People are warming up to plant-based alternatives

Deciding to pick up a new diet can be considered a pain and a major hassle. On the other hand, choosing to pick up an entirely new lifestyle and change your entire eating habits is a completely different story. It can be a very fun and exciting time in your life, but it is also a time in your life that will require a bit of effort in order to make the right decision.

A ketogenic diet -- which provides 99 percent of calories from fat and only 1 percent from carbohydrates -- produces health benefits in the short term, but negative effects after about a week, researchers found in a study of mice.

The Melbourne scientists behind the low FODMAP diet fear they are losing control of their invention - to celebrities and Instagram influencers.

Yes, one year, not one month. If you expect to lose 15 kilograms in one month and without any effort, then you may have to be over 150 kilograms. Even then you will find it struggling. Having that out of the way, I want to start this article by saying that during 2019 I lost 15 kilograms and I could’ve lost more. But having consistency is where I struggle the most.

Concerns about health and climate, rather than animal welfare, appear to be behind the trend

One in five of the world’s deaths now caused by diets which are overly high in salt, fat and lacking in fruit, veg and fibre

A video recently doing the rounds on Facebook included a segment from the BBC comedy quiz show QI. The video asks which of avocados, almonds, melon, kiwi or butternut squash are suitable for vegans. The answer, at least according to QI, is none.

That's the equivalent of about six standard Oreos. But this modest reduction in calories could have protective benefits for our hearts, a new study finds.

The time of day a person eats may help determine whether they can lose weight, new findings show. Fasting from time to time or eating earlier in the day may help people lower their body mass by reducing their appetite, according to research published Wednesday in Obesity. This meal timing strategy seems to be a more successful weight loss method than just burning calories, the researchers say.

New Zealand's dairy industry is arguing consumers are being misled if the term "milk" is used for plant-based products such as almond or coconut milk, but consumers are savvier than that.

Go ahead, grill a burger. Going vegetarian can help our climate a little bit, but it's an inefficient policy to try to push on people worldwide.

On the other hand, headlines have hit out saying that this new research is nonsense, and that it could be deadly if people start eating more meat. This seems like a contradiction - either red meat is or isn't good for us, surely?

A vast new analysis looked at 15 different food groups, like nuts, fish and red meat, ranking them based on how they influence health and the toll they take on the planet.

Move over, apples — new research from Penn State suggests that eating one avocado a day may help keep “bad cholesterol” at bay. According to Penn State researchers, bad cholesterol can refer to both oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and small, dense LDL particles.

Another excellent talk from ZDoggMD.

A vegan has reportedly filed a federal lawsuit, saying the meatless burger is contaminated because it's cooked on the same grill as meat burgers.

Vegan restaurants are closing down across the country because of a lack of interest in solely plant-based food, analysis has found.

A new study finds time-restricted eating helped overweight people who were at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes to lose about 3% of their body weight, reduce belly fat and feel more energetic.

About 1 in 3 American adults have metabolic syndrome, a group of early warning signs for increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. To help avoid such health problems, these folks are often advised to pay close attention to the amount and type of foods they eat. And now it seems there may be something else to watch: how food intake is spaced over a 24-hour period.
