Fasted exercise

Another thought... Aren't you concerned about your cholesterol level and getting colon cancer (or other cancers) with you current diet? I would be!

Not at all.

There is a great deal of research out showing that dietary cholesterol does not impact blood serum cholesterol. There is evidence that in the 1950's, the Sugar Research Foundation paid off 3 Harvard Researchers to say that saturated fat and cholesterol caused heart disease. There is no causation link between high LDL and heart disease, unless you are an overweight type 2 diabetic with a metabolic disease.

Cancer is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction and fueled by sugar. There is no causation link that shows eating red meat causes ANY disease. Another propaganda lie in an attempt to get people off the most nutrient dense food - cow.

For perspective, here is my family cancer stats:

2 - whole food plant-based members died from cancer

1 - Standard American Diet (SAD) eater died from cancer

3 - SAD eaters got and survived cancer.

By those numbers, a person is better off eating meat as part of a *** diet than be plant-based. 

The research is mostly epidemiological (observational). Meaning they give people a food frequency questionnaire and say "okay, tell me what you've eaten for the past year with quantitative accuracy". The worst I saw was every 4 years. These studies compare plant-based to SAD, not plant-based to animal-based. The SAD peoples diet generally consists of 45-60% carbohydrates, I generally remain less than 10%. 

I have seen studies where they count lasagna as "meat" and a hamburger with fries and a coke as "meat". It's one of the great lies of the past 2 centuries.

Don't forget that veggies also contain oxalates, toxins, and anti-nutrients. They are not all sunshine and roses. 

I have helped both vegans and vegetarians introduce beef into their diet. The response is always the same, "I didn't realize how sick I was." 

Your family cancer stats are a VERY small sample of the population and doesn't prove anything. There is no way to prove that the cause of their cancer was from their whole food plant-based diet. There are many other causes of cancer besides diet. 

A meat diet like yours is lacking in fiber; you might want to consider regular colonoscopies.

Do you also believe vaccines cause autism?

You can always find studies to support your belief...

Personally, I choose to believe the studies that have concluded the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest. The existing Blue Zones in the world have convinced me. I choose to get a lot of my protein from salmon, other fish and seafood, and nuts.

I only mentioned my family history because you mentioned my diet and cancer.

Fiber isn't required. There is no causal link that fiber is healthy or necessary. 

I believe a lack of cholesterol in the brain during development causes autism. 

The Blue Zone documentary was proven inaccurate. They downplayed the amount of lamb, pig, chicken, and fish the people ate. 

The Mediterranean Sea has 22 countries that border it. All with different cultures and eating habits. 1/3 of which are heavy meat eaters. 

The "studies" are flawed. Epidemiological studies where they give people a once a year food frequency questionnaire asking them to list quantitatively what they ate. Most people can't remember what they ate last week, let alone for the past year. 

True, we each have to make decisions. I've made mine. Just just want everyone to have the information and make the most informed decision. 

I bring to light the lies we've been told about nutrition since the 1800s. Then people make their decision. 

Unfortunately, the information you are sharing is not backed by science. I choose to get my medical information from Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, both considered two of the most trusted websites by the medical community and Consumer Reports. I also trust the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association, and both would be extremely alarmed by the "information" you are sharing here. Fiber, for example, is well documented and studied as being extremely necessary to help prevent colon cancer, for starters.

You have your beliefs, fine. Swimmers who are reading this: I strongly suggest you ignore the recommendations by this "nutrition counselor" and get your nutrition information from the websites I listed above.
