Amen, because there are things we need in animal proteins which help our bodies remain in hormonal balance. While I will agree that in the plant world there are proteins, they are enhanced with a balance of animal proteins of meat, fish, poultry, and diary. Not just anything mind you, but the best high quality grass fed, free range, and as far as fish goes, you just need to shop wisely when it comes to fish, fresh caught would be preferred. Seeing that some scary stuff comes out of fish farming.

But yes, I agree that animal protein and fat is necessary for our bodies. Yet, all things in moderation. Only eating animal protein/fat, with not enough carbs is not good either.

I agree 100% and the facts are you can't get away from having carbs.
Meals should always include carbs, but they shouldn't be the lion share of your diet. Too much fat on the body causes way too many problems. If we look through history, fat wasn't the norm. Men worked hard, women worked harder, and exercise was also performed by those who understood its importance. When Paul says physical exercise profiteth little, he wasn't telling Timothy not to train, or exercise, but driving home the point that physical exercise wasn't of any eternal benefit. Too much inactivity ends up complicating matters as we get older When you were younger you could get away with more foolishness when it came to eating, and inactivity, but as the body grows older problems crop up from a life time of abuse.

Well, number one to get rid of is bread, wheat is not the emmer wheat of the time of Jesus. So smart carb choices like sweet potato and yams, instead of white potato. As far as price goes I look at it this way, not eating properly, and exercising regularly, will end up costing you ( and your family) in the long run. Also exercise isn't just cardio, but it has to be weight training whether that is achieved by training with weights, or by calisthenics you must put that into your routine.

Getting rid of wheat/bread products in your diet is soooo hard. I have been on the South Beach diet in the past, and the hardest part was when we had to be away from home. I was fine eating healthy at home, but going to fast food restaurants, other people's homes, or church functions where there is really no healthy alternative on the SB diet... now that was tough. I found on the SB diet, eating more protein and vegetables, with good carbs that I felt great. It is just hard, in this American carb-dense world we live in to be able to eat like that for the rest of your life. Then when you cave in, it seems like all the fat cells come out of hibernation, and invite all their friends to the party lol!

You can continue eating your proteins with good carbs if you just keep an eye of your choices when you are out there. Even if it is fast food, discarding their poor excuse for bread "so bleached it glows" and just focus on all the good choices you have. Good fats is what burns fat, carbs doesn't bring anything out of hibernation it creates the fat cells, and the body is no longer burning them for fuel because you gave your body something easier to eat, and that is carbs. Remember America wasn't built on carbs it was built on diary, meat, fish, and poultry. Lard was used in cooking, beef tallow was used in cooking before deadly corn oils made it into our frying pans.
