Baltimore, MD, Sept. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plant based diets are commonly used to promote weight loss as well as a healthier lifestyle and as a result, people are flocking to this style of dieting without seeking medical guidance. Dr. Nishant Rao, medical director of Diet Doc medical weight loss warns that these assumptions aren’t based on the facts and can lead to some serious health consequences. Dr. Rao says that, “ Plant based dieting is based in large part on The China Study .” The China Study is a pro-vegan book written by Colin T Campbell which observes the connection between animal products and common illnesses. While the book presents a compelling link between protein and such illnesses, Dr. Rao states that The China Study is, “severely flawed using rat models with no following through on long term outcomes, since the study omitted the data that the rats fed higher protein actually lived longer than the ones on the lower protein plant based diet.”
Nevertheless, adding more plants to the diet is always a good decision. However, Dr. Rao says that, “Omitting various types of protein with the sole intent of reducing fat to help with coronary artery disease was the initial purpose. Since then, we’ve come to understand that dietary fat is not a large contributor to CAD and that inflammation and other factors play a larger role.” Essentially, adherence to a plant based diet tends to have more philosophical reasons than health based reasons (which are often cherry picked and lacking the bigger picture). Dr. Rao reiterates the importance that protein has within the human diet. “Humans are generally best served by following an omnivorous diet to which we are biologically suited for with macronutrient guidelines based on body metrics and activity level.” Plant based diets offer no metabolic advantage and in fact, over an omnivorous , medically-supervised eating program tailored to suit each individual’s metabolic requirements like Diet Doc’s is the surest bet for rapid and healthy weight loss.
