I'm still trying to decide what I think about poverty being the result of being truly a self-made man.

The diet described sounded like a good way to get one's body more in tune with its origins, and to keep it satisfied.
Although, since the human species is more than just its body, satisfaction is actually just a point of equilibrium.
If you were just a body, simply acting upon your instincts would lead you to satiate your appetite, and that would be the end of it.
Progressing towards happiness or joy, or whatever you want to call it, sounds to me more like a worthwhile goal, than does mere satisfaction, or satiation.
After sufficiently reducing the cost of acquiring adequate caloric intake, the diet that is best pursued by man, is the one that brings the greatest happiness.
The appetites of the body are not perfectly perceived by man's intellect, no matter what diet is being followed, despite that it is through the intellect that the superior component of mankind is manifest. I am specifically avoiding saying that man's intellect is, of its own self, the superior component of man, although it is one way that we have of perceiving man's progress beyond natural instincts.
There is a price to pay for this progress, and a certain duality or disconnect happens, generally speaking. However, seeking ways to overcome that disconnect, by attempting to determine what the body-component of man would instinctually consume, isn't necessarily the best or most efficient way of seeking happiness.
(Although, all else being equal, two people eating the same diet, the own who gains the most weight has the most efficient metabolism, so not even efficiency is necessarily happiness.)
If you don't exist to be happy, or to seek after it, what is the primary purpose of your existence, then?
There are certain guidelines that place the body in a proper relation with the intellect, that allow the soul to achieve the greatest happiness.
Find the one that allows you to progress the furthest you can in that direction.
