You know, I’ve tried many different diets since I turned about 40 and I’ve had plenty of health problem over the last few years. So when my wife’s dr asked her to read DR Neal Barnard’s Reversing Diabetes. She lost 35 lbs and is off her meds. I’ve been eating this way for a while and i like it. I tried Atkins just before this and got sick of eating that way. I realize that most people will be resistant to this idea because of cultural programing. But too much protein is what is making us fat and sick. I’ve been around for 65 years now and I am appalled at the number of fat people I see walking around who are still quite young. Calorie dense foods are killing us. Animal products make you acidic. It may take decades to kick in but it will make you sick and kill you.

We should probably eat less meat, but not eating any meat is not happening

And none of what you said is at all anything other than blah blah blah...I tried something and it works for me.

Humans are OMNIVORES. Moderation in all things. You do not describe your diet prior. As far as I can tell you are pushing your version of the local fad. Jim cixx would agree with you I am sure.....but he can’t

And I am older than you (and I have a long lived family history) and am in great health. Be appalled all you want. The majority of those fatties are not doing anything other than eating a ton of grains and cheeses and nonsense food.

I’m 76, been eating meat potatoes and gravy all my life and weigh the same and can still wear the suit I graduated from high school in and don’t get sick and have never had the flu!

That one came all the way from the elbow. Sounds like you rewrote The Krebs Cycle. I bet you get a Nobel Prize for that.

There are essential fats, essential proteins, essential minerals, but there is no such animal as an essential carbohydrate.

No, sorry, the less protein I eat, the fatter and sicker I get.
