All fruits and vegetables have the 8 essential amino acids? I think not. I will listen to a nutritional biochemist before I take advice from anyone on youtube, thank you very much.
Also, not everyone desires to become an athlete. I like head into the woods, take my bike for a ride, do yoga, work in the garden etc. But I have absolutely no desire to become an athelete. Why would I choose a diet that is tuned for an athlete? I eat to support the kind of lifestyle I want to live, and right now that is a high raw diet with about 20-30E% fats. That's what works best for me right now.
@quasim0do .. you are very in tune my freind... harley is only sayign what works for him.. and like everyoen else who has figured out what works for them.. they are excited to shar the info.. i am sure you can tell by his demeanour that he only wants everyone else to find what works for them as well
@EddyARB It doesn't work that way in my experience. At least not for me personally. I really wanted to believe that the fruiterian low fat diet was the ideal for me since it makes so much sense intellectually, but it just didn't work. I had huge blood sugar issues and was craving fruit all the time even though I ate a massive amount of calories.
I know that it seems to work for some people, and that's great. But for me it didn't, so I moved on.
And I haven't seen anyone doing well on a high fruit diet living in a cold climate eating imported fruit. I think it can be dangerous to advertise something like 811 to someone who intends to live in a place where he can't get fresh ripe local fruits all year round.
I might be eating a high fruit diet if I move to a warm country. But doing it while I'm here in Sweden? No way. It doesn't work.
@durianriders Doug Graham is a lovely man but he doesn't look all that healthy for his age in my opinion. At least not compared to people like Lou Corona.
Perhaps it's genetics, I don't know. But I choose to learn from people who has reached the goals that I want to achieve.
In that way I understand that you want to learn from Doug since you strive for perfect athletic performance. But that doesn't mean that it's the best allround lifestyle. There are always tradeoffs in my experience.
Also, he's saying that a human can't hunt down a deer by running after it. That's exactly how people were hunting these animals in the beginning. They were basically running after them until they got too tired, then walked up to them and killed them.
They were hunter/gatherers and was able to do things like that. He's saying that you can't be an athlete on that kind of diet then? It just doesn't make sense to me.
@durianriders To my knowledge, persistence hunting is still practiced by a few tribes today. So as much as I'd like to, I can't really deny the possibility that it can be done.
That said, I haven't seen it with my own eyes so I can't be 100% sure that it's not a myth. But it sure doesn't seem like it.
And if the only option is starvation I'm pretty sure that you'd take the risk of being eaten by a predator over the risk of your family dying.
in This current time with a global food economy where we can get Lots of variety of fruits and Vegetables of excellent quality for modest prices i cannot think of a single reason why any Human needs or even would want to Eat animal foods ?
Lets not talk about 1,000 years ago, Lets talk about TODAY right here and now
@quasim0do Thats just assumptions based on theories, there is actually no real evidence people ran down deers.. do you know how long it would take and how tired you would get? It would be a complete waste of energy to spend days hunting down a deer. The reason it doesn't make sense is because it's not what really happened. There is no doubt that plant food was our original diet, or at the very least our natural intended diet.
@ACLogikel As I said, persistance hunting is still practiced by a few tribes in Southern Africa. How is that not real evidence?
I personally believe that our ideal diet is plant based (perhaps with the addition of insects). But it's still a fact that people have hunted down animals for quite some time. Be it natural or not.
@quasim0do There is no proof that it is our natural diet. Because an african tribe hunts like that? That's silly. We are nothing like meat eating animals.
Dead raw meat smells great to animals, it taste great to them. When was the last time someone stopped at the side of the road to smell the roadkill? How many times have you caught fish with your hands and teeth and ate it on the spot because it's so damn good tasting!
But we do that with plants, like plant eating animals do. It's natural.
What's with all this boxed thinking? "THIS is good, therefore THAT is bad" Why can't both be good?
I've seen people thrive on a diet high in animals, I've seen people thrive on a diet high in fruit. I've even seen people thrive on the high fat raw diets that get such a bad rap.
I just can't ignore that. I just can't make stuff up to support whatever works for me and ignore what works for others.
I've come to the conclusion that there is no ideal diet for humans.
@1q2w3e4r5t6yusername Even though I choose not to eat it myself I am not that convinced that animal foods are all that bad for your health. It might have more to do with the quality of the food and the overall diet. Dietary research is still too focused on specific substances to be reliable in my opinion.
I'd consider bread to be a much unhealthier food than meat by the way.

What is an athlete? One who is vigorously active. If the work you do has less energy requirement, then you eat less.

Just eat less.

@quasim0do no human on the planet can out run a deer. can you imagine? you run the risk of being eaten by a lion or stabbing your foot on a stick.
