Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs – Here are some of the questions I’m asked most frequently about adopting a whole food, plant-based diet.

I get asked a lot of questions every day about eating a whole foods, plant based diet so I’ve tried to capture here as many of them as I can with my answer. If your question isn’t covered then get in touch with me and I’ll respond as soon as I can.

Why is a whole foods, plant based diet good for me?

It’ll make you look and feel amazing! Plus, it will effectively help prevent and reverse chronic disease, give you loads of energy and as a bonus if you’ve been carrying around some extra weight you’ll find that it begins to melt away.

Since the 1970s, extensive research studies have been carried out that have shown that eating a whole foods, plant based diet is the key to optimum health. If you’d like to read more about the science behind the claim, take a look in the recommended reading section.

What is a whole foods, plant based diet?

A whole foods, plant based diet is a simple diet that avoids eating anything that has ever had a face or a mum. This means meat, fish, chicken, turkey dairy and eggs are avoided.

That means that grains, fruit, vegetables and legumes are all in.

Whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes – and as much as you want, can be eaten on a whole food, plant-based diet.

To help you get started, read my article How to get started on your plant based journey.

Why should I avoid processed foods?

Eating a whole foods, plant based diet means avoiding refined foods such as olive oil, white rice and bread. Anything that has been through a process and is created artificially or has chemical additives. Whole foods are exactly that, foods that come from whole, unrefined plants.

Any food that has been through a process has been stripped of most of their nutritional properties. This means that the good parts such as healthy fiber, vitamins and minerals have all been extracted.

Why would you want to eat something that nutritionally doesn’t do anything for you?

Not eating meat and eating a plant based diet is just another fad like the Atkin’s Diet isn’t it?

What if I told you that eating meat was a relatively recent thing to do? Eating meat only became popular as Western society, think of Europe and North America became richer and they could afford to eat meat.

The majority of people throughout world history have eaten a largely vegetarian diet and it is still that way in any parts of the world today.

If I only eat plant based food it’s going to be too restrictive and too hard to follow. I’ll never be able to manage it.

There are many different types of foods to eat. It could be said that you’re restricting your diet if you only ever eat meat, poultry, fish and dairy.

It’s very easy to eat meat free and by reading this you’re going to be able to do that very quickly.

If I only eat wholefood, plant based foods, I’m going to need to take supplements like vitamins and minerals.

Everybody is different in what they do each day, what they eat and their genetic make-up. Generally, if you need to take a supplement it’s probably because you have either a health issue or a poor diet.

Even vegetarians and vegans can have bad diets. For instance those that rely on supermarket ready meals and takeaways. Taking a vitamin or mineral supplement will not let you escape your health issue or your bad diet.

If you eat a healthy wholefood, plant based diet then you will more than likely be taking on board all the vitamins and minerals you need. The only exceptions will be vitamin B12 and perhaps vitamin D the sunshine vitamin if you live in the northern hemisphere, particularly during the winter time.

Read more about vitamin B12 and why everyone needs to take it here.

I’m not going to be able to eat enough protein on a plant based, vegan or vegetarian diet

How much protein do you think you need? 10%, 20% , 40%, 50% of your total calorie intake? Well the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein is 8-10% of total calories consumed and even this is high for some people who can get by on 4-5% of total calories consumed.

Unfortunately, there’s a myth that’s been perpetuated for decades that you need animal protein. It was thought that it was a better protein, in fact it’s harmful to us, so harmful in fact that it can promote undesirable growth in our bodies such as cancer cells and atherogenic tissue (essentially when the artery wall thickens as a result of the accumulation of fatty materials such as cholesterol and triglyceride).

Eating plant proteins are better for us as they aren’t that good at promoting this growth in our bodies as we use them less efficiently which is actually beneficial to us. So don’t worry about not getting enough protein, as long as you eat a varied vegetarian diet you’ll be healthy.

Plant foods that contain protein include: grain foods e.g. bread, cereal, pasta and rice, nuts, beans and tofu.

If you’re really fixated on how much protein you’re getting in a day, go to: https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/CreateProfile.aspx to track the nutrient profile of your daily diet.

