"Science"? A few one-liners passes for science?? Where is the study data, the analysis of lab results? Jeez... way to confuse some people
Why is this informing to anyone with any practical knowledge of LIFE?? Giving less than you take eventually = excess, fat, GLUTTONY. No such thing as big-boned or having a "slow" metabolism....just our lazy lifestyles. Feed a normal-sized person only cake for a month and chances are he won't have gained any weight (they'll have probably withered away some pounds due to nutrient deficiencies, even). Why? Because they probably WOULDN'T BE CONSUMING ANY MORE FOOD/CALORIES/FUEL/ENERGY than they were on their usual dietary regime. Jeez...you think being overweight was a national concern/epidemic when cheap, low-quality, overabundant processed foods weren't readily available? Take a look at any disadvantaged country on this Earth and tell me...
Wow are you misled, ill-informed, or willingly stupid? Research (google) the terms "economic diabetics". Why do you think this awful disease is rampant among the lower economic classes? Carbs are cheap, healthy foods are expensive. Duh. Once you slip into the trap of eating cheap carbs because that is what you can afford, you're on the slippery slope. Economics plays a far greater role than you realize - or can process...
...you think every country's poorer citizens are marginalized to consuming over-excessive ammounts of low quality processed carbs/sugar to the point of rivaling (North) America's 30% obesity rate? Of course not! Most poor people/families (outside N. America) would be happy to have ANY food at all available to them on some days! The point was that if your body only needs 2000 calories daily when you've been taking in 2500+, you'll gain weight regardless of anything. The people you're describing should just EAT LESS of those inexpensive, low-quality processed foods that led them to being overweight, whether those are all they can afford or not. Eating multiple servings of something that has 400 calories of little or no nutritional value won't do you any better than just having one...besides, I don't think mineral deficiencies are much of a relevant problem to those reading this webpage.
Greatist team - this is fantastic and very well put together! Thanks for the well-researched and well-organized info!
I absolutely love this! Fabulous!
It's silly to suggest that people who are eating a vegan diet are at risk for protein deficiency. Nutrition scientists have known for more than 100 years that on any practical plant-based diet, if you take care of the calories, the protein will take care of itself. www.gorillaprotein.com
