I have just looked up WFPB diet and i couldnt even go there:
https://www.forksoverknives.com/whole-food-plant-based-diet/#gs.2zz4O44
I cant eat fruit (sugar spikes)
tubers and starch veg (ditto)
wholegrains( ditto except a couple of slices of wholemeal bread a day)
legums(sugar spikes)
And NO fats at all. Even I, in my very limited knowledge, know humans need some oils/fats in our diet.
From the NHS website:
it basically a high carb vegan diet. For example, Chick peas are 61% carb. Millet is 73% carbs.
It would finish me off faster than the Eatwell plate would. Perhaps its Ok for non T2's, apart from the potential vitamin deficiency of fat soluble vitamins, but not for me.
I had no idea there were people out there recommending such a dangerous diet for T2's
edited to add: so this diet is not wrong because it contains a lot of veg, but because it contains virtually nothing else, and is very high carb.
