No they actually are not. Ill give you one example you can look into and start if you want to look more into it.
A lot of plants emit toxins when they are cut or damaged in some way, its actually a defense mechanism that many plants actually have.
I looked into this at one point cause I was doing a diet of basically 3 oz of meat, a lot of veggies, and I was doing a lot of juicing (thinking this was how I loose weight).
During that time I suffered from calcium kidney stones 3 times over the course of 1 year. My husband (boyfriend at the time) told me to stop drinking the juice cause that is what was causing them, I thought he was crazy till I did a little digging.
You also loose a ton of weight on just veggies cause your starving your body of any actual nutrients it needs. Thats why most real vegans look like skeletons. The ones that are fat eat nothing but sugar and sweets.
Just look up vegan videos on youtube, some of them are seriously scary looking.
Juicing is bad for you, not eating fruits and vegetables. How many apples can you eat in one sitting? Now guess how many apples it takes to make apple juice. Juicing also tends to remove the pulp, which has a purpose of slowing down the uptake of sugar into the bloodstream.
It probably depends on where you are deficient or damaged. It’s important to get key nutrients.
I’m by no means vegan. I love an appropriate amount of meat and fat. I get the fattiest meat I can get. I love bacon.
But in college when I was eating mostly meat and carbs, low fruit and veggie I was not as well. Had sensitive stomach problems. I am more careful with where my meat and carbs come from though now. Cured my lactose intolerance I got then.
I am healthier with a balance of aromatics, fruits, and more veggies. I personally like spinach, arugula, avocados, okra, broccoli, ginger, brussel sprouts, turmeric, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, bok choy, celery, cilantro, parsley, green onions, berries, peaches, pears, and recently radish leaves.
Correct. Walk into any supermarket. You start off in the produce section.
Almost NONE of those fruits and vegetables are the way they were 100,000 years ago. They have all been genetically selected over many generations to be bigger, jucier, more sugary, etc.
Carrots were originally white. The Dutch experimented with different colors -- white, purple, and orange. The orange ones were the most popular, so that is why we have orange carrots today.
This is how we can know that early man ate very little, if any, plant foods. There wasn't anything worth eating. And don't even talk about the amount of energy from those original foods -- not worth even talking about compared to a nice mastadon kill.
There is also something called The Gerson Therapy. Which is a juice/plant diet for curing cancer and all other sorts of "incurable" diseases. Been around since the 1930s curing shit. However they have ONE animal product in that plan and its liver supplements. When you starve the body of sugar, you starve the cancer and other things of its food source to survive. Not a lot of fruit in that diet. But again, look up vegans and look at how malnourished they get.
Food has changed over the years which is probably another reason it fucks us up. With the use of genetically modified plants its hard to get away from. Maybe this is why it fucks our bodies up so much? I just know eating no animal products will destroy your body.
I think it’s important to stay away from gmo, pesticides, herbicides etc. The plants are sprayed with chemicals and water with heavy metals and fluoride. Meat has problems too like antibiotic injecting and wrong feed. This is why it’s very important how you source your food. Allergies or sensitivity usually isn’t the food but something bad they’ve done to it. I try buy organic or companies against these practices.
I wonder if the vegans are suffering from a kind of poisoning. But I’ve heard if you go vegetarian you have to eat every 4 hours, because you need to eat a lot more if you are just eating plants. Think how cows must graze all day to eat enough.
For me a tasty, balanced, and filling healthy meal is something like pork, mushrooms, onions, sweet potatoes sautéed in butter/fat with spices over a bed of fresh greens.
I think plants help people with problems because they were likely eating dead food. Processed, preserved etc. I think raw fresh nutrients helps those people.
But what do you think of eating a portion of meal with one third veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, beetroots, radish etc, all raw, and one third meat and one third carbs ?
Fiber is defined as that part of the plant that is ... NOT DIGESTIBLE.
All that fiber goes through you digestive tract and causes abrasions that are harmful.
You do not need ANY fiber in your diet. That is a myth.
There is no nutrition in lettuce or radishes. Tomatos might have a little, and beets have something in them that convert to nitric oxide, which is good.
I have lived my life in stretches eating high fiber food and other stretches eating very low fiber food. Trust me when I say you need non digestible fiber.
I would agree with you. At the very minimum, high fiber helps avoid constipation. Some people are lucky in that they don't get constipation without fiber, but fiber is really helpful to most.
rather than nutrients, you mostly lose alot of weight eating only veggies or fruits because they are almost completely devoid of calories. You could eat and entire barrel full of veggies and it would probably have less calories than a single steak.
No they actually are not. Ill give you one example you can look into and start if you want to look more into it.

My problems came from drinking vegetable juice greens and other veggies, not fruit juice.
Oxalic acid most likely. Spinach especially
That doesn’t mean you don’t need fruits and vegetables at all.
Try eating a meat and carb only diet, your stomach will hurt.
This lady got out of wheel chair from a mostly intensely nutritious plant diet:

A meat only diet has helped many as well. Mostly those with autoimmune diseases, like Jordan Peterson's daughter.

I also eat fermented and pro&pre-biotic foods.
Actually, it DOES mean that.
Keep up the good work.
Here's something else. Fruits and vegetables have been manipulated to be basically unrecognizable: https://www.sciencealert.com/fruits-vegetables-before-domestication-photos-genetically-modified-food-natural/amp

There is also idioblasts. different plants have different defense mechanisms. Depends on the plant.
But what do you think of eating a portion of meal with one third veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, beetroots, radish etc, all raw, and one third meat and one third carbs ?
I am still not sure about fruits.
Fiber is defined as that part of the plant that is ... NOT DIGESTIBLE.
All that fiber goes through you digestive tract and causes abrasions that are harmful.
You do not need ANY fiber in your diet. That is a myth.
There is no nutrition in lettuce or radishes. Tomatos might have a little, and beets have something in them that convert to nitric oxide, which is good.
But you don't really need them.
Are we just ignoring the fact that the bacteria in your gut feed off of the fiber that you eat?
My understanding is that some parts of your gut microbiome depend on good, healthy fiber for fuel.
The gut flora will change when your diet changes.
The bacteria that eat fiber are only there BECAUSE you are eating fiber. Change your diet and those bacteria will morph into something more useful.
They are working hard on all that fiber to PROTECT you, because if they don't, your colon will get blocked, and you will die.
Just give them a different job to do, which will help you be healthier, by getting that fiber out of your diet.
I have lived my life in stretches eating high fiber food and other stretches eating very low fiber food. Trust me when I say you need non digestible fiber.
I would agree with you. At the very minimum, high fiber helps avoid constipation. Some people are lucky in that they don't get constipation without fiber, but fiber is really helpful to most.
I think its best to eat what you find works good for your body. But never eliminate animal products.
