    pseudo-bravado.
    also, it's not as much of 'being manly' than it is a fallacious appeal to base desires and abdication of personal responsibility. much easier to gorge yourself on, a necessary food type yes, but in a gluttonous manner - and claim that gluttony is 'manly'. when in reality, it is deeply spiritually sickening to participate in murder beyond what we must. to take without consideration is an extremely Black person tier behavior, of all things, especially toward the kingdoms helpless to resist us, the animals and earth.
    on the flipside, there's no doubt once you directly experience the benefit of a superfood mix tripling your energy, an herbal tincture making your digestion twice as good, or just plain refreshing good fruit, the ego steps back and sits the frick down.

    I’m not sure, but it must be related to why vegans irrationally avoid protein, even from plant-based sources. I ate a vegan diet for 2 years (grew up eating a terrible diet and was fat, so I needed to lose weight and reset my diet). It was so frustrating trying to get protein eating vegan food. Pretty much nothing ready-made on the market at the time had anywhere close to enough protein. Maybe 3g max per serving of vegan foods. If I wanted protein, I had to prepare my own meal.

    I think it stemmed from protein being a reason people were concerned about adopting a vegan diet. Rather than make vegan foods that had lots of protein, which actually isn’t too hard, vegans would avoid protein altogether, in some moronic protest or as a demonstration of how protein is unnecessary. Basically tribalism plus low-IQ.

    TL;DR people do moronic things because those people are moronic

        McDougal considers 60g of protein with EAAs malnutrition and thinks the protein requirements should be lower. He has multiple presentations calling essential amino acids highly toxic which is why he shills beans since most of the protein is unavailable. He's also the source on those vegans saying fiber is better for building muscle. He has an army of dedicated fanboy cultists too that like to pretend to be fitness gurus but they're actually vegans.

          I'm sorry I forgot to elaborate why he says "malnutrition." He makes the connection that higher protein intake, which in his head is anything over 60g of bioavailable protein, will induce rabbit starvation which has never been observed in human populations. They can't find one example, let alone a wide spread epidemic.

          I only care about results and I hate keto because I've tried various diets and know well what meshes.

          A high-carb plant-based diet is optimal for athletic performance and overall health/wellbeing.

          Nobody can produce evidence otherwise and the results speak for themselves when all the keto/carnis I've met are delusional and projecting their anger onto others.

            Yes. They're so extreme even vegan protein substitutes like pea and zoy are considered bad by them. You have to watch out for the vegan astroturfers. They love to jump into a conversation about "athleticism" or something to start projecting their high fiber cult. And it is a cult, because it's not based on conclusion evidence. It's just biased, one off studies.

    Its not fear. Its a recognition that not all plants are equally digestible to all people.

    MANY people can eat broccoli just fine and not suffer gastric distress - others have to make sure its well cooked- still others find they feel better (less gas, bloating, indigestion) if they avoid it entirely.

    Repeat this process for may different types of green vegetables.

    Almost noone can readily digest oak leaves, so we dont call them "edible" even though we also dont call them "poisonous." This is not considered radical.

    Nor should avoiding a bunch of other plants be callwed "radical"

    Before you criticize the avoidance of plants by some, you need to ask yourself what precisely, is being lost by not eating vegentables? Go ahead and say "muh fiber" or "muh vitamins and minerals." Thats normie tier thinking; be precise - which vitamins and minerals exactly?

    There is a lot of research and theory that says fiebr is overblown and not encesary if someone is otherwise eating a whole food/meat and egg diet.

    Also, the vitamin needs of meat eaters is less than that of omnivores - go ahead and google the use of vitamin c in the synthesis of carnitine and tell me whether meat eaters need more or less vitamin c to make that happen.

    I eat evegtables because my guts are pretty good and I like them. But I am not hostile to the argument that for some, digestion and nutrient absorption is better without them.

    Stan Efferding's vertical diet is a good balnced treatment of the de minimis role vegtanbles need to play in the healthy diet of an athlete looking to eat well and healthfully (hint - he recommends modest amounts of certain vegetables)

    Finally, fruit is frequently different - far more digestible to almost all humans than vegetable matter.

      This is the most moronic, pseudo-intellectual cum guzzling question I've ever seen in my life.

      You will be deficient in most vitamins and many minerals on a diet without vegetables, unless you eat only organ meat in which scenario you will develop gout and iron poisoning.

            if you actually read the literature, protein count was pretty irrelevant. All that mattered was amino acid intake and that isn't hard to satisfy even with low-protein meals.

Fruits and vegetables are not inherently harmful to health of course but look at the people who shill them; and I don't mean eat, or enjoy, I mean preach about them being the be-all-end-all one-stop-shop solution of nutrition like a keto guy with meat or a goyslop addicted land whale with McDonald's.

                We don't know the answers to all of those questions. The difference between us is that I'm happy to admit that I don't have the answers, but you're happy to make definitive statements.

