I added "color" to the nutrition industry issue of what is better, plant or animal protein. Yes, there are two camps here---two schools of thought. Most top athletes are meat eaters, but yes, you can participate in most sports, and do well as a vegan. Not likely in bodybuilding, powerlifting, or even as a Tour de France rider ( when you need over 5000 calories per day, plant bulk and other issues come into play, making it next to impossible for tour riders to reach their protein and caloric needs by plant sources. But lets stop this arguement about whether a vegan diet is good or bad----this issue was supposed to be about weight loss, and dietary solutions---my making a crack about vegan diets has sidetracked the whole issue, and when militant vegans respond back to me, righteously indignant about the "blasphemy" I have uttered about their beloved plant protein, and insult me in response, this just turns into a stupid war that will serve little purpose. If Walt and the other Militant Vegans can drop this protein source issue, I will too. And then we can get back to the fitness issue again, as opposed to escalating this to a kickboxing match ---which you already know I'll win anyway :-) Or do we start argueing about kickboxing now ?? :-) Regards, Dan Volker >thus proving only that this person knows nothing about nutrition. > >protein is protein. >the difference is the fat and all the OTHER crap that comes along WITH >animal products. > >Dean Ornish has proved this thoroughly (as well as scores of others) >a pplant based, animal product free diet with 10% or less of its calories >from fat is PROVEN to reverse heart disease or prevent it as well as >encourage healthy weight loss. >PROVEN being the operative word > >the "need" for animal protein harkens back to a primitive belief that >eating an aniumal gives you its strentgh. > >i'd LOVE to see the double blind, placebo contrlled study that shows your >genius that animal protein is in ANY way healthier than plant protein for >human nutrition. > >of course if it's only his OPINION....then let's not confuse it with facts. > > > >-- >Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. >Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'. > -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
