RE: 1 Week Into My Low Carbohydrate, High Protein Vegan Diet.. Lessons Learned & Food Ideas!

in #health • 6 years ago

Thanks for the links. The study pointed to by Dr. Garth Davis is interesting - I need some more time to look through that.

Regarding the issue of carbs vs. protein - I didn't do a very good job of explaining the logic being used here (partially because this is not my area of expertise).. I was passed this link for you to read that explains why a higher protein mix is beneficial to overall body composition: http://muscleandsportsscience.com/the-high-protein-diet/

I haven't watched the last video as the thought of Paul Joseph Watson and Vegan Gains going head to head is more like some kind of psychotic nightmare than I'd like to get involved in right now.. LOL. But I might come back to it when I have more time. ;)

    You could also just check out this meta-analysis instead. Anyway, regarding the article you linked to:

    "A high protein diet seems to have a much more satiating effect than a diet rich in fat, and significantly more than one rich in carbohydrates (5,12)."

    "That means of every gram protein you eat, 20-30% is immediately metabolized, and doesn’t really count toward the caloric value based on REE."

    But as the article points out earlier: "Our sedentary society has lived on a high carb diet for well in excess of 2000 years and never suffered obesity." So why risk getting, for example, cancer, and why miss out on all the benefits of eating a (proper) high-carb diet when it doesn't cause obesity? ;)
