Extremism vs. Moderation (was Re: Insulin resistance etc)

[Guest guest]

Why is fish one of the best sources of protein? How is the protein in

fish better than say spinach or lima beans, or even better yet a large

salad of mixed greens and lugumes?

Jeff's advice of only a small piece of fish (3.5 ounces) several times

per week is almost a vegan diet. Jeff's advice seems to be consistent

with 's research, unless I've missed something, and with my

comments that less animal products and more plant sources of nutrition

is better.

With regard to the comments by the others, I disagree with Tony's

lower limit of 14% bodyfat for women. I think it may be too high, too

" safe " so personally I'm going lower. I'm not telling you too.

Rodney's analysis is also inaccurate; I have no clue where he came up

with the figure 5'6 " for my height? Never have I mentioned or posted

my height on this list, which by the way is a tad over 6 foot. I'm

very long and lanky and small boned.

But this has no relevance to 's research which was the point

of my post so I have no idea why it was mentioned in the first place.