                >The average human diet in Western societies contains approximately 20–25 g fiber/day (29). In diets that are high in fruit and vegetables, the fiber content may reach 60 g/day (30). Fermentation of the carbohydrates reaching the cecum yield 400–600 mmol SCFAs/day, which amounts to a production of SCFAs of 0.24–0.38 kg body weight−1 h−1, equivalent to ∼10% of the human caloric requirements
                >In humans, SCFAs provide ∼10% of the daily caloric requirements (31). CO2 production measurements in isolated colonocytes showed that colonocytes derive 60–70% of their energy supply from SCFA oxidation (100). The general idea is that colonocytes prefer butyrate to acetate and propionate, and oxidize it to ketone bodies and CO2 (100).
                >Although much is known about the biochemistry of the conversion of carbohydrates into SCFAs by the bacteria composing the microbial community, there is a paucity of data on the production rates of SCFAs by the gut microbial community as a whole. This is largely due to the inability to sample the large intestine of man. Therefore, and as discussed in the previous section, the supply rate of SCFAs to the host remains enigmatic. There is a pressing need for measurement of true production rates of SCFAs, and the degree by which specific carbohydrates and microbiota influence the mass and composition of SCFAs

                never the less, the answer seems to be an incredibly small amount of cellulose is digested due to our reduced (read: vestigial) cecum, and the only derived benefit is from the byproduct of the bacteria which feeds on the fiber. which only stays in our system for roughly 24 hours.
                unlike how we enzymatically break down animal products wherein we utilize the majority of the product.

                You're an actual moron. It's not just the energy gained from it - which will vary in accordance with the amount of dietary fiber, but the other effects on host metabolism from metabolites produced or reduced by gut microbes.

                checked. because "balance" implies perfect information, in the game theory sense, if not - it is only a relative balance. or balance derived from best knowledge.
                if you look at the food industry as a whole - or as close to a whole as possible, and come to the conclusion its aim, or general aim of interdependent parts is to the betterment of human health and not profit, even if by a margin of 1% one way or the other, you're naive.
                there is systematic frickery abound. whether in the abstraction of science via bad science or reporting, the support (financially) of infotainment pushing agendas including the moral compunction to go a certain way - the end result is the same, trust = naivety.
                where do you go from there? imo, empiricism.
                there is "genuine" science to support an animal based diet. there is "genuine" science to support a vegan lifestyle. there is "genuine" science to support a balanced diet.
                it all cannot be correct. there is no perfect knowledge. no macro efficient route to maximize end-game diet. so empiricism rules.

                Who are you quoting? I never said anything about balance.
                Humans are omnivores. We have biological adaptations towards both plant and animal foods (low stomach pH, duplicate copies of amylase encoding genes etc)
                Whats with the big non sequitar about the food industry aiming for betterment or not profit?
                >it all cannot be correct.
                Why not? You presuppose that there is some theoretically ideal diet that everyone should follow. What if the "perfect" diet would be something different for every person, depending on their age, genetics, lifestyle etc? Every diet could be "correct" for a certain subgroup of people, or rephrased, every subgroup of people could have its own ideal diet.
                It isn't self evident that the ideal diet for a baby is the same as the ideal diet for a 30 year old male manual worker. It isn't self evident that the ideal diet for an epileptic African American with essential hypertension is the same as the ideal diet for a 90 year old Nepalese sherpa.

                you implied a balance.
                >Why not?
                your examples would imply a hyper-diversification of a complex apex predator species. where else in nature do you see that beyond the superficial? you don't see some wolves evolutionary regressing due to food shortages, they simply die off. read: fermentation is a evolutionary left over.
                chances are there is a singular (not including abnormal development in pre-birth populations) optimal human diet. chances are it wouldn't naturally include a system that is as inefficient as fermenting undisgestable cellulose to feed a gut bacteria that produces something usable. especially when that gut bacteria is susceptible to die off through natural means from sources that cannot meet our needs 100% (B vitamins).
                if we were 50/50 enzymatic/fermentation digestors the systems would be more efficient. if the system was 90/10 as a necessary condition of the environment (read: survival in tough times) why wouldn't that 10 be so low when it seems the majority of our time on earth has been within a state of survival?
                it doesn't make holistic sense when you broaden your view, yet in nature we don't shutter at the thought or 100% carnivores or herbivores.
                the non-sequitur about the food industry is inclusive in my broadened view because it explains people like you with (bad) preconceived notions of balance and people with absurd notions like veganism.

                Yet no vertebrate species can exist in good health without a stable gut microbiome that ferments part of their food and produces certain useful metabolites to the host species and prevents colonisation of the gut by pathogenic microbes.
                You talk about things making "holistic sense" and yet you only consider gut fermentation in terms of the proportion of energy it contributes and not the multitude of other functions it serves by virtue of the microbes it sustains.
