I'm also a veggie, and I'm interested in changes to my diet. However I'd like to read up on the science first. It's just never logical to go to extremes. And this diet is extreme. Further my grandparents each grew close to a hundred before dying, none of them had very big illnesses so what is wrong with the way my family eats?
The human body is a biome. With what we eat we should be carefull that not only do we feed our own body. But all the millions of colonies of symbionts aswell.
Our bodies are clearly adjusted to a more varied diet than what is suggested in this thread. And to me it sounds illogical that the inventor of the diet is smarter than millions of years of evolution.
So. Is there any long term research to back up this diet? Not just hunches posted in journals. Is there a name or an author to the diet? Has it been researched, is there criticism?
I'm a believer in the theory that if you vary your food and eat enough calories. Then you're eating healthy. Even if part of that food is junk food. As long as you vary enough you'll get the spectrum of required nutrients.
Any thoughts?
