Actually you don’t kill plants when you pick their fruit. If you pick their leaves to make lettace the plant still lives. If you pick their apples the plant still lives, if you pick corn the stems of the plant still lives. Thus it isn’t murder

PROFLOP1,
I as a vegetarian, agree with you to the extend of classifying meat as murder which doesn’t work, unless eating plants will also be considered murder. Otherwise there is no way to justify the: “meat is murder” statement, as it will fall apart with hypocrisy.

Weight Loss with a Low-Carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or Low-Fat Diet
Discussion
In this 2-year dietary-intervention study, we found that the Mediterranean and low-carbohydrate diets are effective alternatives to the low-fat diet for weight loss and appear to be just as safe as the low-fat diet
. In addition to …
. In addition to producing weight loss in this moderately obese group of participants, the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets had some beneficial metabolic effects, a result suggesting that these dietary strategies might be considered in clinical practice and that diets might be individualized according to personal preferences and metabolic needs.
The similar caloric …
The similar caloric deficit achieved in all diet groups suggests that a low-carbohydrate, nonrestricted-calorie diet may be optimal for those who will not follow a restricted-calorie dietary regimen. The increasing improvement in levels of some biomarkers over time up to the 24-month point, despite the achievement of maximum weight loss by 6 months, suggests that a diet with a healthful composition has benefits beyond weight reduction.

Saying MEAT IS MURDER is being VERY moralistic. I am NOT a murderer nor are 99% of the other people in this world.

Being a nice guy is terrific, But this does not qualify him as an “expert” on diet. He is giving “advice” that greatly effects our health. My suggestion is for him is to stay with his uneducated talents and leave diets to qualified and experienced professionals.

But gorillas have small brains. Humans developed from the common ancestor of us and the chimpanzee Our ancestors climbed down from the trees and ate raw fish and shellfish. This fish diet contains both high grade protein and omega 3 fat needed for our ancestors to vastly increase are brain size. We are nothing like the other primates, so we need a very different diet.

“This guy is funny looking!”
All of the VEGANS in this video are “funny looking”. They all seem to be be substance addicted, probably addicted to sugar. Sugar addiction gives them a staring wide awake look.
So, VEGANS BEWARE !!

I am sorry, I am not SPAMMING !!
ALL of these videos about VEGANS and RAWS diets are nonsense and my idea is to point this out irrespective of what happens to my “credibility”. In a nutshell, these high sugar, high carbohydrate diets are just an ideal recipe for sugar addiction. This can only lead to diabetics.
TIM boasts about not paying any income tax on one of his videos. THIS IS FRAUDULENT !
If you are what you …
If you are what you say you are in your comments and on your channel then please dont stoop to spamming on peoples vids and getting into comment wars, it hurts your credibility. It makes you look just as nutty or worse as you are claiming Ben to be.
PROPFLOP – I am not …
PROPFLOP – I am not a Vegan and I agree with you completely about soy. In fact, I think that about 90% vegans/vegetarians are starting to come around and realize this. I don’t know anything about Ben or Skinny save just a few short vids here on Youtube. However, Tim VanOrden is not a fraud and the running raw project very inspiring and educational. There’s nothing wrong with being a vegan as long as you’re conscious and balanced in your diet.

YOU would care if you were diabetic or a baby boy !!
This Ben NUT is in the same category as Skinny and Running Raw Project: Tim . They are all FRAUDS and need to be exposed as such.

“You wouldn’t be able to comprehend what the majority of this information means. Please, go to med school or at least finish pre-med and THEN conclude your argument, until then- tata!”
SILLY PERSON !
I have a BSc in Chemistry and some 40 years of REAL experience in Industrial Chemistry. This FAR outweighs the little experience a GP has with biochemistry,
You ideas of giving babies VEGAN type diets is completely wrong. You are exposing any MALE babies to estrogen type hormones from SOY MILK.
