If I eat 5 burgers a day and reduce it to 2 a day, I will lose weight. However, no amount of burgers is good.
For more than a decade I had been fasting intermittently. I ate one very huge meal everyday. Typical Indian meal with fair bit of non-veg included. I was not in the best health possible.
A year ago, I got rid of non-veg from my diet. Things improved a bit, but I wanted better results. One month ago, I went fully raw - only raw fruits and no vegetables. I lost many pounds and everybody notices, my sinus troubles have vanished, I feel and look good overall.
I eat more than ever, but am losing weight.
- Udik 8y agoOnly eat raw vegetables and you'll lose even more. Reason: they're mostly water anyway and less sugary that fruits, so less carbs. You can fill your belly with them and you'll get very little calories. Another possibility: only eat naturally blue foods. Or only eat foods beginning by 'K' (a different one each day of the week).
- wild_preference 8y agoI don’t eat anything that casts a shadow.
- Udik 8y agoBulletproof diet.

- msiyer 8y agoBurgers are terrible food. They are addictive and are loaded with empty calories. Edit: Downvoting me will not change facts.
- thebeefytaco 8y agoYou're still not explaining what specifically is unhealthy in a burger. The only thing I can think of is the bun which can be replaced with a lettuce wrap or salad bed.
- gamblor956 8y agoBurgers have between 20-40 grams of protein, from optimal sources of protein (i.e., beef). A serving or two of vegetables in the form of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Maybe vitamin D if mushrooms are included. Fiber, in the form of bread, and possible trace vitamins and minerals if using wheat bread. Doesn't sound at all like empty calories to me. Considering that most raw vegetables have poor bioavailability (so most of the nutrients you eat from raw foods don't get absorbed), I would posit that a good burger is healthier than 90% of raw food meals...And moreover, than you could simply add the raw food to a burger to make it instantly superior to any equivalent raw food meal of the same weight/mass or calorie count.
- msiyer 8y agoBread is bad. Refined wheat flour baked; full of acrylamide. Beef is as bad. And what about all the cheese? Vegetables are better, but still not the best as far as human digestive system is concerned. Look around you. If these things were so healthy, why is the population getting sicker by the day?
- gamblor956 8y agoIf you're just going to spread unsupported lies, I'm not going to keep this conversation going. People have been eating meat, bread, and vegetables for thousands of years without issue. If any of these were the problem, the human race would be dead by now. Hell, the Eskimos ate a diet almost entirely meat-based for hundreds of years. It wasn't until they were introduced to fruits that they began developing diseases like diabetes. Steve Jobs' health nose-dived once he switch to the fruitarian diet; research now shows that the fructose and glucose in fruits is in fact the number one preferred fuel source for cancer cells, which is why the current dietary advice is for cancer patients to go on low carb or ketogenic diets. The greatest athletes in history eat omnivorous diets; during his record-setting Olympics run, Michael Phelps ate thousands of calories of fast food each day. Few professional athletes are vegetarians, and no elite athletes are fruitarians. All of our most famous scientists, including Einstein and Hawking, ate balanced diets that included substantial amounts of meat. The evidence, and thousands of years of human history, speaks for itself.

- msiyer 8y agoI do not think so. Mahavira (Jainism), Buddha and countless other saints have preached the benefits of such diets for thousands of years in India.
