Diet Fiction

I felt the film was somewhat bias with its message so I came here to see who sponsored the film, in other words who funded the message but it looks to be missing from the profile. Aside from that, I agreed with most of the film's content. Please remember to think critically and not follow blindly, good health to you all :)

This documentary started out promising, being a strong anti diet nutrition coach I was really hopeful here... BUT the whole thing turned anti meat really quickly. Is some information accurate in this documentary? Yes and no. A lot of it is given completely out of context. If someone watched this without any education they would be led to believe that animal products will absolutely kill you and quick with no redeeming value. 🙄 please just take this for what it is; a few people's opinions with cherry picked data to support them. As they state in the documentary you can find studies to support anything if you look for them.

It seems like some of the reviewers didn't pay close attention to the film. They never say you have to BE vegan. In fact, they say you don't even have to be fully plant-based. The point is to minimize animal products and maximize plants in your diet. Another reviewer wrote "the move more eat less model hasn't worked and never will" - again, the film specifically says that exercise is not where the focus of weight loss should be. Nor do they ever say eat less. It's about optimizing nutrition in your diet while minimizing empty calories. PLEASE actually pay attention to the movie if you are going to review it.

I thought it was excellent and well-informed, and even open-minded toward those who aren't interested in a fully plant-based diet.

Lots of opinion, no evidence. Just a bunch of people talking about their opinions about various diets. Be careful and research the science yourself.

I just can't get over how bad this documentary is. The "experts" talk about ways of eating without knowing anything about them, at one point an "expert" said that Paleo was bad and in the same breath said he didn't even know what it meant. This is just another veganism pushing propaganda film, that tries to hide what it is. They push grain and dismiss food sensitivity, they state that low fat is healthy...have they not opened a medical journal since college? Sure, "bad" fats, but they even called out olive oil! They called Paleo a low carb ketogenic diet, I'm sorry, what? A way of eating that promotes fruit, vegetables, seeds, nuts, eggs, fish and lean meats is not keto. Why is a bariatric surgeon even part of this discussion? His solution to obesity is surgery, not diet. If what he thought about diet actually worked, he'd be out of business. While pushing his low fat plant based diet, he states that paleolithic man probably ate a mostly plant based diet, but then says why would you want to eat a Paleo Diet, they were just trying to survive to 30. So which is it? Shocker, he's vegan. Everything in this documentary is devoid of facts, it is completely opinion. So tired of these in your face Vegan, everybody else is wrong but them opinion pieces being put out there as fact Just awful.
