All of these can easily fit into a healthy diet. I consulted so many doctors and specialists before finding out that the foods I was eating were causing these symptoms. Noto et al, 2013. Just wanted to say thanks for this response! There's some truth in his statement in that literally, if you eat an excess of calories and a moderate of them are fat, your body will do the most efficient thing and convert the dietary fat to adipose tissue, often without altering the structure of the fat you eat. IMO, the "fat you eat is the fat you wear" quote is for Dr. McDougall to sell his books and diet programs. Yes supplements are overhyped but protein is not. American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 299(5), pp.E808-E815. Incredible how different your take was to the others in this thread. If someone cuts off my hand, and someone else only stabs me, does not mean that one is an enemy and the other is a good friend, it means they are both enemies. Should we trust Mercola and Chris Kresser or institutes like the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association? They also advocate for a decrease in fish consumption (and all meat, eggs (says dietary cholesterol == bad), and dairy in general). Given its nature, there's practically no long term randomized studies in other humans, but plenty in animals, where both high fat and keto diets efficiently induce insulin resistance and liver pathologies. On a side note, protein has a negligible contribution to fat gain. I never thought about food the way I feel about it now. As is stated in the documentary “You will never have a protein deficiency in any diet that meets the sufficient amount of calories.”. Significant positive correlations between the relative intake of dietary PUFA and the relative content of adipose tissue n6 and/ or n3 or total PUFA have been noted. Nutrition is so conflicting. Contrast the recommendations of r/gainit and r/loseit and you shall realize that high carb intake is more anabolic, either for building muscle or fat, whereas low carb is superior for improving fat metabolism and losing body fat, at the cost of less strength for bodybuilding, but there are workarounds for that. The more our society consumes animal products the more cancer we get because animal protein causes an increases free radicals and estrogen levels in our bodies creating an increased risk of cancer. This is why they apply bulking and cutting cycles. Sure, there are studies that prove some of what was said (like omega 3). I just finished watching "Food Choices" and I thought it was a very persuasive documentary on why we should make a switch to a plant-based diet. PLoS One, 8(1), p.e55030. Carbohydrates are still trash, even if sugar is much worse. A summary report of the review is available from the Food Standards Agency Library on 020 7276 8181/8182 or e-mail: library&info@foodstandards. How do you even restrict omega 6 on a plant based diet when plants are rife with omega 6 and poor in omega 3? Everyone seems to have their own beliefs. Huang et al, 2012. Similarly, you can not make up for high omega 6 intake by excessive omega 3 consumption, because omega 6 byproducts will be still there, and excessive omega 3 increases the risk of bleeding. -Plant based diet > all others, meat in all cases is overhyped, essentially. Hall et al, 2015. Cell metabolism, 19(3), pp.407-417. A subreddit for the discussion of nutrition science. Humans, over the millennia, have adapted to a wide variety of diets, meat based and plant based, but whatever their diet was, it was always whole foods, low in simple carbs, high in nutrient density. Add Comment. Fish is healthy, rich source of omega 3 and phospholipids, pescetarians have much better health outcomes than vegetarians and especially vegans. It doesn't delve as much into the inhumane treatment of animals and factory farming as Food Choices does. I think the director made a very conscious decision to call it plant-based vs vegan diet because of the connotations of veganism and veganism is about more than just diet, while this documentary is only focusing on food. Food Choices | Documentary Review. Dietary cholesterol is associated with increased serum cholesterol in all but very few studies. With my health, it was no different. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. One thing stuck out for me, they complained that people pushing low carb/paleo diets involve the opinion of people who weren't medically/scientifically qualified (be it in documentaries or books)...but this film did the exact same thing.
