Eggs and Vegetables: Good Diet?

Need to interchange with egg whites only, with your veggies.

no way; the yolk is much more nutritious than the white. don't be discouraged by the fact that the yolk contains cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol is irrevelant.

if anything you should toss the whites and just eat the yolk

Yeah, the whole cholesterol thing is confusing.

One side says that low carb/high protein is the best diet for humans, and then there's the other side that claims a pure vegan diet is the best.

I'm currently researching this topic because my doctor told me my cholesterol levels are too high and wants to put me on statins. Before I do that, I'm going to learn as much about cholesterol as I can.

yes, very good diet. You can get by without the refined carbs.. no need for rice and grains.

Most vegetables and grains need to be cooked to provide us good nutrients. Raw is good for roughage and fiber, but that's about it for many vegetables. Human digestive tracks aren't designed to digest most raw plant matter except for fruit. Meat, especially raw, takes much less energy to digest (not suggesting raw meat, but putting it in context with a natural human state - pre-agricultural) - no need for extra long intestines and/or colons, no need for more than one stomach - things that strict herbivores need to digest plant matter (things humans don't have).That might be a clue as to what diet is natural / ideal for a human being.

A nurse posted on here a while back saying that they were changing the standards for cholesterol levels so that no one could pass the test - everyone should be on the drugs.

I wouldn't think of taking those lousy drugs if I were you. They are for sure worse for you than cholesterol. Besides I heard your brain is MADE OF cholesterol. Maybe this anti-cholesterol thing is just another way to dumb us down.

Actually, most vegetables need to be cooked. You get some nutrients out of eating them raw, but more if they are cooked (plant cell walls are the problem - indigestible to us and they keep nutrients away from us - think juicer.) Another confusion here is that some of the things we consider vegetables are actually fruit - tomatoes, for example. Eating a raw carrot, say, will, of course, give you some beta carotene, but more fiber. If you steam it, you will get more beta carotene out of the plant. Also, a juicer breaks down those pesky plant cell walls...

i am switching to an Egg and vegetable diet. It will be 80% vegetable 20% egg

Is this a healthy diet.

You are not well informed.

Cooking (or steaming) a vegetable will leave the vitamins and minerals intact but will KILL the enzymes in the food. Freezing does also.

You want the enzymes.

This is the point of the raw food diet.

it's not bad, could be worse

One thing about eggs is this, you should really consider eating the yolks raw. This is because there are lots of nutrients like omega three fatty acids that can be harmed by heat.

On the other hand the egg whites should be coked because there are actually anti-nutrients that are buying to b vitamins in the raw form. Those anti-nutrients are neutralized when the white is cooked.

remember to get high-quality eggs too. Not just your usual store-bought crap. Try to find somebody in your area that raises chickens that's your best bet
