Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

i gained 17 pounds of muscle and lost 20 pounds of fat in 4 months without lifting weights or cardio and simply following vegan diet with intermittent fasting

attia is wrong about tre and animal products

research shows it, as well as anecdotal evidence

the trick is that i eat 100g of protein per day

to give a bit more context on attia (read my review of outlive: yabc.borodutch.com/outlive):

- he's putting anecdotal evidence above scientific studies
- he's dismissing epidemiological research
- he makes basic logical mistakes and falls victim to the same biases rampant across most md's that write books

the reason he decides against tre and veganism is that people tend to lose lean mass on such diets

but that's not the reason — and he fails to see this

the reason is unbalanced uneducated approach to eating

e.g. lack of macro- and micronutrients in diets when people go vegan or start tre

way better approach is taken by the author of "How Not to Die": goodreads.com/book/show/25663961-how-not-to-die

science > anecdotal evidence

because when you use anecdotal evidence you fall victim to biases

scientific research can also be biased, but it is *way* less biased because researchers actively avoid it

so the correct approach is to *educate people on what they must eat* instead of dismissing healthy approaches to food

*increase the protein intake*, don't tell people to eat meat or not to use tre because this will increase the protein intake as a side-effect

we. must. teach. people. to. eat. properly.

education!
