Outstanding!
How does a high carb vegan diet compare?
It’d be wonderful if you could post it to this specific video on nutritionfacts. org. This way more people benefit from the response, and I can actually provide you with links (which I can’t do on Youtube). Thanks!
The Fung study is carefully controlled and as good as nutrition research gets. All of your biomarkers are second-tier. Low carb is never able to lower LDL, which is widely considered the best biomarker for heart disease. High LDL, regardless of particle size, is linked to increased risk for heart disease.
Yes! This is good, very good indeed and supports what I’ve thought for a long time now.
This video ought to be viewed by all members of the plant based community; it has the potential to unite instead of divide our movement; by showing that the real cause of degeneration and disease is the consumption of animal products!
😉
What a video!!
Nice one Dr. G.
🙂
How does a whole plant foods diet compare to the eco atkins?
+Ruth Peleg I believe you can lose weight on both. Although it might be harder to sustain eco
Eco atkins should be whole plant. See cousens rainbow green live food cuisine
@Scarlet Stark Yeah… avocados are expensive.
Sow what about plant-based low carb vs plant based high carb?
@CISMD A high-carb, low-fat, low-protein may be optimum based on Okinawans.
Yeah, have fun with that diet. Sounds really exciting.
A M That sounds absolutely miserable.
@aeneas4dido you’ve probably never had coconut butter, right?
I think lower fat is best but still no over eating. More green Leary’s the better off
low carb = few calories of carbs
or
low carb = low percentage of taken in calories from carbs?
That’s awesome! Still don’t want to part with my greens, though lol.
+Justin C. G. Garrett It was between a meat based Atkins diet(original) vs a plant based Atkins diet
If doing a low carb vegan diet, you’d be parting ways with your fruit before greens.
Question: Was it High Fat and High Protein in both cases? If so, that may be a cop-out. I have seen it in many criticisms of “atkins”. My interest is in a simply High Fat and Low Carb diet. From what I understand, they are fundamentally different.
freedomsadvocate plant fats like nuts and seeds have insane amounts of protein, so to meet fat needs you would have to eat alot of nuts or seeds.
Did they eliminate anyone who was already morbidly obese from the group on the Adkins type diet?
If by regular diet they mean standard American, animal-based low carb diets must be really unhealthy…
I went from high carb veg to low carb veg and my RLS has finally gone away…. I’m not ravenously hungry all the time and i just feel so much better. I’m sticking with it.
k you should do a followup vithis topic. Vegan keto is becoming very popular!
Yeah a follow up would be great
Thank you for all of the diligent work! I love watching your videos to learn more about the newest studies on nutrition.
I follow Eco-Atkins diet for the most part. I don’t do the protein as high (80g instead of 120) but I keep my carbs between 100g-128g and my saturated fat between 11-13g. My father’s family has problems with blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes and my mother’s is full of those whiskey drinking and bacon eating old folks that live forever lol. I’m not quite 30 but… I’d rather not test my 50/50 shot. Preventative medicine! I eat a mostly whole food diet that focuses on low GI/GL foods and eats higher carb stuff as a treat or snack. That being said I have a deep fondness for sweet potatoes and I love that they are in season!!!
Ok, but what about comparing it to the standard plant based diet…???
How did they do comparing to them…?
I am curious about Seitan. I make it without oil just chickpeas, organic vital wheat gluten. Vegetable broth and spices. I have been following a wfpb diet now for 5 years. I’ve just been told recently that seitan Is not recommended and should be avoided in a WFPB diet. Why?
It’s not a whole food but it’s relatively healthy. It’s eaten alot in East Asia by Buddhist vegetarians, and sometimes as an appetizer by ordinary people.
Fascinating!
