Mice fed a 0% protein diet for a week lost nearly 20% of their body mass

@TexugoDoMel Sugar also has a muscle and protein preserving effect. So if one were fed a high carb-low protein diet this could be a protective factor.
-
@Jennifer I still dont have one
-
@RawGoatMilk88 I doubt the low-protein experiment caused his death. If anything it couldve been an attempt to cure whatever health condition he was already dealing with which lead to his death.
-
Certainly didn’t help.
-
@RawGoatMilk88 Yeah but if he was still young and healthy and didnt have an underlying condition he may have fared well, if not possibly better than a higher protein diet. I think thats what Jennifer was getting at atleast.

Well considering he died…. I do think we know how he would fare on a low protein diet lol.
What Serotoninskeptic said. For all I know, Ray was motivated to experiment with low methionine because his health was failing and no intervention he tried was going to extend his life.

Neither do I. I was going to buy it, but I can’t see spending $550 on a juicer when I can get fresh-pressed cider for $8 a gallon. I did the math and it would cost me around $12 to juice a gallon’s worth of apples.
-
@Jennifer Yess im so glad fresh unpasteurized apple cider is back at my farmer's market
-
@Serotoninskeptic, nice! The one I get is pasteurized, but it’s available year round and I like my cider heated up anyway with some cinnamon and vanilla bean.
-
@Jennifer That reminds me. When i was fruit-based and I first found your posts on RPF, i tried out the warm cider recipe and loved it. I started drinking it every day lol
-
@Serotoninskeptic, oh, wonderful! Spiced cider is to me what OJ is to Peaters. lol With a chunk of gouda, it’s chef’s kiss
-
@Jennifer Ice never had the pleasure of trying it with cheese because i was still vegan
I will have to try it! -
@Serotoninskeptic, ooh…you’re in for a treat then. Another yummy combo is warm apple & pear sauce with raisins, cinnamon, vanilla and a pat of butter, and a chunk of raw goat cheddar. My temp reaches almost 100° with this meal.
-
@Jennifer That sounds incredible
i need more warm cozy meals for the fall/winter season. Apple sauce, gelatin broths, fruit compotes are all great -
@Serotoninskeptic, definitely!
