Not everyone in the public health field agrees with you, but I appreciate you are basing your point of view on that study.
Take a look at this guy: http://youtu.be/FX58PyQwrcI?t=6m1s
Another bro scientist I suppose.

Exhibit A: a research based article in a peer-reviewed journal.

Exhibit B: A you-tube video.





Tell me which is more likely to be legitimate information and which is probably bro-science ...


Le sigh. A bit more education needed for some people...

if you want any credibility, I'd suggest changing your display picture.

Seems legit.

brb rolling an alt account to talk mess.

What?
I just found it amusing how she acts all holier than thou when she looks like that.

Looks like what?

Headless? The photo isn't headless, MFP cropped it that way. You can see the full thing in my profile, which is quite open.

Chubby tummy? HA. That was a) my "before lifting photo" b) "average" body fat of ~27%. I'm real. I'm not photoshopped or fake. When that picture was taken, I'd carried and given birth to 4 children. No, I'm not going to look like a supermodel. Live with it.
FWIW, I had my labs done recently. Lipid profiles are golden.Sugar profiles and A1C are perfect. Liver and kidney functions are right where they should be. From eating meat. From eating animal-based fats. And from eating fruits and veggies and grains and a whole lot of other stuff (the "whole lot" is why I was trying to lower bf a bit ... which I did over the following 6 months).

In addition, how on earth does physical appearance have ANYTHING to do with understanding of the most basic principles of research methods? Do you want my qualifications there? I only have a couple of bachelor's degrees, so it's probably not too impressive. But at least I know the difference between a valid research article and an opinion piece, and which one is more likely to give reliable information. If being slightly educated and a bit annoyed at people's repeated refusal to understand analysis of "articles" is holier than thou, oh well.

Maybe I'd be more "believable" if my avatar was a picture of my stuffed bear. Or maybe my latest ultrasound picture?

I don't know about you guys but I love fruit and vegetables, not to mention carbs. I could eat rice every single day, I love it. Especially sticky rice.
Anyway – I started eating this way because I thought the idea of being able to eat as much sweet, juicy fruit as I wanted without needing to restrict and count calories as obsessively would be amazing.
I've had a short eating disorder a year ago and Freelee's videos helped me recover quickly – I wanted to heal my body asap so that I could eat this way. I recovered and gained all the weight needed in 1 month, instead of their "recommended" 2 months.
All my pimples disappeared, my skin is much clearer, and even though I haven't lost any weight (think I've gained some fat actually) then I feel much more confident and I love myself. I think that's what matters most – eat whatever you want. And I choose to eat fruits, veggies and carbs There's enough protein in fruits and vegetables as long as you get enough calories. I'm just reallllly lazy so I need to start working out a bit with this energy I have.
