Question:

What do you think about the no dairy , no animal fats , no fish such as rip endorses?

— mike janeta

Answer:

Absolutely. I'm 100% on board the whole food plant-based diet. This is what I've been teaching for 12 years. I've seen enormous benefits with my clients from you know, little minor. Disruptive kind of symptoms, you know, like heartburn or reflux or rashes or skin issues acne. And I've seen an elimination of these things overnight and all the way towards seeing people literally reverse their cardiovascular disease literally reverse their type 2 diabetes. We see this within days within days. And so that would be a perfect, you know back to my the new book that's coming out the idiots guide to plant based nutrition it explains why all the health advantages and then how how to navigate eating a whole food plant-based diet, but the whole purpose of animal Foods is you know, not only do they have all those things I was talking about the saturated fat. They said the excess essential amino acids. Animal Foods also are they concentrate nutrition, you know, they concentrate these things throughout their lives. So, you know, you can get B12 from animals, but that's because they're eating the dirt and their concentrating that nutrient and you could also get excessive amounts of like for instance in fish and get excessive amounts of mercury and dioxin and pcbs and all these other environmental toxins that accumulate in the oceans and basically animals are you know, they're consuming throughout their lives and their processing these things and you're eating their tissue which contains all of these residues and over a period of time. So it's better to cut out the middle fish or the middle cow or the middle chicken and just eat those nutrients directly. So I always like to say with respect to protein but this is also what's with respect to other nutrients you eat those nutrients directly from the plants because the plants create those those products all those nutrients or you can eat the animal that eat those plants and get the same nutrients but in a better nice attenuated way, so it's not too much of the bad things and Just enough of the right things.
