What do you think are good macro ratios to lose weight and maintain? I was cutting protein and increasing fat for a couple of weeks, saw some weight loss and after a while, just never felt full or craving protein constantly. I was having a green smoothie and some eggs and cheese for lunch. Perhaps my body is used to more protein the meat-form vs plant-form? I'm not sure.

I eat meat because I like it, now as the years go by each time I feel less the need and the desire to eat meat, I suppose that one day the meat will no longer be seen as a staple food. Any way in my country is so expensive that we can only eat it from time to time

I hope I don't sound rude. You have stated many scientific facts about Amino Acids that can be rather difficult for a regular like me to understand even though I tried to read through. My main concern about health is really about the need to slim down. I did hear some info about proteins related to slimming down in the past. Anyway, if I can try to maintain intake of 9 essential amino acids from plants and reduce intake of meat, can I slim down naturally without exercising? I am presently 45 years old so metabolism rate definitely has slowed down.

It looks like hemp seeds, avocado and lentils are reliable sources of most of these, though the overall takeaway for me is that one doesn't need to worry about this too much if they're eating diversity.

I'm slowly converting back to veganism after several years away from it. One of my primary worries are high lectins in the diet, which can wreak havoc on the body. It's this something you've looked into and have thoughts on?

I went through a long period in my youth where my quest also led me to food investigation. I share your views for the most part and also understood by '85 what you're saying about amino acids. a living whole food diet is as good as it gets but I also have no problem with the paleo diet especially for those who hunt and gather their own foods.
As an old geezer I can say this topic doesn't hold my passions anymore although I did pick up superfood smoothie ingredients today.

Chia, hemp, tumeric, cbd oil, cocao, cocomut milk, almond milk, and i add fresh fruit and veges.
stay well kenny!
