If your diet doesn't include multiple foods that derive at least 30% of their calories from protein, you can't win, in my opinion: you wind up either eating too much of the same food and not having enough variety (having bean curd make up 30% of your food energy intake because you need to eat that much to have a healthy protein intake without consuming too many calories), eating too much (having bean curd make up a smaller portion of your food energy for the sake of variety, but consuming roughly the same volume of food energy from bean curd, thereby eating more food in general than you ought to), or simply not getting enough protein for the sake of both variety and moderation.

If only the full text version of that meta-analysis was made public, it'd probably end up looking like the last "big breakthrough meta-analysis proving saturated fats are healthy" that proved their point by replacing saturated fats with hydrogenated oils and white bread. Until the world's leading scientists and doctors accept the data, odds are the data is flawed. Just like Christian scientists who claim they've debunked evolution

You have all manner of fruit, all manner of vegetable, all manner of herbs and spices, all manner of chili peppers, all manner of beans, all manner of grains, all manner of nuts, all manner of seeds, all manner of tubers, all manner of mushrooms. How can you be on a cooking board and think the only non-meat foods are kidney beans and lentils?

>> No.5488343

>>5488171
Kidney beans and lentils are delicious if you add enough healthy fats, and season properly. You should use enough fat so that the beans are kind of creamy and thick nohomo when finished. Or use less oil/butter/ghee/whatever and top the beans with some kind of dairy or other fatty food, but just as a seasoning, not a side dish. Also, hot sauce and pickled vegetables of almost any kind go great with bean dishes.

>refined carbs and processed food isn't the same thing as carbs entirely

Carbs are carbs to my system. For every 10 grams of carbohydrates, regardless of source, I have to inject one unit of insulin. As a result I try to keep myself under 50 grams a day.

Personally I prefer refined (like sugar). I can eat that, inject and my blood sugar never spikes. Its the slow carbohydrates, pasta, or bread, for example, that I hate. My body is still metabolizing it into sugar long after the insulin has depleted itself. I usually end up having to dose again and risk hypoglycemic shock.

Are you overweight? But, isn't type 1 the kind that can only really be managed and not reversed? It seems more like an extreme allergy at that point, not so much that carbs are inherently bad.

Not in the least. I'm 5'9" and 169 pounds (OK, I guess I'm carrying an extra 5 or so from quitting smoking.)

>But, isn't type 1 the kind that can only really be managed and not reversed?
Yeah, I'm stuck with this for the rest of my life, barring any sort of cure.

> It seems more like an extreme allergy at that point, not so much that carbs are inherently bad.
Carbs are converted by the body into sugar for energy, so for a Type1 eating carbohydrates is akin to eating slow acting sugar, in essence.

You're a fucking idiot. The latest research indicates Type1 diabetes is an autoimmune response to a viral infection (surprising numbers of cases arise after the common cold). So given the right circumstances, anyone is theoretically at risk. I contracted Type1 (juvenile) diabetes at age 40, of all things. High levels of stress seems to be a contributing factor as well. At the time I was going through the breakup of a 19 year marriage and was recently laid off.

I weigh less and have a lower A1C (three month blood sugar average) than most "healthy" American adults. I exercise regularly and drink only in moderation. I long distance hike/camp and work 12+ hours a day.

I can only hope you are fortunate enough to not suffer the same "defect" you seem to think I suffer from. Insulin is not cheap, and without insurance can be financially devastating. It can also be physically devastating if you don't stay on top of it every day. Slack off and watch you dick quit working and lose parts of your body one part at a time.

The name of the game is amino acids, not a vague term like "protein." If one food is low in lysine, for example, you can simply eat another food in the day that is high in lysine and problem solved. Vegans and vegetarians can get more than an ample amount of every amino acid.

And buckwhat has a perfect amino acid score, even compared to meat, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
