kelpdiver 2 #51 July 1, 2010 Quote I'd bet that if you tried a whole food plant based diet for a month, your taste buds would mature and you would enjoy food even more. It's amazing that on my lifestyle, I can smell fruits and vegetables from across the room, and those who consume animal products need to put the vegetation to their noses to smell it. well, you have to be able to smell across the room - you run out of breath walking that far!

I have more energy and better health since I've adopted this lifestyle. Even Lawrocket has enjoyed better health. Interestingly, as I posted this morning on facebook, is the bathroom situation. When I was a girl, there was a saying for snooty people. "She/he thinks her shit doesn't stink." Well, this morning, after my morning routine in the loo, I can honestly hold my nose high in the air and state "My shit doesn't stink." It actually smelled really good. Kind of a fruity aroma. Must be all the stone fruit I've been eating this week. And the overall health benefits from going on a vegan diet are amazing. Contrary to popular belief, plants do have protein, and several are complete proteins. The top 30 foods on the ANDI scale are plants, with the top 13 being green plants. Eat a whole food, plant based diet, and be virtually free of a diseased state, including obesity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't help but think about the Southpark episode where Prius owners keep sniffing their own ass. And now I'm off to find some animal flesh and make stinky poo.

rhaig 0 #55 July 1, 2010 QuoteQuoteI keep wondering why people are happy that their food has no flavor. I recommend 2 weeks of deer hunting in Alabama, followed by a week in Texas to learn about brisket. I'll bet Californians would quit sucking on tofu and visit Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I'd bet that if you tried a whole food plant based diet for a month, your taste buds would mature and you would enjoy food even more. It's amazing that on my lifestyle, I can smell fruits and vegetables from across the room, and those who consume animal products need to put the vegetation to their noses to smell it. that's the holier than thou vegetarian attitude right there that turns so many people off to the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. You may not have meant it that way, but that's the way it came off.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't actually think you had DKA. The joke was that a bionic ability to smell fruit at great distances combined with thinking your shit smells like fruit could just be caused by smelling fruit constantly regardless of the presence of either of the above. Quote Eat a whole food plant based diet that's balanced and contains a reasonable number of calories, and obesity will shed and health will emerge. Whether the diet is strictly vegan or not is a personal preference. Exercising doesn't hurt either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loma Linda, a vegetarian community, has the oldest population in the USA. Simmer down - nobody's saying a vegan diet can't be healthy. The overriding point is to eat healthy food, not junk food. Regarding heart disease, there's scientific evidence in the other direction, as well (from a website discussing Syndrome X): "A 14-year study of more than 80,000 women by researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered that women with the highest protein intakes were 26 percent less likely to develop heart disease than those who ate the least protein (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999, vol. 70). Vegetarian sources of protein, such as beans, aren't good protein choices for those with Syndrome X because they raise blood sugar and insulin levels significantly higher than meat (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1997, vol. 66). If you prefer, you can follow a vegetarian version of the anti-X diet by emphasizing eggs, high-protein dairy foods such as cottage cheese, and tofu. Be sure to supplement with anti-X nutrients you might miss in a vegetarian diet, such as zinc and omega-3 fatty acids." Shame about that B12, thoughMike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

LOL Actually I am not surprised CO has the least amount of obese people. There are so many cool outdoorsy things to do there with fantastic weather most of the time. But 1 in 5 being obese is still pretty high. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
