I just finish watching ,"Forks over Knives" and I must say , lots of interesting things on there, especially the part on Protein!! All meat protein are bad for you! Even chicken and turkey , according to the show. My question is,are there anybody on here on this Plant base diet? And how did you lean off all meat ?

You believe that? It's a show. It's not science.0 -
Better jump in a time machine and warn all our hominin ancestors not to eat meat then. Probably best to start with Australopithecus sediba, because they seem to be the species that perfected the art of making simple stone tools to smash bones to get brains and marrow to eat, and this behaviour seems to have been what led our ancestors on the evolutionary trajectory that led to the genus Homo and ultimately to Homo sapiens. So if we warn them about the dangers of meat eating, they'll stop eating it and humans will never evolve and no-one will have to worry about whether meat protein is bad for humans or not because humans won't exist.0

Dunno. I watched Inside: Chipotle on Netflix and now that's all I eat. Good thing I didn't watch the show you watched first, or I'd be miserable.0

I'm on a plant based diet. I just like to feed the plants to animals and then eat the animals. It's still plant based and plenty healthy.
Seriously, I'd avoid trying to get factual diet information from severely biased documentaries.
Oh. If you want science, here read a study:

With all diets you take some leave some. And find what is best for yourself. You lost 30 lbs sounds like your doing something right. Find what works for you.
See you lighter

Given that all species of great ape (yes even gorillas) eat animal protein, and humans, chimps and bonobos hunt and eat mammals, and human evolution is marked by a steady increase in the size of animals hunted, to the point that until recently palaeoanthropologists thought neanderthals were carnivores rather than omnivores (though recent evidence proves they ate plant foods too, not just huge animals like woolly mammoths, therefore they too are omnivores), I think it's highly unlikely that animal protein is bad for humans.
ETA: the standard american diet is lacking in vitamins, minerals and fibre, and tends to provide an excess of fat and carbohydrate.... eating more vegetables and fruits and less high carb high fat food like pizza would go a long way to addressing this imbalance. Note that I said less, not none, because a lot of people tend to swing from one extreme to the other, rather than trying to find a happy medium where they can enjoy all the foods they want in sensible portion sizes and get all the nutrition they need, rather than going from the SAD to some of these crazy extreme diets that have long lists of foods that should never be eaten.0 -

Things like this is what gives us Vegans a bad name. Going onto a vegan diet is no panacia for health (I became a 333 pound morbidly Obese Vegan). Nutritionally all meat protein is not bad for you that's just silly. You can have bad Vegan diets the same way you can have good one's containing meat and dairy. Go onto a vegan diet if you wish as you will do a lot for the environment and for animals but don't expect it to be some miracle health diet.I just finish watching ,"Forks over Knives" and I must say , lots of interesting things on there, especially the part on Protein!!

technically when you butcher something and cut meat out of it, it is "processed" …
I think you are overreacting ….eat a reasonable portion of meat, chicken, steak, vegetables, fruits, etc and you will be fine...0 -

I don't think of when a butcher chops a chunk of beef off a cow as that being processed, that is just a peice of raw meat. I think it's processed when it's turned into things like sausage.. even then I'm not certain it's bad if done say how they would in Italy on a farm.....I think it's just all the additives/preservatives/fillers we get in USA or Australia etc.. in a commercial sausage that makes it "processed".0

Like "Hot Dogs"?? lol0

Please tell me what these programmes are called that are on Netflix as I have that, but really could do with some help, only just joined My Fitness Pal0

Hey, your just a science geek, so you don't count, we want propaganda, because that's what fuels the diet industry, not science, everyone knows that.:bigsmile:Better jump in a time machine and warn all our hominin ancestors not to eat meat then.

They say 'you are what you eat' so if an animals eats vegetables then it is a vegetable ... Or as my Dad says 'if we weren't meant to eat animals God wouldn't have made them out of meat'0

Those types of shows on Netflix are great for entertainment purposes but I've yet to see one that uses credible scientific studies to back them up (except The China Study - they love that even though it's been highly discredited for lack of control measures). Don't base your diet/health choices off of television shows - their main goal will always be viewer figures and money, not your physical well-being0

Get the book Eat to Live by Joel Furman, It will change your way of looking at food. Sometimes meat makes me gag, I never was a big meat eater but now I really could care less. I focus on clean eating as much as possible but I know you can't be 100% clean unless you grow your own.
Anyway I do feel healthier and thank god I only take a multi vit and cal.
I think that is darn good concidering all the medications that are easily passed out now.
Good luck, give clean eating a try. I bet you will be amazed!
