of the main minerals most people lack in their diet, and it tastes great without it having additives. Good taste and craving something (except if induced by unnatural/extracted chemicals) is a great indicator for me to choose what to eat and drink. What on paper is wrong with orange juice in your opinion? The sugar? Please read this carefully: http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/glycemia.shtml
On paper, white rice might seem nutritionally light in contrast to brown rice, yet I would argue that the net benefit is higher since the anti-nutrients in brown rice strip your body of certain minerals and vitamins. This also goes for a lot of nuts and seeds. They are okay when in proportion.
I only buy organic white rice for the reason you mentioned (pesticides).
I specifically mentioned high-quality dairy for a reason. Typical pasteurized dairy which is also factory-farmed is indeed highly inflammatory and to be mostly avoided. Especially fermented dairy is well-tolerated by most people and can be gradually introduced while monitoring how the body reacts.
Thanks for your response!
