They are not tempting till you get addicted though. I broke that cycle. I crave what my body actually needs now!

What I actually meant is that things like the skin on a chicken (fattier) is less appealing that the lean meat because it feels gross to eat. Veg in oily dressings also turn into a soggy mash – The freshness disappear when you add butter or oil.

The nation is addicted to foods loaded with unsaturated fat. So I don’t see how you can make the case that fruits and vegetables taste so much better than fatty foods. They add unsaturated fats to practically all processed foods to make them taste better and sell more.

Meat fear and animal fat fear is a myth started by economist Ancel Keys in 1950. Meat takes 10 times as much land to make as grain. Meat costs 20 times more money to transport and store because of refrigeration. Food is the biggest drain on a nations resources. People must eat every day. They started animal fat fear to improve the economy and the food industry makes more profit.

If you consult a chart that gives the quantity of vitamins provided by various raw foods, you will no longer think fruits and vegetables provide more vitamins than meat, dairy and eggs. vitamin c is an exception, but, as you’ve said, you don’t even need vitamin c if you don’t eat carbs.

Fruits and vegetables have actually more vitamins than meat. But if you stop eating sugar, your body will need less vitamins… if in doubt eat some raw liver and everythings fine.

I lost 20% of my body weight not counting carbs, going hungry or eliminating Carbs ( Oh delicious carbs!). I feel tired after eating fatty foods or loads of meat products… Fruit and rice is awesome:)

@fatisgoodforyou I never said it was, but it sure helps create a larger caloric deficit
