That's another kicker - we change. (Many of us did well enough on wholesome low-fat fare - and much worse
- when we were in our 20s & 30s and constantly in motion...)
So true. In my early years, I never had to monitor what I ate. I was mostly vegetarian in those days. The occasional holiday meal with a turkey or ham or the rare summer pig roasting. I was lower carb starting in the mid 90s with the Zone diet (40C/30P/30F). I lost on that initially but couldn't keep it off, I went on it and off it for years, yoing-yoing up and down. Until I decided to give LCHF a go, I did Atkin's induction plan for foodies last July, and I don't plan on eating any other way again, Low carb Healthy Fats all the way now. Because bacon and fatty steaks contain healthy fats.
Switching to LC should join colonoscopies in the 50s welcome wagon!1 -

Really strict vegans do not eat cane sugar. Cane fields are burned before they cut the cane, because of the snakes that live in the fields, along with field mice, some small ground nesting birds etc. Remind her of this when she wants to eat items made with real cane sugar. Lots of it around and they are starting to label even soda pop with that.
I used to be a vegetarian, and I got a lot of crap from vegans who didn't like anyone using sugar or honey. So glad I don't hang out with that judgemental crowd anymore.
Sounds more like a Jain lifestyle... jainfoodie.com/jain-food-restrictions/

Omg! That's a horrible documentary! And people will cling to it as gospel!! I'm so glad that I know otherwise!1

I got through about 30 minutes of it as well. I kept saying: why is this getting so much attention on Facebook?? Why have 2 of my friends suddenly become vegan from this video????
I'm a VERY plant heavy eater and I couldn't believe the propaganda in this "documentary".2 -
My bestie recently became vegan partially because of this documentary. Hey if she likes how she eats now and feels great then that's awesome but I feel she's taking this film as fact. I wonder how much I'll be able to get through without getting a neck ache from shaking my head too much. She may have me watch the whole thing (I'll be watching it with her). Will report back when I've watched it.0

Heck, if you are head-over-heels about any diet (well, ok, maybe not the Tapeworm or Cigarette Diets...), it's bound to give you a boost - lower stress levels, lower cortisol, lower insulin.....0 -

Yeah, she reminds me a lot of a couple of Vegans on the main MFP boards. I thought that they were all insane until I stumbled across a few posts here. Now I realize that it's just the majority that are painfully dogmatic and misinformed, but not all.2 -
So many of my friends are still posting and raving about this. I keep starting to post rebuttals, but then realize that I'm not going to change their minds as they've clearly been drinking the kool-aid. So I bite my tongue, sit on my hands, and eat the way that I know is best for me. But MAN it's hard! They're so sucked in to that stupid mockumentary. :-(1

Show them the vegan nutritionist's professional tear-down of the film cited by @Gallowmere1984 above, and maybe they'll think twice. Ouch!1 -
People are actually buying What The Health as medical facts based on a phone call from a 70 year old guy that I had not heard from in three years.
It turns out the book How To Not Die by Michael Greger MD is on the same vein as What the Health yet it does name some quality supplements that are plant based that I use.
I am glad I have three years of reversing 40 years of health damage now eating LCHF before I was exposed to both of the above sources of info.1 -
Omg I have just watched this programme and horrified by what I watched - it is scary watching, people are going to take this information and think it's right3
