Hilldweller yep that's a great article, high in meats and salt . "Salt " I use very little . But it says low in veg and fruits. It's a balanced diet that keeps one healthy. No extremes . That's only making my point. By the way why don't you look at all sides. An article like this if read more then once would be looked upon as very biased. No healthy right minded person would eat a predomantly red meat diet. Leaving out vegetables fruits grains etc...
That's what's wrong with weak people with weak minds. When they can't win the argument they throw out stupid numbers and facts that only make them look more foolish.
A balanced diet of food groups ....and sorry pal your 10 snickers bars a day and protein trail bars aren't in that group will give you a long healthy life.
You don't know my background. I was saying what you're saying a few years ago.
Had a bodyfat under 10%, went to the gym at least once a day ---- I have a full gym in the house so one workout is usually there.
On the day of my big MI, my total cholesterol was 127.
I was eating a diet that most athletes follow. Lean meats, mostly poultry, lots of fat-free milk products. Lots of whole grains. Basically, if you couldn't look at the plate and tell what every ingredient was by sight, I didn't eat it.
Which led to a very slow long-term build-up of plaque and calcium on my blood vessel walls. Blood acidosis caused by the ph of the animal proteins.
If your body is damaged like mine was, the only remedy was to switch to a completely plant-based diet. It is fixing things for me.
If you're young and healthy, you'll avoid diseases of affluence if you eat minimal animal proteins, especially milk, and eat mostly whole foods, plants.
But most people don't need to become vegan ----- but it can and will benefit anybody's health.
This is me with Dorian Yates after a back workout. Did I look fat and lazy?
I was 265# back then --- can only carry 245 now. Not bad for 6 heart attacks and cancer...
