[quote=Anonymous]Animal protein is more digestible and bioavailable than plant proteins, especially since plants also come along with toxins that cause inflammation to most humans in one way or another. For the past year, I have changed my diet from plant to animal based and experienced amazing results. I limit dairy so I typically eat one to two meals a day, primarily beef, some eggs, and occasionally a Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder as a treat. I no longer drink coffee or wine regularly, but they are not completely out of my diet.

My muscle mass has increased and I have lost fat, over 50 pounds. My aches and pains I attributed to aging have resolved as have my peri-menopausal symptoms, in fact my cycle shows no signs of stopping and I am 51. Most importantly, I reversed some metabolic imbalances and I am medication free!!!

I don’t track my macros, but I do eat primarily fat and protein. Fat, especially for women, is needed for hormonal support and most of us do it get enough on the current American low fat diet.

Maybe try reducing plant intake (including processed carbs) and upping animal intake for a couple of weeks and see how you feel. [/quote]
