Sodium is crucial.

Right now i'm doing IF and when i do eat its low carb. Stay away from sugars, simple carbs, sodas (even diet), processed meats
My proteins are usually beef, chicken, fish
I do have rice, but generally its brown rice, if its white rice i wash it off first
lots of fibrous veggies
Only certain kinds of fruit. I like bananas, but ripe/very ripe yellow bananas are not the same in fiber and sugar content as green bananas, stuff like grapes have little to no fiber but a crapload of fructose. fiberous carbs are ok, they don't hit your blood sugar/insulin that hard. Low fiber high sugar kicks your blood sugar causing your body to release insulin, packing everything to fat stores

In my experience high sodium leads to water retention, which leads to higher readings on the scale even if you're technically losing weight.

To an extent yes but there's a high limit. I think you're way more likely to bloat with an excess carb intake than with sodium. Water is good. Number on scale should be irrelevant if your bf% is going down, right?

when i was getting the WIC card for my kids, they only permit whole grain and wheat - pastas, breads, etc
so we only ate wheat bread and wheat pasta for years.
after that was over, i got a loaf of white wonder bread.
it tasted so g damned amazing.

There's no difference between brown rice and white rice. You're deluded if you think otherwise.

White is superior for sure

Brown rice contains an antinutrient known as phytic acid, or phytate, that makes it more difficult to digest

Should be, but there's a mental aspect to losing weight. If you're not progressing well related to your perceived effort, it's easier to quit trying.

This 100%
Also diets are stupid unless you're saying you are changing your whole diet in which case it is just a lifestyle change.
Eat clean food, mostly vegs, and use portion control
Then win.

And 100% this. Ditto for potatoes. I find rice and pasta a bit repetitive, love a baked potato.
Once again Juggs asks a question, disagrees with knowledgeable people who try to help him, and continues with his anti-carb bull****. Pointless.
And drink water until you're ****ing bored with doing it. Then drink some more.
