Where do you get your Protein if you don't eat Meat?

[lovebigboobs29]

This doctor is a joke. An omnivore diet is the best diet for us. I hate these lying vegan doctors.

[biglabrador]

Dear Dr McDougall - what causes obesity or owerweight? There is an ongoing debate wheter it is: a) carbohydrates - via the increased insulin (excess calories storage hormone) secretion to reduce sugar in blood after high carb meals; b) fats - due to the fact that they have the highest caloric density? All the best from Poland

Spinach is 30% protein.

[checkingavailabilify]

It's still low in some conditionally essential amino acids which can lead to cognitive decline.

[OrelSaks]

I've seen this guy channel-surfing on one of the crazy-"christian" channels. I wouldn't believe anything that comes from these clowns who reject science and believe all that primitive nonsense in the Bible.

[deltaxcd]

I checked the article and it says nothing about where to get essential aminoacids. if you eat only rice and potatoes. and these taste like crap without meat anyway.

I agree that protein amount should be minimal, but meat is best way to get essential aminoacids and it makes food taste good even if you add a little amount of meat.

Also without meat you will not grow big what may increase lifespan but it will make you weak.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd NONSENSE, Meat is the best way to get cancer, not protein! Try Wheatgrass, Try Quinoa, Try learning something in life.

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

You will get cancer anyway, eat whatever you like you will get it sooner or later.

small amount of meat wont do much damage but will greatly enhance quality of life because it tastes good.

I agree that too much meat is harmful because it produces ammonia, but it is not cyanide it wont kill you.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd You're correct, eating the traditional/typical western diet full of animal products will cause you to get cancer sooner or later.

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

You will get cancer without animal products as well, maybe risk is little lower, but not that much.

and since they taste great I don't mind to take that risk.

if you do not eat meat you need big diversity of plants, while with meat you can live only on hamburgers, pizzas and apples. that way easier that hunting diversity of fruits and vegetables to get all essential amino acids.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd Risk is FAR less and almost non-existant. Research *any* vegetable or fruit and you'll find every one of them has anti-cancer properties. Imagine if you were to fill your diet with a variety of these anti-cancerous foods... you'll also find that every animal product PROMOTES the growth of cancer, you don't have to imagine what that does to the body, just look at the typical American, fat and full of disease. You must work for the dairy/meat industry.

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

I do not advocate overuse of dairy/meat but I recommend use these as kind of spice. Just as you use pepper or tomato sauce. they taste great with potatoes or rice.

I completely agree that best food for human is glucose (starch) because it promotes satiety and leaves no harmful substances in our body.

animal fat is also almost harmless but it has too much calories and contaminants.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd It's fine with me that you don't care enough about yourself to take care of your body, eat whatever the hell you want, just stop trying to convince others that eating pizzas and hamburgers are just as good or only slightly worse than eating a diet rich in fruit and vegetables. Meat and Dairy is literally poison, it causes a slow, disease ridden and usually painful demise, if one cares about themselves they will refrain from eating meat and dairy. Period.

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

I newer said it is good diet. I just stated fact that such diet has all essential nutrients you may ever need.

Where I live everybody eats meat and almost nobody is fat or sick maybe only 1 of 50 or less people have weight problems. All my family has excellent health and we all eat some meat. So what you say about diseases is lie.

Also meat improves my digestion it eaten together with bread products.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd Where do you think cows get their protein?

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

Cows can produce it themselves from anything edible. We do not have some genes so we need external sources of protein.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd yeah weak... like this guy watch?v=eDWQ2teUXwQ

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

As I know most of vegetarians looks quite different.

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

You can become stronger without meat, but drmcdougallmd himself said that milk and meat makes you grow faster because it increases amount of IGF levels up to 60%, what also cause cancer and shorter age. So if you eat meat and milk you just grow much bigger without any effort. Also it makes you heal faster.

Soy can be used to replace meat but it is same as meat or even worse so why bother.

[pxlfoo]

@deltaxcd watch?v=ob3Nmr1i4ns, can't imagine Dr McDougall, or any educated person recommending dairy products in the human diet.

[deltaxcd]

@pxlfoo

he did not recommended dairy products he just stated the fact that these product amplify IGF levels in our blood what causes faster growth , healing, cancer and faster aging.

So we should threat dairy products as drugs that are useful and also harmful.

[drmcdougallmd]

@ChrisL101

Read my article on proteins under my Hot Topic: When Friends As: Where do you get your protein.

[ChrisL101]

@drmcdougallmd Your site is confusing and hard to navigate, I would enjoy reading what you have to say, however I am skeptical of you not saying it in this forum. I think you're concerned I will disagree, and call you out on something bogus. I would love to be proven wrong, but that is my inclination. Perhaps you define amino acid differently, or maybe something to do only 5% of calories are from protein anyway. Some theory that totally goes against common sense and evolution.

[pxlfoo]

@ChrisL101 Why would you have any reason to be skeptical? You think he's making money off of people eating fruit and vegetables? I'll tell you what your problem is my friend, you lack all reason and common sense, to put it simply, you're dumb. To be honest I'm really happy your dumbass can't find the article referenced, you must be quite the drain on society, we don't need more stupid people like yourself living any longer than absolutely necessary.

[pxlfoo]

@drmcdougallmd You're a great man Dr. McDougall, I want to Thank you for your hard work in spreading this important message; Fruits & Veggies = Life, they're a perfect package of health and happiness and it is thanks to people like you that I am aware of this fact. Unfortunately, as you know, most will not take heed but keep spreading the message as there are many who will and do once they get the correct information, and it's always good to be reminded. God bless you sir.

