They are called Mung Beans.

You can get complete protein consumption by eating solely vegetarian, but it is just harder to do. It is easier to consume complete proteins if you also consume some type of animal protein.

Hi Jayson. I am so thankful to receive your Fighting Fat for America video clips. The veggie tip that you mentioned, please SPELL it: did you say MUNG YE? Also, where would we buy this from? I don’t recall seeing this in my grocery store.

Secondly, the most shocking thing about the first clip on clogged arteries is how fast their arteries were clogged! My biggest culprit is Ice Cream–especially Hagan Daaz. My trigy. are high I know because of it. Otherwise, I’ve managed to do the smaller meals with usually a protein, natural carb (in the AM) and PM fiberous carb, protein and sometimes a starchy carb like a baked potato. I am overweight, but working on it.

Jayson , I asked about vegetarian diets and lentils, beans, etc. So you agree you should add some animal protein to lentils cheack peas, etc to make a balanced meal ? It i´sn’t eneagh to have only a cup of benas lentils, etc and vegetables??

Why don’t you talk about it in your show so as to know mor and get better the hole idea??

It depends. For some it could take much longer, but for others it would be quicker. Though those numbers they revealed potentially could be much worse at the 6 hour mark if the food was still digesting at the 2 hour mark.

There is some evidence that shows you can get more nutrients out of your food with all natural farming methods, but others same it is minimal and not worth the increased cost. I believe from what I have seen that locally grown fruits and vegetables using more all natural or in some cases certified organic methods are better for you from a nutrient standpoint. You can usually find locally grown farmers to be cheaper though than buying “organic” from the store.

Cool episode!

Wouldn’t it take more than 2 hours for a meal that large to digest?? What about a follow up 6 and 12 hours later??

Is there adequate evidence that organic type farming methods are superior?

The clear winner in fighting off these ilnesses, flu, etc is good hand washing and keeping things clean. I just watched a report that said they compared other methods and the main culprit is still germs on hands and arms and then touching the face, mouth, nose, eye where they germs can then get into the body.

Obviously eating healthy and getting in plenty of vitamins and minearals through fruits and vegetables, multi-vitamin is all beneficial, but the best thing you can do is keep good cleanliness and wash hands thoroughly as well as not rub hands on your face.

Jayson – thank you for all the great information. Over the past year I have switched my family over to organic food products whenever possible and we saw the doctor a lot less. Sometimes it costs more to eat organic, but when you are spending less money on doctor visits and medications you do come out ahead (and less time off of work or school).
Do you have any recommendations to help boost our immune systems? The numbers of illnesses and deaths that are being predicted with the spread of the swine flu is really scary. I read recently that probiotics are good not only for your digestive health, but also your immune system. Are there any vitamins that we should be taking extra of at a time like this? Thanks for any suggestions!

I think the takeaway of the news video should be don’t eat cheeseburgers wrapped in quesadillas!

A former personal training client of mine told me a co-worker of hers lost 50 pounds JUST by eating one Big Mac at lunch each day instead of two.

Now, is that ideal? No, of course not.

But is it a start to build on? Yes, it is.

Hopefully that man went on to eat zero Big Macs at lunch. Or had one a week.

The point is to get started down the right path and KEEP going down that path.

Where did you read that at?

Without reading it myself and knowing the source I have a hard time believing eating cacao would make you mineral deficient based off my nutritional sciences education. I would be interested in reading this information if you can locate where you read it and I can look into this more. From a quick search though and from what I know education wise as of know I wouldn’t hold much truth to the belief that eating cacao makes you mineral deficient.
