Diet lifestyling, there seems to be 2 opposite but functionally effective paths. Low fat vegan,OR no carb.

Posted by zeitgeist Jan 31 '18, 13:36

Both work. Going vegan low fat is the more responsible and cheaper. I did it for almost a year, cut cholesterol in half,literally. lost a ton of weight. But living on 15, 20 grams of fat a day is hard to keep to. I mean a bowl of oatmeal has 4 5 grams.

Then there is the low carb. A lot more expensive, kinda of a diet of privilege. You are not filling your plate with fillers, grains are not much better than sugars. Now 8t flies in the face of almost every thing we know, yeah eat bacon with everything, hell gargle with olive oil. So basically I double up on the veggies and skip the potato or pasta.

The bad news for both. ..there is no pizza, yeah sure, some crap substitutions

gracias. I low carbed for awhile - lost a ton but its too restrictive for me and I get cranky - ha. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 13:59 2
- for awhile it was an issue...keto fans talk about fat bombs (snacks) I go through a lot of almonds and beef jerky I should get my own dehydrator -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 31, 14:58 1
  - and restrictive is why I couldn't live with the vegan method. I guess both methods rely on forcing the body to process the one caloric stream differ - zeitgeist Jan 31, 15:02
