Re: a couple questions about this diet

I have been a vegan, a meat-eater, a vegetarian and now aiming at being a fruitarian. Though now overweight, I have been very active all my life - my career in the military was combatant intelligence. That makes demands on the body that the average guy just does not experience. The longest I have gone without animal protien has been 8 years, with no soy, and no health problems - they all started when I retired and stopped being active.



If you wish to condemn soy for men, you should also condemn it for women - it is an obnoxious little plant, with a vicious streak, as all the people eating it right now will eventually find out. As with most things nowadays, insufficient research was conducted before allowing commerce to exploit both the plant, and us.

In my diet, I eat many different things - I am researching all aspects of fruit as a food, and finding more things available than I had first thought. I have a revulsion of milk, which is lifelong, so never have I consumed it in liquid form. I have eaten cheese, but do not like the stuff, and now do not eat any of it at all - my point is, my active life was successfully lived, whilst eating vegetables and fruits, with occasional nuts. I use coconut oil, always un-refined, and have no problems at all with strength issues.

I admit that a fruit only diet is new to me, but I am able to monitor my bulk, mass and strength - I will know if I need to use something else in my diet.

Of interest, I know of MANY people who eat no animal produce or proteins at all, and never have done - they number in the hundreds of thousands - and that group includes some of the most able military fighters on earth. Too much is believed from western schools, that churn out allopaths by the million. The body does not need meat, or meat protein - It can, and does, work really well, without bothering to eat an animal.

I will of course, keep the good people in this forum informed of the progress of my health recovery. Tweet
