Stuff like this is so dangerous. A lady at my job made a switch to a high protein, mostly meat diet and dropped dead of a heart attack a little over a year later. We watched her skin become pasty, sweating from a flight of stairs, then dropped dead on Monroe street right by The Art Institute. Recent research – reliable research – shows that for men, eating a high protein diet has the same effect on the heart as smoking. Seriously, for whatever reason – saving the animals, heart health, religious reasons – eating plant based is the ideal for great health. Eating high amounts of meat and protein will make you suffer later in life. We have all seen old people live long while eating meat, but they are the exception. For every one of them, there are THOUSANDS living in misery in nursing homes, consumed with osteoperosis, athlersclerosis, and dementia. I’ll listen to Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Novak, Dr. Barnard, and the like, all super athletic, intellectual men who don’t take thousands from the egg, dairy and meat industry to write bogus articles promoting ridiculous diets like the Paleo diet – promoted by fat and sick Dr. Cordain.

Seriously, educate yourselves. I have seen first hand the damage done from high protein meat diets. This article is a joke. Look in Asia. Look at the Shaolin monks. Look at others who eat balanced plant based diets. Look at them when they get OLD. As they say, the proof is in the pudding.

As for the commenter saying vegan diets are inadequate compared to plant based diets – that is a flat out lie. And a foolish one at that. Eating a high fat, high protein diet is proven to damage the arteries in the heart. Meat is also highly acidic. Our bodies have everything in common with only herbivores and literally NO similarities with carnivores or even omnivores. The science is there. Peace to you people. Make good choices. Eating like this fake article says to will only bring you misery and heart disease.

“It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.”

I don’t want to read this bullshit about vegan diets anymore. I’m not only living healthier, I am also making a moral choice by trying not to harm/kill anyone. This is what I find the most odd thing about this. I always ask myself why some people don’t seem to be empathic.

I saw another story about this way of eating and was looking for a way to lose weight. What I found was that on the 6th day, several health problems virtually disappeared. I’ve been eating this way for 3 months now and my health has improved so much it’s still hard for me to believe. No, I don’t eat a rib eye once a day, but I do limit my meals to meat only (mostly beef, often rib eye) and usually eat twice a day. People are flocking to this way of eating by the thousands. It’s simplistic, it works, it provides optimum health (even from cancer as evidenced by a recovered so-called terminal brain cancer patient). If eating this way makes me an oddity, I’ll wear the name proudly!
If this seems like some strange new fad diet, do a search for “Owlsley Stanley, zero carb.” He lived this way for 50 years until his untimely death in an auto accident.
