Nutrients/Support Needed On A Plant Based Diet
It’s no secret that a plant- based diet is filled with anti-nutrients, heavy metals, estrogens, and high in PUFAs. Plants are also not nearly as bio-available as a traditional animal-based seasonal diet. Throw in the highly processed plant-based meat/dairy alternatives and you have yourself a malnourished, toxic shit storm.
It is also no secret that humans on a plant-based diet end up with anxiety, depression, acne, increased aging, digestive issues, hormonal probs due to all the nutrient deficiencies and imbalances it creates. I see it everyday in my practice.
Humans were designed to eat seasonally the way nature intended.
The idea that we would consume plants all year long is due to modern availability.
And shocker but most plants and cruciferous vegetables are man-made, nature never intended for you to eat them in abundance in the first place.
Guess what is available all year long in all areas of the world? Animal derived foods like meat, dairy, and eggs. Fruits and vegetables should be eaten seasonally.
Why? Because this is how nature intended for us to eat. Animals have different stomaches to break down toxins and absorb nutrients from plants so we don’t have to.
We live in a highly influenced world were people only have the desire to be thin and everyone just wants to be something, they want to be seen, they want to have a label, and sometimes that involves a diet label - these desires are interfering with our physiology as humans.
But Laura, I feel so good on a plant based diet (a girl covered in acne, anxiety ridden, bloated, a slave to her digestive system and missing her period)
Keep in mind there is a big difference between fat loss, muscle loss and your body eating itself + artificially suppressing symptoms. People think plant-based diets “saved them”, keep telling yourself that, hit me up in a few years.
Eating should be simple, intuitive and traditional as it always was before diets and the industrial revolution decided to fuck things up. It shouldn’t take a scientist to turn plants into things they were never intended to be.
Stop fighting your physiology and eat according to nature.
