shorthand

espouse

意味　(かたく)〈主義· 意見など〉を奉じる, 採用する, 支持する, …に加担する.

I’ve long espoused a fairly low-carb lifestyle for optimal health, but “low-carb” means different things to different people.

tedious

意味　(けなして)〈仕事· 状況などが〉（長時間続くし面白くないので）うんざりする [させる], 退屈な

What all these low-carb folks have in common is that they need to decide what to eat day in and day out. Thinking about food all the time can become tedious, especially when you’re trying out a new way of eating and don’t know what’s “allowed.” It’s tempting to sort foods into discrete categories based on macronutrients (carbs, fat, protein) and quality (“good” versus “bad” foods) to reduce decision fatigue.

わかるわ…何を食べていいか・悪いかをいちいち考えたくなくなるんだよ。こういうの苦にならない人が栄養士になれるんでしょうな。

emphasize

意味　〈人· 物が〉〈物· 事など〉を強調する, 重要視する

You’ll want to emphasize lower-carb vegetables if you’re restricting your total carb intake because you’re playing around with keto, for example. These are your above-ground, non-starchy varieties: leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, cucumbers, asparagus, peppers, and the like. However, root vegetables and tubers are also packed with nutrients and are lower-carb than most grain-based items.

「野菜は食べてよし！」だよねぇ。根菜類（にんじんとか）は炭水化物が多いから避けるべき～とか言うから面倒くさくなっちゃうんだよ。誤差誤差。

Mussel

意味　[C] （ムラサキ）イガイ, ムール貝.

Mussels, clams, oysters, and scallops each contain about half a gram of carbohydrate, depending on the size. Not much, but when have you ever eaten just one mussel? A can of smoked oysters contains somewhere around 8 grams of carbs—the same as six large strawberries or a cup of cubed watermelon.

貝類は苦手なんで…。

pesticide

意味　[U][C]殺虫剤, （害虫駆除の）農薬

The Primal stance on fruit has always been to prioritize in-season (and organic or pesticide-free when possible), but otherwise, feel free to consume fruit according to your preferences. Fruit can be a wonderful option for athletes who want to increase their carb intake during high-volume training and racing.

adamantly

意味　断固として, 頑固に

People are surprised to find that I’m not adamantly opposed to legumes. Going back to those questions I posed above, legumes are pretty decent sources of nutrients like folate, copper, and magnesium, among others. They do contain lectins and phytic acid, both of which are considered antinutrients, but any adverse effects are largely mitigated by soaking, sprouting, or pressure cooking legumes.

That said

意味　＝having said that それでもやはり, そうかと言って（前言を弱める内容を続ける前置きとして）

That said, I never count carbs myself unless I’m doing some sort of self-experiment. I also don’t go out of my way to limit carbs. Since I eat mostly meat and vegetables, feel fantastic, and am happy with my current body composition and fitness level, I don’t find it necessary.

こういう表現が難しい…TOEICでも苦手。多読で慣れるしかないけど。
