Nuts bad for heart according to esselstyn

[Levin]

tbh, it's a bit weird. What's your motivation for that diet?

The egg is full of cholestrol. One is about 80% of your recommended intake in a day isn't it?

Otherwise, too much fat and saturated fat. You shouldn't base your diet on that.

Personally I prefer whole foods, plant based, lowish fat. Most of my diet is centred on whole grains, legumes and vegetables.

Yesterday I had family around and obviously you eat differently. I probably ate 5 big meals and still couldn't fill myself up. One was probably 1000 calories alone. Wouldn't surprise me if I ate in excess of 3000 calories. Lots of dairy, eggs, and refined grains.

Know what the difference is? I'm used to eating fibre. Fibre fills you up. Whole grains aren't bad as they use the entirity of the digestive system, rather than the cheap sugar highs of refined carbs and simple sugars.

[fuddly]

The experts haven't decided it's eggs are good or bad
Last i heard eggs were okay
But i agree, low cholesterol is the goal.

[Levin]

I wouldn't say they're bad. I just think they need to be eaten in the right proportions.

The 'experts' have the population in a state of perpetual sickness. I recommend the books the China Study and How to prevent and cure Heart Disease by Dr Cardwell Esselstyn. Some very interesting studies in those. By all means, there is probably no perfect diet, but it's an important counterweight to the mass of nonsense out there.

[fuddly]

Caldwell Esselstyn is available on YouTube. Even better.

[fuddly]

Hey i appreciate that info Levin
Watching it now

[Levin]

No problem, mate. I'd say I follow that kind of diet about 90% of the time but I also do cheat sometimes. It all depends on what you're trying to achieve.

[fuddly]

What i discovered from the doctor Caldwell is whole foods
And greens. And i like peas and green beans

[Levin]

Tbh I still eat nuts. I just try not to over eat them cause they're fatty. If your health is bad then yes you should be more careful.

[fuddly]

It seems in my list only bananas are acceptable to esselstyn

Nuts are addictive and high in oil

Eggs just as bad as chicken

[fuddly]

Whole food plant based nutrition with no oil

That's where it's at for a healthy heart

[Levin]

I think he is correct. But I would also avoid extreme eating. Personally, I eat some nuts and I'm not too fussed about it.

[Levin]

Long term sustainability is also important, and for that I think it's important to enjoy your food and eat what your body feels like it needs, too.

There are many factors involved in health. Such as nurturing social relationships, having a reason for being, etc.

I think a low fat, whole foods plant based diet is correct for me. But again, I would caution against being too prescriptive with what you eat. But experiment and see what works for you.

[Levin]

I also eat eggs and fish, occasionally.

[The_Sexpert]

Just these 3? Not very good especially if you just eat these 3 for long periods of time

Because there are nutrients that these 3 does not have.. and after a prolonged continuation of this diet you'll develop serious deficiency of those missing nutrients

[fuddly]

Probably i phrased the question wrong
Say i eat those few times a week

[Anonymous]

All those foods are whole and unprocessed usually, that’s good but if you’re only eating those three things, you’ll miss out on a lot of vital nutrients.

[Musclegaragefitness]

That sounds like a desirable diet! Eggs supply protein, nuts have wholesome fats, and bananas supply herbal sugars and potassium. But make sure to consume specific ingredients to get all the nutrients your physique needs, like fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean meats. Adding veggies to your omelette or ingesting different proteins can help you remain healthy.

[slatyb]

It could be if you are getting complete protein and all needed vitamins. I don't think any of those foods contains vitamin C, and I'm not sure about the others.

[fuddly]

I take vitamin c tablet daily

[Lokiion]

Assuming this just breakfast if it is this is pretty good

[fuddly]

Breakfast is porridge

Lunch... Crackers, cheese, bananas

Dinner: omelette

Then, snack on nuts

[Lokiion]

Than no this is healthy

[Lokiion]

Isn’t*

[JacobJordan]

You need some dairy and you need other minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids which you can't get from just eggs, nuts and bananas

[Iron_Man]

Good, but you gotta eat other things not just that all day long every day

[Agent_Elflord]

Sounds good to me, lots of extra veggies you can throw into that omelette too.

[fuddly]

Yes
It's not exclusive to those
So into the omelette goes tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese

[Alex-Snow]

It is far better than most!

[sheikalana]

Are these the only foods you can eat?

[fuddly]

No it's just a fitness buzz I'm on.
Lose weight around the middle.
Also doing kit more exercise, cycling and gym

[sheikalana]

I mean those are good foods to include on a balanced diet but you also need other nutrients that can be found on other foods.

[Lara_Croft]

where's the steak?

[fuddly]

I might have occasional steak. These are just the main ingredients.

[strateguy632]

no vegetable!

[OtterMan68]

no greens?