Plant based eaters, vegans or vegetarians don’t get enough calcium in their diet.

Oh dear, another common misconception. Vegetarian diets are packed full of calcium. You can get it from green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, broccoli, pak choy and collard greens. It’s also in dried figs, sesame seeds, tahini, beans, soybeans, soy nuts and tofu.

Did you know that your bones are constantly changing? They’re always breaking down and rebuilding, so much so that approximately 15% of bone mass can be turned over in just one year.

Read my article: How To Get Enough Protein, Calcium and Iron On A Plant Based Diet for more info.

It’s not safe for children or pregnant women to follow a plant based, vegetarian or vegan diet.

As long as you have a healthy diet with all the necessary amounts of calories, protein, vitamins and minerals for a growing body then you’ll be absolutely fine.

I’m going to get fat eating loads of pasta, rice and potatoes. Carbs are bad for you!

If there’s one myth above all that I’d like to debunk it’s this one. People think that the sugars in starches are very easily converted into fat. They think they’re carrying extra fat on their tummy, hips, thighs and bottom because they eat too many starches.

WRONG!

If you want to read the research:

Hellerstein MK. De novo lipogenesis in humans: metabolic and regulatory aspects. Eur J Clin Nutr. 1999 Apr; 53 Suppl 1: S53-65

Acheson KJ, Schutz Y, Bessard T, et al. Glycogen storage capacity and de novo lipogenesis during massive carbohydraye overfeeding in man. Am J Clin Nutr. 1988 Aug; 48 (2) 240-4

Minehira K, Bettschart V, Vidal H, et al. Effect of carbohydrate overfeeding on whole body and adipose tissue metabolism in humans. Obes Res. 2003 Sep; 11 (9): 1096-1103

Tappy L. Metabolic consequences of overfeeding in humans. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2004 Nov; 7 (6) 623-8

Levine JA. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). Best Pract res Clin Edocrinol Metab. 2002 Dec; 16 (4): 679-702

Mickelsen O, Makdani DD, Cotton RH, Titcomb ST, Colmey JC, Gatty R, Effects of a high fiber diet on weight loss in college age males, Am J Clin Nutr. 1979 Aug; 32 (8): 1703-9.

The research makes it pretty clear that it’s all just a myth. When we eat complex carbohydrates our body breaks them down into simple sugars. Once broken down these simple sugars are transported around our bodies in our blood steam to millions and trillions of cells to provide them with energy.

If you eat more carbs than your body needs, guess what it does, yes it does store about two pounds invisibly in the muscles and liver in the form of glycogen, but once it’s done that you’ll just burn the rest off as body heat and through physical activity such as walking, typing at the computer, doing household chores and fidgeting!

