You can always depend on a bunch of stoners to argue about shit they don't even grasp. The ignorance in this thread is astounding. You guys keep arguing your dogma....
You guys restrict your diets so hardcore that they have to be the answer, its classic cognitive dissonance. Granted I think aksalas diet is a lot better(especially if its supplemented) than rukinds low carb bullshit.
Just a little warning for you both, my mom recently got a rare eye disease after following a raw vegan diet for 8 years, I convinced her to start eating cooked food/dairy(it wasn't easy due to her dogma) and the condition literally went away overnight. She now realizes how psycho her restrictive diet was. There are endless anecdotes of similar things happening to others on restrictive diets. If whatever doing is working that's good but don't ignore symptoms because you think your on the best diet ever.
I just wanted to reaffirm you my friend that you've done the right thing and deserve credit for your accomplishment(s).What really sucks is I started this thread because for the first time in my life I'm healthy...feel amazing and am losing weight at an incredible rate....and I no longer fear heart disease because I'll never have it...
And you had to troll it....
Seriously bro...you suck.
Go start your own thread to push your lifestyle....seriously....
Ru, if you offered us something more than just your flapping gums, you might be taken a little more seriously, irrespective of your age...... im done here
i give you the benefit of the doubt and reasearch what you have proposed.. you have not taken the time to read anything I have posted.
you are stuck in the mud man. like i said, i recomend about 5g of cubensis. that will surely open that mind up to different idea's.
I dont know why you have a problem with an idea that there could be more than 1 way to be healthy.
take it easy on that pumper
Really? You know them personally? I don't personally know of one single adult person who maintains a diet like that and even come close to laying the claim that they're the epitome of health and wellness. I work in a company of about 120 people and nobody, not even the kiddies around your age, can even come close to the level of health and fitness I'm in. And I owe most of my success to diet. And I've studied diet and nutrition in college and have helped many achieve their fitness/health goals over the yearsI personally know guys older than both of you that have been eating high fat diets for over 20 years and are in great health. Never have had heart problems or diabetes.
Are you serious?Can you believe a 24 year old is out smarting you??
Breast milk is 50 percent fat! lol come out how can you not see this..??
Who said that?? What most of the people here have been advocating is a BALANCED diet, not meat and fat-only, and not purely vegan.to say that meat is bad just blows my mind.. i cant even grasp that concept.. i try.. and i used too.
It's nearly 50% carbohydrates as well and its rich in MCFA which act somewhat like carbohydrates. I have no problem with your advocation of animal foods just your retarded fear of carbs.
Oh man, now you're going to force us to explain how infants and young children require a different diet than adults, and that our dietary needs change according to current physiology, age, fitness, etcetera?
Why does a pregnant woman need extra vitamins? I don't want to hear about how someone is raising their child to be so unhealthy, honestly. Please tell us that at the VERY least your friend is premasticating that meat for the child, as was the traditional method of feeding children without teeth foods. You *do* know, without Googling, what premastication is, yes? And I assume you know its purpose?
See, your initial premise, that we have always eaten this way (nothing but meat and fat) is specious. So, until you come off of that paradigm and see how incorrect that is, you won't see how wrong you are.
Actually, ignorant. You have presented neither archaeological/anthropological evidence for your statements, nor have you presented factual science, instead decrying the science as invalid. Speak with a DIETITIAN. That person is an expert on how the human body utilizes what's ingested, and can discuss with you in-depth what's right and what's wrong with your thinking.
I thought you were done with this thread.

Who the hell are you arguing this to? Me? My mother is diabetic, I was pre-diabetic...I personally know a thing or two about diabetes and I would never presume to believe that eating fat leads to diabetes. Kiddo....you need to drop the defensive posturing, capiche?Back then the doctor and nutritionist told him he got diabetes from eating FAT.. how the fuck does that even work? its impossible. its just made up garbage.
the evidence is there.. u just got to drop the ego and look.

Ru, how about you drum up a dietitian or something other than YouTubes and Wikis about people whose areas of expertise are *not* in human nutrition? You've offered up one person, and what he said doesn't jive with the crap you're putting out there.
Ill find you guys plenty of research if thats what you want.
Please do. And I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying I disagree with you.I do not fear carbs. I only believe fat is the biggest part of a healthy diet.
especially when your body makes carbs out of protein? you dont even need carbs, thats the idea.
and like i said i dont even care about what people eat.. just please stop saying I am wrong without proving me wrong.
Ill find you guys plenty of research if thats what you want.
I'll ask again...Who are you arguing this to?when that 77 year old was 12 the doctor told him diabetes was caused by fat.. that is what doctors used to believe.. and now its sugar that causes it.
my dad was a diabtetic and died.. my grandma and my grandpa also have it.. I think I know about it too. I am a kiddo lol I am 24 and have lived on my own since I was 16. I have been through more deaths than any 24 year old should ever have to go through because of poor diet and drugs.
I must have missed those links, yes. However, I personally am more interested in things like peer reviewed, published studies. Would those blogs provide links to actual data? Perusing them, they don't appear to be giving us the basis of their assessments and claims. They're simply making statements.I've posted a ton of info debunking aksalas low fat vegan non sense, it seems to have been ignored though. I'll post it again just for you, maybe you'll actually read it?

I have no problem with aksalas diet if it works for him but the same diet left me with many health complications so you can maybe understand where I'm coming from? Obviously there is a ton of genetic diversity at play, what might work for you isn't gonna necessarily work for me and my goals. I need animal vit A because my body doesn't convert beta carotene efficiently.
