    I donated blood and they said they had to do tests on me because the last time I had very oily blood it had to be discarded. I was scared of how my tests came out, I ate 3-4 meals a day with meat every time. I decided to try veganism and did it for 4 months or so. The results of the tests afterwards were amazing, at the gym I felt that at the age of 20, I had no headaches at all, although I had often before. I stopped because I didn't know I had an irritable bowel syndrome since I was a kid and I had cramps from to much smothies I think. I can't wait for January to start again. What shocked me was that at that time I was no longer obsessed with food, I ate what I could find in the fridge. Now if I eat one meal I already think about what I will eat at the next one.
    I hope google translate did its job well

    The vegan communities did fantastic jobs in alluring consumers away from meat consumption. I turned a vegetarian, and my diet consists of the consumption of variety of protein sources including complete protein sources such as buckwheat grains and buckwheat noodles mixed with bean salads. I feel like I am in the Garddn of Eden. My depression went away, and at the age of 56, I run 16 to 20 miles a week, and my speed increased since I turned mostly to the plant based protein.

    Here's my research. I'm a 52 year old plant based vegan who is making consistent strength gains at the gym. I'm losing body fat while still getting stronger. Yesterday for example, I managed to keep my calories under my maintenance while exceeding my daily protein need. And I did this using only chickpea spaghetti, plant based meatballs and plant based ground beef. To add to that, 240 of the calories came from hempseed oil that I threw in for flavor, which I didn't even need. Spare me the BS about needing animal products to get stronger or do a body recomposition.

    To add to the discussion about iron: There is also mechanism for the absorbtion of iron from plant ferritin that was discovered about 10 years ago. It seems to be as efficient as iron absorbtion from heme iron (especially from legumes). Therefore legumes and meat are on equal footing in this regard.

    To me the biggest myth is that a vegan diet is automatically healthful. I've watched enough vegan TH-camrs to know that there are many vegans who load up on oily, sugary, processed food and eat no legumes and barely any vegetables. I see that the doctor has several copies of Dr. Greger's, "How Not To Die." on his shelf. I wish Dr. Nagra had taken the time to differentiate between a healthful WFPB diet and a junk food vegan diet. Even Dr. Greger has said that being vegan is not automatically health promoting.

    Talking about fractures with BMI the probable cause is heavier people move less and more slowly, someone weighing 500 pounds moves between the kitchen, bed and toilet/bathroom only. Someone weighing 150 pounds of average height is out and about, they are more likely to be killed in car accidents too.

    I will say this, although it’s anecdotal;
    About a year after I became a vegan, (just last year) I fractured my 5th metatarsal in my right foot (Jones Fracture) while playing basketball. I’m 30 and in my entire life I’ve never broken a bone until that point. Having said that, across the board in every other area, I felt healthier, lighter, safer, cleaner, happier, and more clear.

      @RichS.73yroldbodybuilder 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Overweight people are getting weight-bearing exercise every time they move or walk around. Older ladies who are very thin have fractures all the time because they never ever get any kind of weight-bearing exercise. Although supplementation for frail bones can sometimes help, weight-bearing exercises, even walking is better in the long run. Do some kind of weight lifting exercise.

    animal protein does not have any known toxins that were generated by the host. Plants use toxins to defend themselves from being over eaten or eaten at all. Looking at seeds they are covered with another food source for the eater so the actual seed is not digested, avocado is high in histamine more than likelly so your GI does not keep it inside long enough to get fully digested, eat only animal flesh and you will see your GI keep the protein inside longer and it gets fully digested, there are carnitine transporters in the human stomach , plants do not offer carnatine