Battle shout definitions Preface

Here it is. massive post combining thought that happened as the battle shout fully emerged as my brand of all disciplines. Fragment - battle shout chapter - Combined story telling segments (Curated from the different WIP posts) EDIT NOTES - these are fragments from my social pages where I am in the battle shout and adventure basics thought. It’s incomplete as it only goes back to a gengar picture in my feed. There is more I still need to add. — Newer to older (will create a 2nd one that is in a final decided order for a reader, may jump between different moments in the time line, kept to a minimum for helping comprehension ——— Whoever offers human growth / wellness at either no cost or a much lower cost than previously widely available is winning in capitalism. I hope to invent the No Cost solution, following the footsteps of tech brands and passionate innovators of our time. Games and medicines altering my state of mind provided me a space within which to BECOME me. They offered me the lesson of re sociating, once I started practice a desire to learn it. Here are some of the problems I inhabited and the solutions I learned after using medicines - ---calorie /nutrition deprivation : solution - making eating easier with hacks like prep, (paper dishes/cutlery), getting timing right, the decision to Breakfast and eat it slowly - replacements like the Soylent drink - medicines that fix appetite IE cbd ----hypervigilance - maybe haven’t fully escaped this one yet. It’s an ongoing conflict - using Medicines that reduce my physical anxiety cortisol which comes through as wheezing escalation attacks and very bad sleep - sleeping correctly makes me feel calmer, breathe/think clearly Medicine examples - coffee, reishi mushroom, cannabinoids, magnesium, L theanine, Lemon balm, Sleep specific - L tryptophan, Zinc, valerian root, doxylamine (unisom) -----Escapism - learning how to use mindfulness and writing to transform my self avoiding into Self Actualization ------Counterdependence - Realizing that sharing/affection and giving affirmation would make me feel good, letting me treat ppl like I deserved their attention (as a provider) not gonna stand by saying nothing while they try to trash gaming and say we are giving kids screen / media addictions, when the only things I even really know I learned from gaming, mostly online blizzard and/or adventure gaming. I’m gonna teach what I learned. It’s battle shout. how we are failing worst as a so called civilized population: Educating the youngest. We are not doing it. We are not prioritizing growth and wellness for the children here. We are breaking their families, parents and guardians instead of supporting. Dehumanism is institution. *witnessing your smiling face is the deepest privilege I will experience in living* We are not gonna save anyone until we recognize that growth is about including everyone, recognizing their individual passions and curiosity, recognizing that they themselves will be the only ones to decide how to be that self, Monetary Value will only every Destroy us all. EVERY one is struggling and i care about EVERYONE, humanity needs a bigger solution than a Lifeline reaction to the symptoms rather than the cause. {If you or someone you care about is struggling, please know you are not alone. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available at 1-800-273-8255 in the U.S. or find support worldwide at ‪https://www.befrienders.org/ }‬ —schools where all gamers, creatives, learners are accepted so that human wellness growth can be placed above the falseness of Monetary Value -- available at nowhere because no innovator yet has cared with their entire life's mission to save those we currently discard. The school I'm trying to invent has a simple Main Value - School is Lunch. The target priority is non monetary. *Monetary Value will not measure our success* Human growth measures it. Human currency. what I would do with the elusive Lottery / Genie situation is create the Ultra Library whose only mission was to include as many human beings in growth wellness as possible, to offer them the place, resources, nutrition, and community safety to build the life they want to create IN essence I am trying to invent a school. I have a seething hatred for the failure of Public sector school, dealing with both neurodiversity concerns and non child centered curriculum design. Self educating is superior. Curation can only help existing curiosity and passion. my huge dream is to innovate the third place concept in fusion with educationalism, gaming cafe, the concept of Feeding every learner because it's more educational- the ultimate capitalism winner is the one whose Patrons flock simply because it is Better. =high contrast videos with songs of numbers, counting, vehicles/ramps, and piles of balls=The young children find these things very amusing. - the wise old teachers find the fact very important to distribute, although they themselves do not find it amusing they find the fact that the tiniest students are amused very important for distribution.