An important mistake is not getting sufficient protein. In India vegetarianism is common, and it can be challenging getting enough protein without correspondingly raising the carb intake.

Another one is accepting fasting blood sugar levels in the range of 110-130 as 'normal'! I see this very commonly.

well it is also said protein deficiency is also scam.... it happens only during starvation...

when there is enough food... protein deficiency won't happen...

In my work as an Integrative Physician, and using a food diary, I have seen that it is almost impossible to reach a 1gm/kg recommendation without supplementation. Especially in vegetarians.

As long as you are eating any reasonable selection of unrefined plant foods, if you take care of the calories, the protein takes care of itself. The scientific evidence has been clear for over a century. In order to get a deficiency of protein, or any of the essential amino acids, you’d have to eat a bizarre diet. You’d have to eat nothing but apples, or nothing but extracted sugars and fats, or (as is much more likely) nothing but alcohol.

This writer is a vegan

So it's biased .

Read other articles

You will get to know this bias

She says that Gorillas get enough fat from plant

This ignorant Person is not aware that primates eats plants and produces SCFA thru bacterial fermentation

We can safely ignore this website

well Hidden here we are talking about proteins... not fats....

in reply tocure

Yes .

But she is claiming that plant protein is sufficient .. we know that there are class 1 proteins which are fulfilled by animal origin proteins... even if it's from milk

hahaha again we are talking about deficiency of proteins....where in world in well fed state we see such thing??

in reply tocure

Adequate proteins ensures longevity.. also less old age issue like weakeness.. Many move around with deficiencies without knowing or addressing it

E.g. is vitamin D deficiency

in reply tocure

No idea

cureAdministrator in reply to

well...its is subject of separate thread...

but in well fed state protein deficiency is rare..unless there is some other absorption problem....

in reply tocure

Probably

But my reply to you was the biased nature of that vegan writer.

hahaha I know.... but bhai even he/she is vegan...if we find some point in that...we should think....

we are open minded ppl...even LCHF was new to me... all standard medical advice was against...

but still with open mind we followed..(my case...may be ur case also same) and got results...

we are ripping rewards of open mind....

in reply tocure

I close my mind when some advise comes from a vegan 😁

This is quite a dangerous point of view. Protein calorie malnutrition is common in children in underdeveloped countries and leads to avoidable deaths. Protein deficiency is very common in countries like India; the newspapers are full of it. Gorillas are not humans.

Protein calorie malnutrition is common in children in underdeveloped countries and leads to avoidable deaths.

yes... and most of these kids are under fed..and starved...

protein obtained from fish ,meat ,chicken , causes the damage of kidneys and liver , due to the poisonous effects of aluminium chloride, and some other metals where the fish and small animals are taking the water contaminated with heavy metals . So excess protein also causes deaths sometimes .

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to

well contamination is different thing....that way everything is contaminated....

shashi was telling about quality of proteins....

quality is more important than quantity . What is the use of that protein which causes liver and kidney diseases on large scale which can't be over looked . It is better to go for plant proteins . We have to go for the lesser devil when absolute elimination is not possible .

I have been detected with pre diabetics.My FBS reading is usually between 120 -128 & PP is 130- 137.I am not on any medication.Doctor has suggested brisk walk and diet control.Is this condition reversible ? To be very frank I have stopped taking sweets potatoes bread rice and brisk walk daily for 40 minutes but I don't find much difference in my readings.