[pxlfoo]

@ChrisL101 Lol, and you expect us to listen to YOU? hahaha.. go troll elsewhere, you're a big (probably literally) dummy! go stuff your mouth with some pig butt and stop spreading disinformation.

[Brandic2020]

F U C K vegetarianism. Meat FTW!

[gringolazlo]

Funny how your friends and family who arent into nutrition at all suddenly become experts when it comes to protein.

[EEHUGO]

Thank you so much for your examples. I am a Vegan and it is always nice to have numbers and percentages available when omnivores criticize the way I eat. I particularly enjoyed the human breast milk example since I did not know this. Thanks again and keep up all the good work you are doing!.

[ConcreteRiver]

all of my protein intake is in the form of potatoes(8-10 large per day) and bananas(10-15 per day).

You cannot consume a calorically adequate, 2000 calorie a day diet comprising entirely of whole plant foods and not guarantee yourself at least 50g of high grade complete quality protein.

[FrozenMermaid666]

It's funny how so many people use that silly protein ''argument'' against veganism. We only need about 40-70 grams of protein a day. Most fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds contain plenty of protein, and many grains contain even more protein than most meats and other animal products.

Bread, for example, has a lot of protein. 100 g bread = 8-15 g protein.

I'm vegan, and I actually get much more protein than I need.

[LloydChristmas777]

@FrozenMermaid666, That's because some people prefer fairy tales over facts.

[MajkeTiTvoje]

@FrozenMermaid666 protein is not the issue with vegans, its the vitamin b12. I think that is the only really important issue every vegan should be aware of. b12 deficiency can cause anemia and irreversible nerve damage within a few years.

[asdffdsafdsa123]

@FrozenMermaid666 only cos ur a little girl. Real bodybuilding men should get around 150-200g of protein a day, i guess if yur a scrawny little vegan cunt you can get away with 40g.

[durianrider]

Ive cycled over 190 000km as a vegan in the last decade. I must be 'protein deficient'. ;)

[Brandic2020]

@durianrider That's why you look like a malnourished broomstick. Add some tasty meat to your diet.

[Lakkhesis1976]

@durianrider Certainly no ego deficiency, not sure about the protein!

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 You missed a few of his videos ;)

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified The ones where he's giving, compassionate, informative, intelligent and sane? WHERE?

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 no, no I meant you missed a few of his videos where you didn't troll him ;)

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified I only 'troll' where 'trolling' is due.

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 lol he probably blocked you lmao. Seriously it doesn't do any good. Just make an example of yourself on your channel. If your legit then people will follow. I would follow. So far Harley is the only legit dude on youtube that actually makes sense.

Good luck :)

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified Well duh, he blocked me, which he does to anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with him.

Why would I bother 'making an example of myself' on my channel? I'm not selling anything, I'm not egotistical enough to believe that I have all the answers.

Harley is the only 'dude' on youtube who makes sense TO YOU: because all he does is insult people, swear and eat fucking bananas. Any chimp can imitate that. And evidently, they do.

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 He makes sense because his nutritional advice makes sense, I like that he says what he feels needs to be said, and it does. He blocked you because your comments are rude and of course you think you have all the answers or you wouldn't be arguing with him or me. If you think you can do better than him than go for it. As I have said before I would love to see how fit you are. Otherwise your just talk.

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified OK. Health and fitness are two very different concepts. I know that might blow your lil mind. I'm not interested in the kind of 'elite level' fitness that Harley promotes- I don't live on disability benefits and solicited donations like he does, so I don't have time to spend 5 hours on a bike and 12-15 hours sleeping on a daily basis. I practice vigorous yoga, swim, walk, kettle bell. I'm strong, flexible, healthy. I have a good body composition.

Again... It's 'you're', not 'your'.

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified BTW, you're kidding yourself if your honestly believe that Harley only blocks 'rude' people. He blocks ANYONE who questions or raises alternatives. He also has about 20 youtube accounts, and comments and rates his OWN CHANNEL. 70 hours a week of all this, he himself admits.

Keep noshing those nanas, you'll work out one day sooner or later that you're being scammed.

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 Scammed for what?

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified A diet that is so unsustainable over time that you are highly likely to desperately seek the (very expensive) consultation, ebooks, DVD's, audio programs and coaching of said scammers before finally giving up.

UNLESS of course, you have a particularly strong constitution and are able to sustain the diet for the long term yourself, in which case you have been blessed with parents, grandparents and even ancestors further back who ate nutrient rich, omnivorous diets.

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 Fitness and Health are intertwined. You don't have to be elite like Harley but I do believe that you should be very active to achieve a high level of health. Another thing, how did Harley achieve such high levels of fitness when his diet is so shitty and unsustainable? Again if you're going to talk a lot of crap then I would recommend you post some pics or vids of yourself. Otherwise people aren't going to take you seriously because your just a youtube avatar.

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified Activity is required for health, yes.

But it's entirely possible to reach levels of 'elite' fitness eating an SAD diet. People do it all the time. People who actually compete, rather than tag along while others train, like Harley does, or boast about winning Thai cycling races where everyone else is riding homemade bikes made out of sticks and tin cans.

Dude, your FIXATION on me posting pictures and videos is beyond weird.

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 Weird? How the fuck is me wanting to see your fitness level weird? You just fat and out of shape and embarassed.

[Jordonified]

@Lakkhesis1976 No it just makes you look like a liar. Unless your willing to show yourself I will picture you as a fat out of shape woman who is to scared to be ridiculed on the internet and would rather to the middle ground and not commit to anything.

Fatso ;)

[Lakkhesis1976]

@Jordonified A premium 80/10/10 role model right here folks, step right up.

[asdffdsafdsa123]

@durianrider no yur just a scrawny little bitch

[2c4u222]

Thank you!
