I went plant-based 2 years ago. Lost 20 pounds of belly fat, all blood numbers vastly improved. Same or better in the gym too. Then I bought the book "The China Study" and realized the harsh truth. The common American diet is killing us. We're the most overweight people in the World. Our mortality is going down, not up.
The China Study is a scientific study conducted over 10 years. It's worth the effort to read it.
Good move Danny.
