Re: [fast5] Re: Fast-5 and Atkins

B-12 is produced by a bacteria that grows in the soil. Traditionally we got B-12 from some soil still being on the plants we ate. Cows, pigs, chickens and all other animals got it from the soil too. Now that doesn't happen. The soil that our crops grow in is covered with chemicals and depleted. Today even the animals that we eat get B-12 from supplements.

Think of an elephant, one of the largest animals on earth, and vegetarian. how could it survive if a vegetarian diet is so deficient?

But they are the only source of B12.  Just sayin'!

Really, no protein? How do you remove it from the grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit?

beef, poultry and fish have 7 grams of protein per ounce.

soybeans have 10 grams/ounce, lentils have 6.5 grams/ounce, potatoes have 5 grams/ounce.

as for grains - barley has 19 grams in a cup, couscous is 22 grams/cup, whole grain wheat is 16 grams/cup.

Animals are not the only source of protein!

Hey Rick

 

Thanks for the info. I am pretty good about what to follow, though I didn't know about the website. I basically like to have a list for when I go shopping. 1. This keeps me honest, 2. It gives me ideas for what I want to cook, 3. I try and stay away from certain fruits and vegetables that normally are considered good for you, but are higher on the index (like red delicious apples, or carrots).

I don't eat dairy myself and other than wild caught fish (never farmed) I don't eat proteins. Just don't care for it. So, for me grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, etc are the mainstay of my diet. You know, you live it too. :)

Thanks again.

Sincerely

Jennifer Lupo, D.M.
