The benefits of red meat vs veggies

The perfect diet, meaning the diet that the human body evolved to eat - consists of 70% or more fat, and the rest protein. The carb compnent is a minute amount (even meat contains a few carbs. The key is that fruits and veggies spike insulin - insulin is the scourge of human health. Insulin is what causes heart disease (not cholesterol). There is also emergin evidence that insulin plays a very large role in cancer. And obviously it is insulin that causes diabetes.
Insulin also makes you fat. And really, getting fat makes you lucky because you have evidence of how unhealthy you are living.

And do not get me wrong - this is not some sort of Atkins diet crap. The Atkins diet was concerned to determine how much carbs you could eat. What I am saying is that you should eat zero carbs.

But it goes beyond not just eating "carbs" - it means the human bosy is not equipped for the taste of sweet. Even "zero calorie" - no sugar, no carb sweetners increase insulin levels. The only thing essential for human beings is meat and water - and the fattier the meat the better.

When it comes to losing fat, it is more about how much sugar (or sugar substitute) you consume rather than calories or dietary fat intake. Hence, the goal is to consume as little sugar or sugar substitute as possible (including fruits and their juices). Why? The sweet flavor elicits the release of insulin from the pancreas to enhance the uptake of sugar by the cells so that it doesn't linger in the bloodstream. Once insulin is released it inhibits your fat burning hormone called HSL (hormone sensitive lipase). This hormone is responsible for releasing fat into the bloodstream to be utilized as fuel. If inhibited, your body is unable to burn fat and will then begin utilizing amino acids (from muscle) and carbohydrates as fuel. This will leave you feeling tired, grumpy, and sloth-like toward the end of the day. Not to mention, you will become abnormally hungry. Those with large amounts of HSL burn fat all day and look thin and slim. Those who inhibit it by eating or drinking the wrong substances grow fat throughout their adult years.
