I'm eating a lot fewer veggies and fruits, far more meat and eggs, and I feel much more energetic, very noticeable. I'm inching my way, potentially, into the carnivore diet. I'm also immersing myself in some of the contrarian books on the topic.
For a takedown of veggie "superfoods", you might find the book Toxic Superfoods interesting. Quick summary - oxalates (and other compounds in plants) can cause serious health issues over time, and acute health issues for some people. This is especially a problem with some of the plant products regarded as superfoods, especially spinach, almonds, and chia seeds. Those are some of the worst in oxalates, and I've eliminated them completely from my diet.
Spinach and almonds cause problems? Can you point me to a tldr? Those are a couple of my favorites. :(

I pretty much summarized it above.
I would listen to an interview with Sally Norton, the author, if you want some more info.
In addition, this talk by Dr. Anthony Chaffee (a well-known carnivore personality) is outstanding. He also talks about oxalates.

I'm more like a veggie and beans based diet, mixed with meat ( I like kebab and kofte haha) and olive oil almost in everything:) and I eat fruit and honey often, and avoid sugar as much as I can.
I can't tell which one is better, but I think go for the ones that works for you, and not just diet, air, water and the environment is also really important too!
