Thanks brother! This is something that I saw a lot with vegetarians, that they'd eat a ton of fast carbs and milk products. And the same with vegans. Basically, the farther away you get from normal, unprocessed foods, the more likely you are to gain weight. If I ate white rice, deep fried...
True about the 6 pack, but I've never experienced it before eating primarily plant-based, is all.
As for the last point about calories, what I say is true for me. From what the research says, it has to do with how the fats, sugars and carbs are packaged. They're bound to fiber, in particular...
Good point! I've heard the same things, but there is still just so much conjecture when it comes to neurology and brain development that I maintain a healthy skepticism. Either way, there are many animals who eat lots of meats and fats that do not have the brain capacity that we do, so it'd like...
I know I mentioned this already, but of course we're made to be able to eat it, but the little I know of omnivores, and particularly primate omnivores, is that eating meat is for survival. Inuits used to catch a seal, cut it open, and gorge themselves on the raw intestines before cooking the...
I appreciate you explaining your scepticism. To be honest, I had no clue this simple poll would blow up as it did. I'm as surprised as you. As for my motives in starting off with this well, that's stated in my introduction in the intro thread.
I mentioned it with a bunch of other stuff, but you're right that it's a big one, anywhere Coca Cola has been. Heck, even in a tiny village out in the middle of the Yucatan, the only electricity was for a fridge in a small shop smaller than a bedroom. Know what they had in it? Coke...
Very nice! I stand fully corrected. I was thinking more like the dinosaurs as well, but I guess we don't have a live one to see for sure. Their eyes might have been just like this eagle here. (I'm no biologist, but I love learning about the natural world, so I appreciate it)
Yup, why can't the insulin enter the cell receptors? It's the fats, the lipids that block them, not sugars that make them too sticky . Get that fat outta your veins first, then you'll see the difference.
Hey man, it's a free country! If I had an agenda (besides wanting everyone the best chance at seeing their great-grandchildren) and wanted to "get" people, then wouldn't I want to make whatever I'm saying as pleasant and in threatening as possible? (Like saying "research shows that chocolate...
Good questions! It's actually BECAUSE of these same things that I learned 1) keep animals and unwashed human hands the hell away from your vegetables and 2) that we are omnivores, but primate omnivores (primates and omnivores in general rarely eat meat, yet we eat it daily, now, and have quite a...
Like I said, "I've heard" and "I can't verify". That's more honesty than I've heard others claiming to be true on this forum, brother! Most people just share anecdotes on here, sometimes wild sounding ones, and I'm not judging, I just ask more questions to learn more.
