There is no such thing as a healthy balanced diet. This may have been true 100 years ago before Monsanto and Bayer came along with their chemicals and engineered poisons, and while the soil contained all 60 minerals, but this is no longer the case.
The so called quality multivitamins are mostly synthetic. The minerals they contain are made from ground-up rocks, and go by the name of carbonate or gluconate, or oyster shell. Humans cannot absorb rocks, and since vitamins won't work without mineral co-factors, most multivitamins are useless.
People who listen to their doctor are told they can get everything they need from the four food groups. This is a lie and has always been a lie, that is why people are getting sicker and sicker, because you can't cure a deficiency unless you supplement with all 60 minerals in colloidal form.
Most soil is depleted of several minerals, and has been since the mid 30's. Farmers add NPK (nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium) to the soil for maximum crop yield, however they do not add selenium, copper, boron, nor any of the other 57 minerals.
Plants take C02 from the air, and use the power of the sun to create vitamins, but cannot manufacture minerals, and as stated in an earlier post, you cannot tell how many minerals are in a carrot just by looking at it.
If you listen to your doctor, you will most likely live to the average lifespan, and will be sick for the last 10 years of your life. If you supplement with all 90 nutrients, including 60 minerals in colloidal form (one ounce per 100 pounds of body weight per day) you can easily double the average lifespan and be in good health til the day you just don't wake up..at age 150
My plan was to at least get the colloidal mineral supplement. Recommendations on a good one - cost effective and locally available would be nice. We have a few organic health food stores closeby.

I've posted a couple of posts on here in the past on the nutrient depletion of the soil. And on the low absorption of certain types of mineral supplement i.e. calcium carbonate, the main 'osteo' supplement issued by doctors, having an absorption rate of only 7%.
Not true to tar all supplements with the same brush though.
Twice I've remineralized serious tooth decay, something your dentist will tell you can't be done. I used vegan amino acid chelated minerals derived from seaweed.
There are 'supplements' and there are 'supplements'. Plenty of sub-standard ones of limited value, but also some high quality and effective ones.

I think my protein-fat-carb balance is off. My carbs come from fruits and vegetables. My protein intake is moderate at best. I eat avocado and lots of nuts each day. In general, then, I think my balance errs on the side of fat being my primary fuel. But I'm really tiny. I weigh 118 and am 5,3, very low body fat. I dance 12 hours a week. It occurred to me that even though I eat healthy fats, perhaps that is still too much fat. Is there a danger in this? I don't eat grains at all. A) I have celiac disease and B) they just mess with my blood sugar big time.
Thoughts?
Keep up the good work.

Ya, Tim is looking pre-diabetic in that pic, isn't he? Looks just like the pic posted in the article with the obese folks recommending the high carb diet.

'High protein diets "place an undue stress on the kidneys that can lead to long term damage"
"If one avoids sugars completely the liver has to work overtime to produce glucose from fat and protein and this is unhealthy"
"A lack of carbohydrates means the brain can struggle to produce serotonin"
'Noakes himself admits that if a person embarks on a low carbohydrate/high protein diet it must be done for life'
See earlier posts on the dangers of high fat / animal protein diet.

You will never be able to convince a goat what a healthy diet is. He is too stubborn and although quite knowledgeable, is stuck in second gear.
Carbs could be vegetables, especially root vegetables, or carbs could be high fructose corn syrup, soda, donuts, or white flour... When it comes to explaining to the goat, one must specify exact clarification of fact.
Good fats, such as coconut, avocado, flax seed, borage, fish oil, evening primrose, etc should make up about 50% of the diet, with the remaining 50% split even between protein and carbs, and that means complex carbs, not refined carbs.
I would also include butter in the list of good fats for non-vegans, and even though I dislike pork, would also include lard.
Instead of suggesting everyone become vegan, which is probably a good idea, I would suggest giving your body all the nutrients it needs to repair, protect, and regenerate, then slowly making changes in diet toward more plants and less meats, especially the feedlot contaminated variety.
It is absolutely crucial that the body gets enough cholesterol to prevent Alzheimer's and erectile dysfunction, especially in people who are on statin drugs. I would suggest a minimum 4 large eggs per day, either poached or soft-scrambled in butter not margarine.
Protein or carbs cannot protect you from Alzheimer's, while sugars and vegetable oils will speed up the dementia process.

1) Exactly. Carbs are not bad of themselves. But there are good carbs and there are bad carbs. Good sources of health-enhancing carbohydrate incl. fruit, vegetables, oats...
2) And the same with fats. Mr Goat was advocating up to 60% calories from fat - you're advocating 50%. Still too high. Around 35% is a healthy balance.
3) Butter and lard, good fats? A minimum of 4 large eggs a day? and cooked in butter? Total madness.
