Christ, we know eating red meat is bad for you. We know that a balanced diet favoring vegetables is good for you. Why are seemingly well educated and intelligent people on this awful diet?
- just_myles 8y agoIMO they're probably just being contrarian.
- b_tterc_p 8y agoEating a diet of meat probably does make you feel good. Especially in the morning and at lunch, the fats will keep you full all day so you’ll eat less garbage (e.g. Diet Coke as mentioned in the article). That’s not to say it won’t have some serious repercussions down the line, but I would be it does create a sort of local optimum that may be better than the average American artificial diet.
- meesterdude 8y ago> we know eating red meat is bad for you. We know that a balanced diet favoring vegetables is good for you What do we know, exactly? Because we've known lots of stuff that turns out to be bunk. And I am seeing increasing evidence that a one-size-fits-all diet isn't healthy - some people will need more or less of different things, or to abstain entirely from categories. Not saying this is a good idea - but It's hard to say to what degree it isn't.
- newnewpdro 8y agoIt's well understood that the brain performs differently in ketosis, it's why the diet is used to treat epilepsy. For some, maybe the cognitive advantage outweighs the potential health risks.
