Sriracha, beans (black, pinto, red, white), potatoes (yellow or sweet), apples, jalapenos, onions, mushrooms.

I've been eating a whole foods plant based diet for 5 years. I've lost over 100 pounds. I'm a 58 yo male, and my father was a butcher, so I grew up eating more meat than anyone. My dad also had his first heart surgery at age 55, and 3 since then. I don't want to end up like him, because he is barely living. The science is…

I've been a vegan 3 years now. Don't worry about protein. You don't need nearly as much as you think. That said, beans, rice, potatoes, and whole wheat are great sources. Look up potatostrong.com

When was the last time you heard of someone dying of low protein? How about heart disease and diabetes (more than half of all deaths in the U.S.)? Animal protein is packaged with saturated fat, linked to those diseases. That's something to worry about, not low protein.

I tend to eat Raw Till 4. I have eaten a whole foods plant based high carb low fat diet for about 3 years. It was the best decision for my health I have ever made. Raw till 4 is eating WFPB HCLF raw for breakfast and lunch, mostly fruit along with greens and veggies, as much as you care to eat, and then having a cooked…

Fruit.

I like the regular Clif Bars. They are close to 80/10/10.

Log what you're eating to evaluate how you're doing. The World Health Organization recommends that you get between 0.66 and 0.83 grams of protein per kilogram of your ideal body weight each day (non-pregnant adults). For me that works out to 10% of my calories from protein, based on a 2,200 calorie diet. I choose to eat…

I would suggest drinking more water/fluids, for one. Have you heard of a man named Dennis Burkitt? He discovered a type of lymphoma that is named after him. He was also the medical director in Uganda for many years. He has some interesting things to say about fiber. He was known in the 70's as the fiber man. You can watch…

Well if you believe what Dr Greger says at nutritionfacts.org, there are so many problems with ingesting any proteins from our own kingdom (animal) that it's just not worth it. Obtaining proteins from outside our kingdom (plants and fungus) is safer and healthier. Your other thought I don't agree with, regarding over…

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.

I'm hypothyroid also. I believe my way is best, just like you believe your way is best. Both of them are opinions. There are plenty of other threads that promote low carb, I'm not over there debating them. I'm on a topic considering a high carb vegan lifestyle.

I guess it does matter what the goal is. I never said you couldn't lose weight on a high fat diet. I can make a study whereby bacon is the new diet food. Take people on the SAD diet and switch them to 8 ounces of bacon per day and a multivitamin. Monitor them for 6 weeks. They will lose weight. Result: Bacon promotes…

Me: Watch Forks Over Knives. That's a professional presentation of my point of view. But oh, that's discounted at PETA propaganda so it doesn't count. Only if you agree with the people who pedal good news about their bad habits are you considered to have a valid point of view. Go to heartattackproof.com. I really don't…

How did I guess that this study doesn't meet your guidelines for "a good study". Let's just throw out all the results of the cohort studies. You know what - I got my own results. I can eat more food, satisfying my appetite, without gaining weight eating this way. I'm getting adequate protein, I have way more energy, and I…

No one has asserted that they tried it and reported their results. I'm assuming that this would be a line of argument to debate.

But look up "Meat consumption and prospective weight change in participants of the EPIC-PANACEA study". Results: Total meat consumption was positively associated with weight gain in men and women, in normal-weight and overweight subjects, and in smokers and nonsmokers. "We adjusted for initial BMI, physical activity,…

I'm not sure what the question is. Here's what I know: There's plenty of chatter on here about how my diet can't work, and that it won't work for them. And that the low carb high fat high protein style is what works. But the thing is, you haven't tried it. You are going by what you've read what you've heard. That's fine, I…

No, I said I have no idea how long a creative day is. So I know what the Bible says, but I don't know what was meant by "creative day" as to length of time. Man, I don't like talking about this stuff. I picked up on the fact that someone said "created". If someone believes in God and creation, the source of those beliefs,…

Like gorillas.

But look up "Meat consumption and prospective weight change in participants of the EPIC-PANACEA study".

"We adjusted for initial BMI, physical activity,…

I never made that assertion as you've qualified it.

The Bible doesn't assign an age to the Earth. People have interpreted the Bible to say that there is a number. That's their interpretation. The Bible says that God created heaven and earth. Science says that the universe had a beginning. There are several theories of that beginning. The Bible talks about a creative day.…

Dude, that's your opinion. Your opinion is that my statements are incorrect. I disagree with you. I'm stating my opinion. I believe the research that I've considered validates my point of view. You believe that the research you've considered validates that I'm wrong. So what? The difference is that you guys often feel that…

Well I guess it depends on your point of view. I should have said relatively higher fat. Forgive me.

Thanks man. What's interesting to me is that the people who are deriding my comments and assertions are going by what they've read or believe they've observed. I agree research is "king", but I value testing out the hypothesis myself. I've eaten Atkins, Paleo, SAD, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Cambridge, Medifast,…

Its interesting to me that you took "You move more" to mean "moving around", which isn't what I meant. Going for a 36 mile bike ride is moving more than an 18 mile bike ride. I've got 3 rides over 30 miles in the last 2 weeks. Last year I hadn't done any over 20 by this time (I keep a log). When I go out I feel compelled…

I'm not a vegan. I eat a vegan diet. She has talked about animal welfare. She wears a crop top to get views on youtube. Humans are wired that way. She gets 10 times the views of her boyfriend because of her looks. But she's hot. Rihanna does the same thing.
