  1. plant based diet?

    I'm glad that you can admit both sides of the argument. I just hate how there are so many rumors and lies within the nutritional world today. I'm happy I'm getting my information from textbooks and not the internet because every other site conflicts with each others research and information.

  2. plant based diet?

    It's pretty obvious your are writing from a subjective point of view. If you've ever read a biology book you would know that glucose is the main form of energy for humans which is preferred by the body by carbs. Eating too much of something is always going to turn out negative but I never said...

  3. plant based diet?

    Yes I know that from a biological perspective. All I am saying is carbs should be and are the main source of glucose for the human body. Even if you have some ketones in your blood your body needs to get rid of them because they are acidic which messes up your acid base balance. Like I said...

  4. plant based diet?

    All I am doing is describing ketosis. Ketones are acidic so your body flushes them out using water which leads to dehydration and increases urination. And I am a college student if that matters.

  5. Diet advice

    I would go with 150. Anything lower than 130 will initiate keto. If you are trying to get lean for the winter while increasing muscle I would consume carbs as fruits vegetables and whole grains and stay away from refined stuff. If you are not consuming enough of these it might attribute to your...

  6. plant based diet?

    Your body is supposed to derive glucose from carbs. Carbs are not bad for you. When a sedentary lifestyle is put into the mix all of those carbs are stored as fat. Why would you want your body to pull fat and protein from cells, muscles, and organs just so you can lose water weight and become...

  7. Diet advice

    I was talking about protein sparing but when you don't eat enough carbs your metabolism of fats is inefficient which leads to ketosis. This screws up your acid base balance and makes you dehydrated

  8. Diet advice

    When you limit your carbs your body uses protein for energy which gets extracted from your vital organs. Your body has to work a lot harder to function.

  9. plant based diet?

    Just like ancel keys is giving fat a bad name. You are giving carbs a bad one. Carbs are the main source of energy for the body. In your case which your carb intake is relatively lower or someone who disregards carbs will induce ketosis which uses stored fat for energy. People think they are...

  10. Do you need to eat before you workout?

    I don't know about bananas. I heard they have a relatively high glycemic index which decreases your energy if you eat them pre exercise.

  11. plant based diet?

    Yes I know that protein intake depends a lot on activity and age. I was just saying that a vegetarian can get all the amino acids. And vassille I'm not pushing vegetarianism I'm just saying there is a lot more benefits to a plant based diet than there is just mostly meat. As long as you eat...

  12. plant based diet?

    Jiigzz I don't want to get in Another big argument lol but your liver produces all of the cholesterol you need for your cells. This makes it non essential for you to consume. Also I wouldnt worry too much about amino acids as long as the protein intake is above the RDA. Including a variety of...

  13. plant based diet?

    Lol vassille as long as we are settling this debate. I agree but there are good and bad sources of saturated fat. I am currently horrible at cooking so there is no way I can integrate a plant based diet. And as far as working towards something, it's true that there are pros and cons. I'm not so...

  14. plant based diet?

    Vassille you are missing the point. A low fat diet is not the main argument. It is eating naturally. Plants, fruits vegetables, legumes, seeds, etc. Meat has no carbs and is high in saturated fat. You can get protein from plants just as easy as from meat. I am not a vegetarian but I feel a lot...

  15. plant based diet?

    Our body makes enough cholesterol. I don't know where you learned that the liver doesn't make enough. The human body is always trying to maintain homeostasis. If there wasn't enough cholesterol than it would simply produce more.
