A diet lacking in fat and protein is often deadly.
Who said anything about a diet lacking fat and protein? The key is balance. I understand the need for EFAs.
What, exactly, are your credentials? How has fruit been modified? Are you going to support your claims or do you just make outrageous claims (like that you invented the question mark)?
It also seems like your facts are a little mixed up. According the pamphlet
Using the Food Guide Pyramid, the recommendations include sirloin steak and pork/vegetable stir fry. Doesn't sound like they're telling you to dump fat and protein, does it, Doctor?
So, have you ever
actually read about the food pyramid or are you simply repeating what your latest, favorite author (Atkins or Peskin) said about it?
Did you actually read my original post or were you just trying to score points?
Thus my troll comment.
Get informed.
Who said anything about lacking fat and protein?You did.
I'm dealing with this right now. And it sucks. But I've lost 10 pounds in almost two weeks. Just whole grains, fruits, vegetables, light dairy and occasional fats. Oh, and I'm rowing my butt off every morning.
I have seen the stupid pyramid. Look, I am as well or better read and informed as the next guy and I'm not the one whose trying to lose weight. Eat all the damned pasta and sugar you effing want.
Sorry I said anything to you. Don't bother to look anything up and especially don't bother to follow the link on post 35.