== []2[] Operating vehicles or consuming alcohol are the most dangerous and pointlessly risky activities done by anyone (who doesn’t do employment that is specifically danger facing). Most are not qualified for these activities. It’s not safe, please leave it to the professionals few. Giving, the act of providing because I want to see human growth and learning. That’s my freedom to practice. Dehumanism makes it into a crime, after valuing it zero. Dehumanism Institution perpetuates the idea that giving, feeding, teaching, expressing can be penalized as crimes. These are the pillars of MY free speech. Giving, the act of providing because I want to see human growth and learning. That’s my freedom to practice. (Scott Warren who faces up to 20 years in prison for giving food & water to 2 men who needed help in the Arizona desert.) What I’m talkin about is this anti educationalism. Shocked ? That we aren’t already Veterans for standing rock +500K decent human beings SWARMING the sites where this has happened to tell them we won’t stand by as bystanders to Deadly Dehumanism. We are complicit in these deaths. I am not gonna be quiet about this, my brand is built upon radical educating, lifeguarding, human growth. That also means opposing bully bigotry. []3[] There is a bullying situation regarding the spectrum. Happening to one of my closest humans. It is making her suicidal (no one can handle endless mistreatment, then mental health slides) - I learned how to fight off the suicide ideas because I was in a kind of rock bottom near that for 10 years - ultimately, I defeated the boss, and I learned the strategy. learn to Tank at the front of it for the people I’m trying to educate, and keep them here on our Alive team. This is the real deal why I am the tank. The battle shout is to Shine the truth and save your life, you the most brutally dehumanized by the institutions of this economic-dystopia She has to be given the feeling she does have the power and the choice whether to stay here with us, alive. Educationalism is the desire to be surrounded by growth allies, and free from anyone who thinks a decision that reduces or infringes your growth and learning is either ok or even debatable with you Can we get Birth insurance ? I want it to function like life insurance, in the event you are born, the insurance policy covers some assurances. Wait, no, that’s not an insurance plan, that’s what School is meant to be I’ll be over hear spamming battle shout and taunt if you come at me debating seriously over contexts whose choices are outcomes that don’t abuse and compromise a child’s school environment, or hurting the child’s emotional and basic wellbeing. My Aggro will not be exceeded! Let us consult YouTube, young one. Where’s the one about the baby Shark? I will find it for u most easily. If u ever get mad at someone u got road rage or someone is gank camping. Just tell them Yo dude please go hug urself! The time has come To Learn Bout Eating breakfast! If u don’t eat it, ur brain won’t think right, ya Dingus!! Wake up and eat this health, that’s your grade. Welcome to school. Favorite offline activities - social prompt - Activities that take place on beds, furniture or desk. Followed by wandering whether by land, air, or foot. Followed by culinary making. I identify toward the feeling that being burly means being kind - a defender, a watcher, a lifeguard. So it’s cool to see brands grounding themselves in this type of thought. burly man coffee promoted by a podcast i watch Brands that literally hold up kindness and human growth as a piece of their identity are the brands with sanity to shine light in the darkness of economic institutional dehumanization No game except maybe the sims had a soap item, demonstrated a buff benefit for soap. Soap knowledge is something that legitimately is part of human excellence - mind efficiency - educationalism ^^highlight$$ What I am concepting is the fact that valuable education is about human cognitive expansion, making this brain run the way its optimized to run, repetition, medicines/enhancers, the basic sensory reboots. Thinking better, clearer, bigger, quicker, learning ABOUT thinking. {schools get blamed for inability to solve the inequality economics} Entirety of the problem: the loss of investment into human growth and wellbeing. Capitalism forgot human currency value, then got surprised when everything turns shit? School IS lunch. We don’t need schools/tests/graduation. Kids will unschool just fine for the rest, if they are fed, safe, and able to have rest and resources and tech so they can iterate Failure during Curiosity. We need to care about human wellbeing, within our economics. Parents can and will educate. Most of the educating that needs to happen can only really be done by them. Gaming zen works for human growth bolstering because it follows the pattern our brains already know - repetition, the core block of neuroplasticity. This the overarching purpose of my Adventure Basics educational learning plan. As a creative first it’s my quest to harness games, adaptogens, and shamanism/lucidity/psychadelics to find transcendence. We can pair ego repletion with deeper Re-ssociation as an ultimate healing / neurogenesis. This will allow us to grasp mental wellness and human creative excellence. ** [intent statement as disciplines] From the multi disciplinarian standpoint- •Nintendo console 8 - 64 bit thought •Logic puzzles / riddles •classic adventure / role playing •classic FPS •classic dungeon crawl •Modern Adventure (games less about puzzle solving and more about finding all paths in a very large and breathtaking expanse) •Attention + Sensory rich interactive experiences •Primal Rage - the use of violence and intensity in musical and gameplay aesthetics •Cave human Dominance and roles thought deriving from gameplay, aspects of being Front edge protector of the tiniest most important Clan members •Economics Core freedom ideal - the belief that all interaction must be voluntary and the belief in a Best unity of gathered Wills ||||||Final crusade - educating to be correctly seen as: self evident truth about human growth, spanning nutrition, medicines, tools/games/challenges and driven by self voluntary []4[] School is Breakfast Lunch and Dinner plus freedom to explore one’s own sparks to ideas This is what I am teaching with my Wow Classic Adventure Basics educational Learning plans! ~~ One of my most important lessons about video game wellness is a thought from Mike ‪@MikeLICSW‬ Langois, that taking command of a powerful or attractive identity gives us strong boosts of mental ability and cognitive balance ultimately, for small attention cost.
