We basically came to learn, through the CHIP program, that eating excessive amounts of animal protein contributes to the three big killers--heart attack, stroke, and cancer. It began to make sense to us that our diets are typically WAY too weighted on the side of animal protein and fat. Then there's the fact that cow milk really isn't created to be digested by humans. It's created to be digested by calves who will grow to be humongous cows.
So what I'm not saying is that one should never eat meat or dairy. All I can tell you is that since we cut way back on the aforementioned, our bodies are working beautifully. Less sugar, more fiber, less fat and animal protein = really good health.
Others who are on the chip program have been able to get off all or some of their prescription medicines. And the program has also helped many people to get rid of type 2 diabetes. Not to mention making everyone much more regular! :)
Anyway, lest you think we're wasting away, we get plenty of protein through nuts, soy, and grains that are quite high in protein. Don't get me wrong, I still like meat and dairy, but if we do eat it, it's more of a condiment or a side dish.
Not buying it? You like your meat and cheese too much? Just try one thing, then--learn how to cook oat groats for breakfast or fix a big bowl of oatmeal with only a little maple syrup. After a few days, you'll be surprised how it keeps you going throughout the morning.
Cheers!
