    I personally think that sugar (carb) is much worse for you than fat. I've also read that ketoses isn't bad for you and it's how we as humans have survived thousands of years before the industrial revolution.

    Why must we always be telling others what to eat?

    I mean if those people want to physically harm themselves through their diets, then so be it.

    Eating a high carb, low fat, vegan/vegetarian (low dairy) diet in no way guarantees you won't be sick or overweight or can't live life to the fullest.

    https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2009nl/mar/passionate.htm -- Plant carbs do not cause you to gain excess weight

    If that were even remotely true, then I wouldn't know any fat/overweight/obese vegans.


    But unfortunately, I know many obese people of those lifestyles.

    Then they're lying and are eating things they aren't saying

    So you're saying that if I ate 5,000 calories of vegetables per day, I wouldn't gain weight? Even though my TDEE is around 2,000 calories per day?

    Go for it! I bet you'll feel alot better!

    No, I wouldn't feel better. I would be obese.

    My bad, eating a ton of veggies is so bad for you! Go back to eating your saturated fatty foods!

    Do you have a peer reviewed study that states you can eat in a caloric surplus and not gain weight?

    Also, how do all of these non-HCLF people lose weight if we're all doomed to be fat forever?

    You can lose weight on any diet as long as you have a calorie deficit.

    And you can be healthy on any diet.



    If that wasn't true, than I would question how my family has lived into their upper 90's (and still kicking) on a meat and potatoes diet.

    People have lost weight on a twinkies diet. Calorie deficit is what they did though, it doesn't have to be healthy.

    The explain how my family commonly lives into their 90's (late 90's that is) on a very heavy meat based diet?
    I dare anyone try to pry the cheeseburger out of my 93 yr old mom's hands. :)

    Ya, I am now doing the cooking for my fiance's 89 yo mother and asked her what she used to like to cook. It was all based around big slabs of red meat. Her husband lived to age 94.

    Humans have never had a ketogenic diet for long periods from what I know.

    Man, people will say anything to stand by their fats and meats. Read up on Dr. McDougall's studies and what he found with meat, dairy, and eggs. Higher Cholesterol will literally give you a higher chance in being diagnosed with heart disease. Meat, dairy, and eggs have high cholesterol, its facts.

    We certainly didn't typically live in ketosis before agriculture (which itself was long before the industrial revolution). Yes, hunting was important, but so was foraging - tubers such as yams, etc. would play a large role in ancient diets, and they are high carb.

    There are studies which show how bad sugar is for you. This is why I'm a believer in a balanced diet.

    Everyone that thinks a low-carb is good for you and will work in the long-term is wrong. You're pushing your bodies into an ill state called Ketosis. Your body runs off of carbs, I eat 600g of carbs a day with under 40g of protein and 20g of fats. This uninformative and lieing industry is telling us that meat, dairy, and eggs are good for us? That stuff is loaded with cholesterol and will end up hurting you in the long run. Eat a high carb, low fat, vegan/vegetarian (low dairy) diet and live life to the fullest.

    I represent a conglomerate of evil hedge fund managers that only invest in evil, lying industries. Now that big oil is tanking, can you tell me more about how to buy into the fitness and nutrition industry?
