Tl;Dr plant diet appears to be better with lower risk

It was a study of studies. The studies were meta analysis.

In other words this study used zero direct observational studies.

No one has ever fed one person a meat diet and another person meat free diet and shown there to be a increase or decreased risk of heart disease.

Daily reminder that Hong Kong has one of the highest meat consumption per person in the world And one of the highest life expectancies.

India has some of the lowest meat consumptions in the world and one of the lowest life expectancies.

So clearly meat is not the demon some of these biased studies make it out to be.

It's amusing to me people consider, say, the SAD as "meat-based", when the average american gets about 70g of red meat per day.

Yea I definitely don't consider the SAD diet meat based since they insist 45-65% daily food should come from carbs. According to the USDA I should be eating 300-400grams of carbs per day which is just insane to me. Based on my fam history it guarantee I will be a diabetic. On any day I eat maybe 0 to 30g of carbs from whole foods. The liver is always producing endogenous glucose there is no need for dietary carbohydrates. The USDA's guidelines are an absolute disgrace.

That's a pretty low carb intake. I do a good bit of cardio and will cramp really bad when I'm under 50g of carbs.

I try to only get carbs from fruit, milk, and potatoes to keep the carbs clean.

My common sources of carbs are potatoes (microwaved, then chilled in the fridge, consumed cold), stone fruits, citrus, apples, berries, avocado, peanut butter, peppers, tomatoes, yogurt, fermented vegetables.

I dont get cramps but I do supplement magnesium glycinate or taurate daily you may want to look into that if you havent.

Ive fasted for multiple days and done cardio each day w/ no cramps, just sharing my experience.
