Are you a Type 2, adult onset? Read Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes without Drugs It's on Amazon.

you're right. its still about 80/10/10. I actually eat a mixed raw / cooked diet. Fruit for breakfast, fruit and salad for lunch, and a cooked dinner. Usually rice or potatoes or corn or beans or pasta, all seasoned with cooked veggies. My macros usually work out to be 78-80 carbs, 10-11 protein, and 10-11 fat on the week.…

OK man seriously. Your maintenance is 2,300 a day. What happens if you get more? You start gaining? If you seriously carb up, one of the first things that happen is you have way more energy. You move more. Exercise becomes almost compulsive. You don't think your metabolism can change? Bear in mind I wasn't talking net…

Whoops I got the scripture wrong, it is verses 29,30. 29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that…

Not just me. There's a whole community of people out there that will tell you that. That's what I'm experiencing. Look up YouTubers: Freelee the banana girl, durianriders, rice and raw, fit on raw, Ian Cramer, PlantbasedAthlete, Food N Sport, fullyrawchristina, etc., etc. EDIT: and 40belowfruity. Same message. 2,500 min…

Wow really? And what does FTFY mean?

I always think of Free Willy, LOL.

IKR! I'm passionate about my point of view. But you probably already figured that out. You're smart that way.

So you believe in creation? Nice, so do I. Gen 1:28,29 God created humans. Then he gave them their diet. Plants. Then Nimrod, the mighty hunter in opposition to God, came along. So Adam and Eve in the Garden, what did they eat on day one? You think they went and killed a cow for dinner? Or did they enjoy a juicy mango? Or…

Not exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying that if you eat an 80/10/10 mostly raw high carb low fat vegan diet you can eat as much as you care to, around 3,000 calories minimum for guys, and eventually you will attain your best body weight. You may even gain weight for a while. But eventually people stop with the diet roller…

80/10/10 is carbs/protein/and fat. Like you said. If you're eating fish, chicken, and seafood you have atherosclerosis. Look up the study "The pediatric aspects of atherosclerosis" which I quote: "Almost all persons have aortic fatty streaks by age 10". Also from the Bogalusa heart study: "Relation of serum lipoprotein…

Whatever you think. But when I climb mountains on skis and bikes, I like Deadmau5 in my ears at 135 bpm. It helps me keep my rhythm. EDM is better for workouts than The Eagles. Just saying.

Haha, A column entitled "The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease" appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Saturday, May 3. To spare you any guessing about where this is headed, I'll tell you right away: The column itself was pretty darn questionable. The article starts off very dubiously when the…

Crazy right?!?

That's cool. That's the same thing my Doctor said to me last month. My total Chol was 129, LDL was 53, HDL was 54. 50% of all Americans die of heart disease. When plant eating cultures begin eating the SAD diet, they have the same problems. We don't have to be victims of genetics.

It's good to restrict (or eliminate) cholesterol and saturated fat. That's proven science.

Haha that's funny! Now that you mention it, me too. It's Deadmau5.

Definitely. Thank you. Just not calorie restricting. Like I said.

She is quite the looker, that's for sure.

I appreciate your concern. YouTube search Dr. Ellsworth Waretham. He's 98 years young. It's worth listening to, seriously. But about the 10% protein. The beauty of it is I'm not cutting down on protein. Eating 3,000 calories per day, I get about 80 grams of protein per day. The same amount when I was calorie restricting on…

I eat a ton of pasta marinara. I have 2 grandparents who ate well and lived to 99 and 96. The other 2 died of heart disease. None of them ate much meat before the mid 1950's. People couldn't afford it back then. Read Dr. Esselstyn's book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease and get back to me. My dad had his first heart…

Well I've been vegan for 2 years. Before I was high fat, about 20-25%. Around 10% has been much better for me. Much more satisfying because I no longer have to calorie restrict.

You don't have to calorie restrict. Eat all you care to. If you can put down 5-7,000 per day consistently, you're a better man/woman than I. What's a Rigger? I used to be a roughneck on a drilling rig in North Dakota, is it like that?

I don't take advice from 20-30 year old guys who have abs. I was you 20 years ago dude. I'm more interested in thriving for another 30 years. I listen to the 70-80 year old guys: T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, John McDougall, Ellsworth Wareham. At least they are Doctors who've authored research papers.

Haha her diet is more aligned with what's best for humans than the SAD standard American diet that's for sure. I diet that causes heart disease is disordered eating if you ask me. I've went from fat on SAD to obese on Paleo to thin on starvation to healthy on vegan to thriving on 80/10/10. An 80/10/10 diet mostly of fruit,…

I have been eating 80/10/10 for at least 6 months now, and recently started adding in calories. I eat about 3,000 per day; I'm a 55 year old male. I ride my bike about 75-100 miles (4-6 hours) per week on average. As Freelee says carbs don't make you fat. It's a big fallacy. Fat makes you fat. Animal products make you fat.…

Any whole fresh fruit. Citrus in particular is low in calories.

You haven't addressed the health issue. Eggs are one of the worst food choices out there! You seem to have heard and understand the health implications of animal products; eggs are just about the worst! Cheese being the worst, then eggs. Lean meat, especially fish, is not nearly as unhealthy as eggs are. I assume you don't…

Halve the avocado with the skin. Separate the halves, and set aside the half that the pit adhered to. Cut the other half into enough thin slices for your sandwich and peel off the skin from each slice. Any amount that you don't intend to use put back with the pit into a plastic bag and save for the future in the…

I eat a vegan diet for health reasons. For me, it's the saturated fat and cholesterol in eggs that prevent me from eating them. Eggs are not safe or healthy. Search eggs on nutritionfacts.org.
