How are you determining it to be "significantly better from a health perspective"? What is your blood pressure? How do you know you don't have elevated low-dens

How are you determining it to be "significantly better from a health perspective"? What is your blood pressure? How do you know you don't have elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol serum? What are you eating in a high carb diet - is it whole plant-based foods, or refined and processed junk? Portion size is not the culprit; can you find a case study of an overweight plant-based vegan who does not portion control?
- gorena 11y agoAnyone who eats above their TDEE for an extended period will become obese, which is trivially possible on a vegan diet of french fries topped with sugar and olive oil. What does this have to do with a vegan diet? Since you're asking personal medical questions, my blood pressure/blood tests are all nominal, my RHR is ~55, and I eat a high-protein vegetarian diet, with the primary protein sources being skim greek yogurt, whey powder, eggs, tofu, edamame, and seitan. Besides that I mostly eat vegetables and noodles.
- noondip 11y agoThat's why I've said "plant-based vegan diet" and not "vegan diet of french fries topped with sugar and olive oil". Please post the actual numbers, as "nominal" levels in a society where it is normal to die from cardiovascular disease, for example, are not a good representation of optimal health.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> Anyone who eats above their TDEE for an extended period will become obese Well, they'll gain weight; whether that's muscle or fat -- and thus whether it contributes to obesity by the more significant adiposity-based standards rather than the less-meaningful BMI-based standards -- depends on other factors than whether they are consuming more calories than their TDEE.
- gorena 11y agoSorry, you're totally correct - this assumes someone that isn't performing strength-based exercise!
