To all those supporting plant-based diets and a reduction in meat consumption for health and climate, I thank you. In the last 6 months, the personal nutrition consulting side of my business and practice is booming.

Most people aren’t working out as hard as I am, but the thread above matches my experience. Consuming animal protein really makes my muscle soreness go away very quickly. Plant proteins and protein shakes help, but not nearly as quickly or as much. Also, I have a lot more energy when I eat meat vs. anything else even apart from soreness and recovery. If I were forced to a plant-based diet, even heavy on protein, I think I could work out 1-2 times a week vs. the 6-7 times a week I currently do.

Also, I noticed this as well:

EAT limits starchy veggies like potatoes & cassava flour (high glycemic index). Neither grain- and legume flours, nor high glycemic index fruits are restricted, allowing processed food companies to sell pasta, cereal & juices. No wonder that Barilla, Kellogg’s & Dole support EAT.
