The 2016 Way Less Objectivity thread

Yes, this is balanced to me. But only eating berries and not things like bananas and apples is not balanced.

A bit of everything? OK, may I suggest you include a bit of nicotine, a bit of arsenic, a bit of hemlock, a bit of mercury. After all, you want balance, right?

Just because people habitually put it in their mouths doesn't mean it's good, or essential, or part of this weird mythical "balance".

This dis not fall part of food groups does it? Rather stupid reply.

Fruit has been part of healthy food groups for ages. Only in the last 20 years or less have people been on the Low carb train. This came with the whole paleo diet and eat like a cave man thing. You might as well try the Atkins diet while you are at it.

Your whole diet is based on protien coming from meat that is proven to give cancer.

How is this heatthy?

In this case I would say a little bit of everything is better than a lot of 1 thing.

You sound disparaging of Atkins?
I in fact follow atkins...
Your definition of "food groups" still seems to be "something people seem to like putting in their mouths to eat".

You've been brainwashed, son :)

another question for you. when you are referring to "balanced diet" are you referring to the "food pyramid" as your guide?
 
Lets keep it clean folks, this is a weight loss thread not a diet bashing one...... and I'll have proof to post soooooon.

Ok I'm not going to argue about this with anyone. Me and my wife have been athletes for a long time. We know what food does to body's.
I will just say from personal experience, LCHF only works when you try to lose weight. Ask any long distance runner, Body builder, martial artist. You need certain foods to do certain things for your body. Cutting out certain foods will make a big impact on performance.

Sure, doing a couple of push ups and sit ups each day and then not doing much else is fine if you are doing LCHF.

Just a couple of posts back you will see one guy saying he could not gym the way he wants to when he did LCHF.

Veg/Fruits... or bread/rice/starchy stuff?

In my opinion the right portion of each is healthy. I do not advocate eating a bag of apples each day. I also do not say eat a bowl of rice everyday.

Have some oats for breakfast. Eating a fruit or two during the day and half a potato with your chicken and green veg at dinner. This to me is healthy. And sustainable in the long run.

It depends on the person doing it. For athletes, yes. For people not doing much. No.

I know this from personal experience. Used to compete in National Amature kickboxing events and tried Paleo for a while. It made a huge dent in the way I trained.

My wife, was part of the National Karate team that represented SA 4 times in Japan. Same story when she tried Paleo. Performance dropped like a brick.

**But I do know some people living by Banting and not doing any exercise and feels healthy. They are actually quite skinny as well.

Yah see, your body was not fat adapted yet. When your body is used to a low-fat diet, you need to carbo load before strenuous exercise, so there is extra glycogen for you to get energy from.
When your body is used to fat as its source of energy, it does not use glycolen in the same way.

Many Athletes Are Ditching Carb Loading for Low-Carb, High-Fat Diets

Athletic superstars like NBA players LeBron James and Ray Allen claim to have switched to a low-carb diet with beneficial results.3 Other athletes jumping onto the high-fat, low-carb diet include Ironman triathlete Nell Stephenson, pro cyclist Dave Zabriskie, and ultra-marathoner Timothy Olson. Former Ironman triathlete Ben Greenfield is said to have followed a ketogenic diet while training for the 2013 Ironman World Championships and experienced improved stamina, stable blood sugar, better sleep, and less brain fog.4
