[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating mostly plant based, whole foods has helped me maintain a healthy weight for the longest period in my life. This has been the only way I was able to stop eating ultra processed foods and eating too much sugar without feeling hungry or deprived (once I got over craving those things).

If you are at all open to it, there are many credible resources and you could incorporate this in to your whole family's meals versus you eating something different.

Plant based does not have the same satiety and it's when I developed PCOS and started losing hair, it is too much starch for many leading to insulin resistance. IR is strongly linked to mood issues, for example a Stanford study found it doubles the risk of major depression. Switching back to an omni diet with a focus on protein gave me satiety, makes it much easier to lose weight when losing the driving hunger that comes with a diet high in starch that is lacking key nutrients that need to be suboptimally supplemented.

It may be better than a SAD diet initially, but kids and middle aged parents can really benefit from plenty of high quality bio available protein. Eating a lot of eggs, fish, meat and poultry my hair fully regrew. We are made of amino acids, plant based is not optimal nor ancestral, especially for a woman hoping to be pregnant soon or for growing kids. Even with supplementing B-12, etc, I had issues. And many of the common plant based protein sources are highly processed as well as not being particularly well absorbed. [/quote]
