[QUOTE="Kettlebells, post: 178371, member: 17086"] One thing I know about diet is that works is unique to the individual, especially when a person is dealing with a metabolic disorder. I am a type 2 diabetic who went on a whole-foods, plant-based diet against the advice of my endo. The ADA diet absolutely did not work for me. My endo was pushing me to go high animal protein, low-carb, but I have never been a big meat eater. It trashes my digestive track, gives.me wicked heartburn, and leads to horrible constipation. I started to follow the work of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. He had case after case where he was able to get people off of meds with plant-based diets. My bloodwork was so radically different than it had been after ninety days on the diet that my endo thought that there had have been a mistake at the lab. My triglycerides dropped from the 250s to under 150. My hbA1C dropped from 6.5 to 5.6. Within a year, my liver enzymes were normal for the first time in 20 years (my endo was able to reduce my medication from three oral medications to just metformin), and felt better than I had in years. Anyone who believes that a whole-foods, plant-based diet is some kind of fad is clueless about nutrition. The reason why most people who try it fail is because they replace animal protein with starch. All this type of person is doing is eating the same way while cutting out animal protein. That leads to poor health. It takes effort to switch from animal based sources of protein and fat to plant-based sources of fat and complete proteins. It also requires a new way of looking at food preparation. I was always hungry when following the ADA diet. I was never hungry after switching to a whole-foods, plant-based diet and I lost weight for the first time in 20 years. I am now a firm believer that animal flesh is a secondary source of protein, which has become even more devoid of nutrition with the shift to factory farming. It is not an ethical decision for me. It is a health decision. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5466941/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
