Carbs are _better_ than protein or fat at producing bodyfat. > Is eating lots of animal products bad for you? Yes. It's been shown again and again in large studies that humans do better on predominantly whole plant foods. In large, observational studies with innumerable co-founding factors, including lumping regular meat (a steak) in with highly processed meat (mcdonalds burger). I agree with the whole food part, and plants can be good, but exclusion of unprocessed meat is not proven to be any more healthy. You also self describe as vegetarian in your profile, and ketogenic diets often include meat. |
I was told that I would have trouble digesting meat again but to my surprise, it was much easier than usual, and I felt great the whole day (also actually felt full for like 6-8 hours after a meal).
Then gradually reintroducing foods one by one helped me pinpoint the culprits.
