haha ever have salad works veggie chili? that shit is amazing! I'm not looking to get into some crazy long debate. I just decided to pick up a book and incorporate it into my life. As for why to eat one pound of raw/cooked? basically the more you eat the more weight you lose but also take in a lot of disease fighting nutrients in the process.
So eat the foods for those specific nutrients. Some of them might be non-vegan.
all good man. Like I said, check out the book if you're already eating that life style. He references a bunch of studies, I just don't really care enough to dig them up.. He also mentioned eating more than 100g protein a day is unhealthy.. Totally mind fucking to even read that
not my calculations. I took that from the book. Like I said.. I haven't got around to verifying any of it. I was just curious if anyone else has read the book. Plus it got a little stale around here=P
A Tomato (according to Google) has 0.05 grams per Calorie (0.9g/18C).
Because...? Or do you just take words at face value and completely trust what they're saying?
And totally false. It really sounds like pseudo-scientific nonsense to me. If the things you have mentioned (like the protein content of ham and a tomato) are indicative of the entire book then it isn't worth your time to read.
holy smokes dude..I've said it 3 different times I haven't gotten around to verifying any of his info.
Well, I think you generally should be a bit more cautious with claims like that around people with the free time and motivation to fact check it. It makes it hard to take the rest of what you're saying seriously when you(Convo) read tomato = ham = brocolli and don't go "wtf?".
lol I'm not claiming anything.. I referenced the book. I don't fucking know what the protein content is in those 3. I specifically brought the book to this thread so people could give me feedback.. you're just being a bit over the top. Like i crapped on your meat eating world or something.
What we are saying is that if there are a few simple and easily testable claims in the book that are so obviously wrong, then it calls all of the other claims in the book greatly into question. It doesn't automatically mean the entire book is completely wrong, but you should have a hard time trusting it at all knowing what you know now.
pretty much why I came here.. I decided that the risk of starting to follow a plan like his was pretty low. I mean what could possibly happen by me eating a ton of veggies, fruits and some nuts and whole grains? I planned to do some research once I was finished the book. To be honest.. it sounds pretty logical to increase those things and limit meat,dairy and processed foods. At least that was my thinking of why I should start.
And you're getting valuable feedback. You obviously have very little common sense as to the protein content of everyday food nor must you even glance at a nutrition label once in a while. Don't get mad at me for pointing out bullshit. I care not whether you eat vegan. Do it for the right reasons though.
The plan is harmless enough assuming you get what you need, and limiting processed foods is always a good idea, as is eating lots of vegetables. However dairy is quite good for you, so is unprocessed meat. Just don't read a dumb book then through the baby out with the bathwater.
I'm not mad at all.. I never jumped in this thread and said I was some kind of expert.. I basically said, hey guys.. I'm reading this book, haven't verified anything but here is what it says... You just took that and made it into something more.. I'm not preaching dude.. stop being a dick as I had every intention of digging deeper after I read the book.
Then what was the point of referencing all the author's cited studies 4 times? You brought bullshit into the thread and got called on it. Some pretty glaring bullshit. Denaut is just being nice about it. The last thing this thread needs is more specious diets. I don't care if your diet happens to be the right thing to do, give me reasons, give me science.
