But that was only a doctors opinion based on the doubling rate of the cancer.
Some people think poorly of ground beef because "you don't know what's in it!" But moments later will tell you it's important to eat all parts of the animal because they have different nutrients. Ok then, sounds like ground beef is a good way to get different portions a butcher doesn't think sells well. Give me some foot meat, bring it on.
There's also the fact that beef is basically the one food you could eat alone 365 days a year your whole life and get everything you need. That doesn't apply to vegetables or chicken or anything else really.
Tldr; many people would say someone that eats a HUGE salad and some meat everyday, no breads or processed garbage would be healthy. Well, drinking 10 lbs of vegetables and having some ground beef is basically that except you're drinking more vegetables even that most people could ever eat in a day.
Do you have some sources to back this up? I was under the impression that you should really eat red meat in moderation, but this might be outdated info.
Once your teeth fall out from scurvy you'll be glad the beef is ground so you don't have to chew as much.
Beyond that, I said to drink a gallon of fresh vegetable juice daily... I think they'll be alright.
Because drinking 10 lbs of vegetables is doable, but eating them is almost impossible raw. If you cook them, it's still hard to eat 10 lbs of vegetables and you've killed a lot of nutrients. Because it gives your body a break from digestion.
You'll feel a lot better.
Edit: even those that think the idea of vegetable juice curing anything is goofy basically have to admit that it forces you to avoid process junk for 90 days, and 'eat' tons of vegetables only. Which in itself is bound to fix a decent amount of things bothering people. You could argue that someone could just eat the vegetables, but it's very hard to get 1000-1500 calories just eating (chewing) raw vegetables. So juice them for 90 days. You won't feel too weak, and you'll give your body a break from digestion and from processed garbage.
But you don't say why and how it's relevant to the topic at hand.
Anybody can come up with "eat vegetables". "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
1, most people don't enough of it anyway.
2, I didn't say I came up with. I said I think a massive dose of vegetables for 90 days, that are ultra easy to digest because most fiber has been removed, is beneficial.
3, I didn't say mostly plants. I said all plants. If you try to do that, you'll have a LOT of trouble getting 1000+ calories doing it. Juicing them makes it possible.
But to your first point.. this thread was about people feeling terrible for months after an infection. We don't even know how or why they feel terrible. My advice was to try juicing vegetables, and not eating anything else, for 90 days. Because it has made MANY people that have tried it into believers.
Out of people that have tried it, I'd say 40% think it's a miracle process, 50% think it's very good for you, and 10% think they didn't feel any different.
Out of people that haven't tried it, 10% believe it would be great for them but they dont have the willpower to try it. The other 90% are usually negative about it without really having any good explanation.
The idea of this temporary diet is to give your body time to live off only vegetables, with limited digestion effort. Even if you don't care about digestion, it is hard to eat, even blended, enough vegetables to maintain energy/calories/body weight. Even blended, I don't think you could eat 10 lbs a day for 90 days. That's the main benefit.
Unless you have an actual major sugar problem, I wouldn't worry too much about the sugar spike from juicing. We do much worse things than that to our body. Heck, some people even drink alcohol.
I think this is worth doing once every few years at least for 90 days.
Because if second that sounds like a terrible idea. If first you might have a good point as long you make sure to get the necessary nutrients etc.
90 days is a very long time, please talk to a doctor or nutritionist before attempting anything like this.
You may also look into the fact you’re eating a zero-fiber diet. I’ve read something about that actually helping with IBS symptoms, it could explain any improvement you see vs the content of the diet which honestly doesn’t sound great.
What do you even need all this fiber for, especially for 90 days? You're not eating heavy grains or meat that you need help pushing through.
Lol to the idea of eating tons of vegetables not sounding great.
People think nothing of going on vacation and eating poorly and drinking for 7+ days straight.
But tell people you should try atleast 7 days of vegetable juice only and they start looking at your sideways. Say 30+ days and they'll warn you it's dangerous. Say 90 and they'll think you're going to die.
I promise you more people are dying from pizza and beer than vegetable juice for 90 days.
It's not just "tons", it's exclusively vegetables which is probably fine as long as you make sure your diet is balanced.
However only drinking "juices" certainly for 3 months seems a bit wacky (of course it still depends on the specific fruits/vegetables). Chances are you'll consume significantly more sugar and significantly less protein and fat (of course fiber deosen't seem to matter..) compared to actually eating those vegetables/fruits directly. Which seems like a horrible idea..
Carrots, cucumber, celery, beets. 90 days.
I think this is an experiment everyone should do at least once in their life.
Tldr; I think fresh vegetable juice and cooked ground beef is the ideal diet long term.
