"Forks Over Knives" vs meat vs whatever diets
A coworker mentioned this new movie/book/website/craze full of celebrity endorsements. Obviously vegan and vegetarian diets are nothing new but how is this any different other than some PETA celebs raving about how awesome it is?
My coworker went on about how he had went on this diet and lost a lot of weight, dropped his cholesterol by a hundred points, triglycerides cut in half, etc, etc. That was after he quit eating mostly fast food everyday. So yeah, anything would've been an improvement.

I'm far out of my lane but this is what I've been doing lately.
1) Portion control
2) Lower sugar, starch and bread intake
3) High fiber, wheat bran, veggies, lentils, beans, legumes, etc.
4) Little to no fried food
5) Lower saturated fat and higher mono/polyunsaturated fat
6) Small snack of a handful of uncooked nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc. for added protein and Omega-3
7) Low to moderate amount of dairy
8) If I eat fish it's either grilled trout, salmon or shrimp.
9) If I eat chicken, pork or beef I try to keep the portion the size of a deck of cards or smaller.
How am I doing so far? I.e., what seems lacking or am I missing anything critical?
I am not looking to diet to lose weight, just going over healthier food options.

Obviously parallels can be drawn between vegan diets and being healthy but until I see research that says all meat = cancer I'm underwhelmed.
But by all means keep sticking in your loud ass opinion on numerous threads even though you seem to have no desire to chat about the topics at hand.
You're eating meat. That's no vegan. You provided no specifics about the other diet. It's not so complicated that you can't google it.
I'm sorry you were raised delicate and I am too offensive for you, snowflake. I'll throw you a bone though: a pound is 3500 calories. Fat has more calories per gram than protein, which has more than carbs. It required a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound, it doesn't matter if you're eating vegan or McDonalds or snow cones.
