STUDY: 86% Of Vegetarians Go Back To Eating Meat
Some of the results are:
10% of Americans try a vegetarian diet.
2% are still vegetarians.
Over 80% of people who try the diet go off it in a few months.
The major reason for attempting a vegetarian diet is to improve health.
Most vegetarians are young women.
The authors of this study have decided that this information will be useful to devise a strategy to get us all to eat less meat.
Frankly, their conclusions are backwards.
A 2% adoption rate indicates there is something fundamentally wrong with their protocol.
Maybe it's this:
The Primary reason people believe vegetarianism is healthy is because saturated fats are found in meat. And we have been told that saturated fats cause heart disease.
THAT IS NOT TRUE. THAT IS FALSE.
And there has never been any direct evidence that showed otherwise.
As a matter of fact, rigorous research shows the exact opposite:
A new controlled diet study has found that increasing the levels of saturated fat in the diet does not lead to increased levels of saturated fat in the blood. However, increasing the amount of carbohydrates in the diet was found to raise the levels of a fatty acid associated with diabetes and heart disease.Maybe that's the reason their success rate is so low. Not because their Marketing isn't good enough, but because their premise is wrong. People Are Not Stupid- and when they don't get healthier, they go back to eating protein, which is critical for brain function.
This entire lifestyle is perpetuated by hyperinsulinemic young women trying to control their metabolisms. Without the correct information.
Been there, done that. Got really fat.
