@terraflow__bryanburdo45478 years ago Excellent debate; it clarifies key issues and offers insight as to options for actionable courses of action. As a dietaryi welcome such a discussion so that each person can make more informed decisions appropriate to their unique lifestyle.
i will insert this one sidelight on the okinawans: the study of island biogeography shows us that adptation rates can be very high in closed gene pools in specialized environments. It would make sense that they might be more adapted to an agricultural diet and lifestyle than the rest of us, just as speciation occurs much faster on islands with the right set of influences (going back to darwin' s finches, etc. It would be interesting to do more genetic research around this topic with regards to their diet, metabolism, etc. ...Expand

@

@lotuskoko6 years ago I can attest to what dr. Hyman was describing with the difference in wheat. As an american who developed a wheat intolerance i was worried about moving i don' t think you can prescribe a certain diet for most people. Basics aside, i. E. Eating whole foods, there are different factors that influence health. Amount of stress and exercise. Environment. Before moving to laos, i was healthy. I rarely ate processed foods (occasional fast foods, sweets, etc. I did eat meats and animal fats. I led an active outdoor lifestyle - climber, hiker, biker. Casual yoga practitioner. I had low stress levels. I lived in the mountains. Never took the flu vaccination and even when exposed to people who developed the flu didn' t get sick, or any medication for that matter. Only pills i took were vitamins. My numbers after checkups were always good. Now, after having lived in laos for 4 years now, i' m seriously concerned about my health. I think i am the victim of a perfect storm - antibiotics every year (one year even twice) high stress, toxic environment, and due to low levels of energy as a result of getting sick, little to no exercise. To sum it up, i don' t think diet should be an isolated discussion.
funny how the comments section is dominated by vegans. ...Expand

I' m vegetarian, but it' s an example i use to show that different people have adapted to different diets, some are fine with diary, some not, others are 100% vegetarians like jains in india, who don' t eat anything coming from an animal.

@OnlineMD7 years ago I have read Dr. Hyman's book, "Eat Fat Get Thin." He recommends mostly plant based fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, coconut, and such. Yes he does say eat eggs but not to excess. (I don't; they are proven to raise TMAO in the blood) I can say one thing.after I read the book I started eating about an ounce and a half of mixed nuts and seeds with breakfast, and honestly have felt better. What's in the mixture: walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, and seeds: chia, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp. This will always be a part of my diet. But no more fat than that if I can help it.
However: except for that I continue a plant based balanced diet. Good low glycemic load carbs, good fat and good (plant) protein. We do NOT, NOT, NOT need animal protein or animal anything to maintain good health. A video clip of Dr. Hyman shows him raving about lamb, but best I recall the book does not push animal fat at all and is not true "Paleo." Look at the cover picture, it explains it all. The only animal foods he recommends are grass fed and not feed lot fed. His website says he's a "Paleo-Vegan (Pegan)." I think we need a wonderful balance in our foods, but I am determined that we do NOT need animal foods. He pushes protein but he is misguided in that vegetable proteins are not only more than adequate, they ensure good health. Look at an elephant- it does not consume animal protein. We don't need fish either. For a thousand years my ancestors in India never saw a fish on their dinner tables; nothing that walks, swims or flies. And they were wonderfully healthy until the onset of highly processed foods. Then their health started deteriorating. Flour of all kinds especially, as Dr. Hyman says. I agree with him entirely on that. However, current medical trends are towards a plant based, whole foods (no processed carbs or processed fats) diet.the kind of diet that saved Bill Clinton. I am an MDVIP Internist and do study a great deal about diet and health. .. ...Expand

@lyssadobbins72097 years ago At I'd like to see the findings of this study. I mean, it was such a broad thing to say. If I had to guess, I'd say that the people who started the high fat diet were coming from a past of even a higher fat diet and that's why they lost weight. Or they restricted caloric intake. I mean, most people are losing fat when they lose weight so if by eating a bunch of fat makes you lose more fat then we're living in a parallel universe. I really dislike when people generalize a study like this. I need to know the confounding factors and variables. .. ...Expand

@erinveronica85337 years ago I think they did a good job going over some issues here- but what about getting into ' anti-oxalates (because i get really confused with this) white potatoes/(and maybe otherand the way they break down during digestion (including sugars and types of natural sugars) isn' t the digestion the central figure of a health diet/system?
raw food vs cooked food ( 3 of my natural doctors have advised me to only eat cooked vegetables (raw fruits seems ok, i' ve heard arguments on fresh juicing and ways to juice or not) but i wonder about enzymes)
it does really annoy me when people talk about ' plant based diet' and then eat mostly processed foods- or rather grain and pasta based diet (also seems common in for those practicing vegan) but do we have to get so into the titles- at the end we' re just trying to eat as healthy as fit for us, our loved ones and protect a healthy ecosystem, right?
it seems fair to say that most/all? Would agree that processed foods are the center of most diet based illness ( with extra emphasis on high calorie/low nutrient fats and carbohydrates)also eating non gmo seems like a no brainer- what do we have to do to be sure that we get gmo labeled) but also what about foods that you process yourself (aka home prepared bean burgers, or coconut flour breads) and aren' t grains all somewhat processed but the time we get them- also how about fermented foods and cookingand techniques- and then what about the type of pans and containers our foods are cooked and stored in.
