No offense taken, I hear what you're saying quite frequently. Regarding the 2015 DGAC - the report did no original research to exonerate cholesterol, but rather deferred to a 2014 report by the American Heart Association, which has a f

Thanks - I wasn't aware of such diets, and I'm glad to hear people are eating their greens regardless of which diet they follow. However, you're incorrect to assume adding meats and dairy products - even so-called "lean&

You've basically nailed it - the evidence is anecdotal and, coming from a keto echo-chamber, is obviously subject to confirmation bias. Therefore, these findings cannot be trusted as statistically significant. By the same measure, we c

Why be flippant? I've simply cited resources which may be relevant to your interests. Do you have a problem with the works, or any evidence to the contrary which I may examine?

Please check my related comment below about adjusting taste preferences. While it's true a greater amount of non-animal foods are necessary on account of them being generally less calorically dense (while at the same time being more nu

The incredible thing is, our tastes physically change in just a matter of several weeks. You're encouraged to try healthy eating as an experiment for just three weeks - I think you may change your mind on consuming unhealthy foods. &gt

Removing fat and alcohol would do you much more good, if calories are your primary concern - Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories Alcohol: 1 gram = 7 calories Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories

There's nothing wrong with starch (a complex carbohydrate of plant origin), nor its metabolization into sugar in the body. After all - sugar is the body's preferred energy source. A plain baked or boiled potato, especially sweet p

One good reason to avoid "diet" soda is they contain artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, which encourage sugar craving and sugar dependence - the opposite effect desired by the parent. Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.

There isn't any need to villainize carbohydrates. In their unadulterated form, derived from whole plant-based foods, it's perfectly reasonable to consume the majority of calories from "carbs". The trouble comes when thes

Is it really so ridiculous to think for-profit groups care not for interests of my health? The evidence was simply unconvincing to me - mostly cohort and case control studies with small sample sizes, done by researchers I have never heard o

I propose the following - nutrition is only perceived to be "fiercely debated" because of research with conflict of interest. Could you cite any examples of purportedly biased "low-protein" researched funded by that grou

Considering every whole plant food is a complete protein source, a diet consisting of only tofu is impractical and unpalatable, which is why you'll unlikely find such a study.
