Re: Can you live only on High protein/High fat diet ?
yes, I think so but I ' ve read people reporting increased energy on this type of diet also the best antioxydant are from aniaml product ( zinc) collagen is made from proline and lysine , gluthatione is synthtises from amino acid, glutamine ( recommandede for leaky gut)is taken form animal product, alpha linolenic acid, cholesterol for the synthesis of bile acid and hormones etc...
Plants can provide zinc, and other antioxidants as well as amino acids and many other beneficial compounds including many not found in meats such as fiber, polyphenols and bioflavonoids. So again we need variety in diet.
Vegetables and fruits seems to add just a bit in the picture maybe for magnesium and viamin C which are imporatant to have.
To be honest I 've read that website that maybe turned my head a bit :
http://www.biblelife.org/carbs.htm
They are saying carbs are pathogenic, I know it is far fetched but they almost got me :/
But actually, I ' ve read people who have a long lifespan do eat carbs , bread, sugar etc...;so I don't know
Look at this woman jeanne calment she ate bread milk lots of chocolate, was smoking etc....she reached 121 years...
But maybe she ate all those thing in good proportionsn I guess it has to do with it like you said.
Yes.
