| | | Is There a Downside to Plant-Based Eating?
(Anti-Nutrients) | | | | | | | Introduction:
There is tremendous interest in "plant-based diets" right now.
Environmentally, this can be an excellent thing. But there is a sense, I think, that "Plant-Based" also means "healthy," and this isn't strictly true. | | | | | | | | I've had many patients and acquaintances talk to me about how they are converting their diets to "plant-based," assuming that this is the same as a "healthier diet."
The following article sheds some needed light on the idea that "plants are healthy, animal products are unhealthy."

| | | | | | | In my quest to identify the most effective way of eating, I came across something that has caused a paradigm shift in my thinking on many "healthy" plant foods. | | | | | | | | I first need to preface my article on the fact that I have been a "huge" advocate of eating a plant-based diet with minimal meat consumption for as long as I can remember. My diet typically consisted of drinking a morning smoothie with every type of plant food (spinach, beets, almonds, chard, seeds, etc.) with plant-based protein powder. My lunch was a big salad with more spinach, assorted greens, nuts, and some protein. Dinner was a plate rich in plant foods and some protein. I commonly would eat broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, beets, etc.
My long-standing question was why in the world was I feeling so bad? Irritable bowel syndrome, joint pain, diarrhea, brain fog, anxiety, difficulty losing weight (fat).
Of course, this does not fit what we have been informed about this way of eating for most people. Of course it was healthy!
So I just pushed forward and continued to eat this way, believing that it was the price I had to pay to be healthy.
But I wasn't!
My dear wife, Debbie, frequently went to bed with an ice pack on her right hip and right knee. Chronic constipation was the norm. Stuck at an unacceptable weight level was frustrating.
Again we faithfully continued to eat this way, accepting and "preaching" the ultimate benefits of eating an abundance of plant-based foods.
I really never challenged my "strong" belief in eating mainly plants and some protein. One look at my extended library of books would convince anyone that I was on board with plant-based diets, hook, line, and sinker!
By pure coincidence, I came across a book on some of the downsides to eating a heavily plant-based diet.
At first, I was appalled at the thought that plant-based foods may not be the best for "ULTIMATE" health and well-being.
Like I love to do, I dug into the literature and read everything I could on some of the negative effects of eating many plant-based foods.
Wow, what I learned was an eye-opener!
Since tweaking my diet and reducing some of the more toxic plant foods (will discuss shortly), all of the above symptoms vanished. I effortlessly lost weight. My wife, Debbie, was totally free of right hip and knee pain. No more ice bags! And to top it off, she hit a goal weight she tried to accomplish for at least five years!
My thinking and beliefs in a heavily plant-based diet changed.
Today, my goal is to share what I learned, and I hope you give me the time of day to at least listen with an open mind to what I am about to share with you. It could be the tipping point to reversing many chronic, long-standing health issues for many of you reading my article.
