Exlpain how?

Well assuming from just eating the foods you mentioned there is not a good balance of macro-nutrients. For example if a pure vegetarian kept eating just veg and no meat,no protein, they would start to have problems with their bodies and eventually even death because of this. Your body needs a good balance of carbs, protein, and fats aka macro nutrients.

That makes every fruit and vegetable in existence unhealthy. As well as all grains... oh and meat contains glycogen.

The key is moderation.

Inb4 clean foods only?!??!!

Nah he'll be fine as long as he has enough fruit and veg

No he wont. Whole milk in not for over 5 year olds. And mcdonalds is awful.

lol you have no idea what you're on about.

All of those natural foods have PROTEIN(vegetables), CARBS(fruit), FAT(nuts).
Every natural food has every vitamin and mineral need (except B12 due to modern farming).

As long as a vegetarian/vegan eats over 2000cal then they will have every nutrient, even more than others.

Then why does my body produce lactase?

And it's not the most nutritionally great food, but as long as he's having something decent in his other meals.. again.. he'll be fine.

I like how you missed my point on sugar as well

i repeat, i said a good balance. There is no doubt just eating that for the rest of your life you will start to have problems. They are different types of proteins your body needs and you won't get all of them from just vegetables. (same applied to fats, your body needs a variety so a good balance is important)

Depends on whether your including nuts, pulses and other protein rich foods in your diet. There's plently of perfectly healthy vegans out there. Check out BKS for example. :smile:

Where I made you look silly when you said sugar is bad

And yes it contains fat... why is fat bad? In moderation.. you need it. I won't say it's healthy to be completely brazen with your fat intake, however in moderation.. it's fine.

I never said just eat vegetables.

And you can get all the amino acids from a diet of.
Fruit. Veg. Nuts. Cooked Starches.

Since I've been eating this way my blood sugar has reduced, I have lost weight and I am 100x healthier.

I was just giving an example of a so called "pure vegan" :tongue:

Ohh also another thing (jus saying) eating fatty foods doesn't necessarily make you "fat" it's having too many calories over your maintenance that does.
