I personally wouldn't advocate for a vegetarian diet but with plenty of dairy it's fine. The irish peasantry got along famously well on almost exclusively milk and potatoes for a very long time, for example. Traditional indian "vegetarian" diet was loaded with dairy.
- s_baby 11y agoInsulin resistance is caused by leading a lifestyle where you are constantly spiking your insulin levels through diet, lifestyle, genetics, etc... Like any hormone or steroid your body develops a tolerance and you need to increase the dosage to have the same effect while also increasing the side effects. Everyone who eats carbs has some level of resistance not just "diseased already". A typical Irish or Russian diet without meat is fine by current norms but not optimal. Eating a veggie burger with fries and milk is not a great diet though.

- a8da6b0c91d 11y agoI'm a bit tired of your passive aggressive sniping. You post everywhere constantly and pretty much never make an interesting or insightful point. It's all either meta-sperging about HN, banal fluff write-ups of things you just googled, or passive agressive sniping and tut-tutting. Maybe go put on your anorak and watch some trains for a change. It'll do your mental health good.
