If any healthcare professional is interested in learning about nutrition, be wary of the words "lifestyle medicine" in any conference or course (1)
There& #39;s a 45% chance it& #39;s a conference held by vegans who& #39;ve already decided 100% plant based is the best.
There& #39;s a 45% chance it& #39;s a conference held by the low-carb crowd who& #39;ve already decided carbs are the worst.
There& #39;s a 10% chance it might be legit (2)

Save yourself the attendance fee.
I will demonstrate how each of these courses will meet their aims at CONVINCING YOU TO CONSUME THE BEST DIET EVER WHICH IS DEFINITELY VEGAN/KETO (3).

Cherry-picked observational data:
VEGANS: any observational study showing meat consumption is associated with mortality.
KETO: PURE of course (4).

KETO: PURE of course (4).
Interpret PREDIMED whichever way they like:
VEGANS: The Mediterranean diet is a plant-based diet. The plants provided the protection.
KETO: The Mediterranean diet is high in unprocessed animal products, whether it& #39;s meat, fish or poultry (5).
VEGANS: The Mediterranean diet is a plant-based diet. The plants provided the protection.
KETO: The Mediterranean diet is high in unprocessed animal products, whether it& #39;s meat, fish or poultry (5).
They will invoke mTOR:
VEGANS: Milk is terrible for us because of mTOR
KETO: Meat is great for us because of mTOR (6).
VEGANS: Milk is terrible for us because of mTOR
KETO: Meat is great for us because of mTOR (6).
You can& #39;t address lifestyle without insulin so:
VEGANS: a plant-based diet improves whole body insulin sensitivity.
KETO: reducing carbs resolves hyperinsulinaemia (7).

They& #39;ll both have the *controversial* section which gets people debating
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź‘Ť" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">:
VEGANS: Be wary of eating fish.
KETO: Don& #39;t forget fruit raises insulin (8).
VEGANS: Be wary of eating fish.
KETO: Don& #39;t forget fruit raises insulin (8).
They& #39;ll both point out the deficiencies of the other diet:
VEGANS: "Where do they get their fibre from? Just awful".
KETO: "Who wants to be deficient in B12 and n-3 LOL!" (9).
VEGANS: "Where do they get their fibre from? Just awful".
KETO: "Who wants to be deficient in B12 and n-3 LOL!" (9).
They& #39;ll both invoke "the evidence".
VEGANS: "This an evidence-based approach, based on science".
KETO "This an evidence-based approach, based on science" (10).
VEGANS: "This an evidence-based approach, based on science".
KETO "This an evidence-based approach, based on science" (10).
They& #39;ll both point out that other people misrepresent the data:
VEGANS: "Keto is not based on good science"
KETO: "Veganism ignores the science" (11).
VEGANS: "Keto is not based on good science"
KETO: "Veganism ignores the science" (11).
Finally, [Since 2019] they& #39;ll both invoke environmental credentials:
VEGANS: Dairy and carbon issues.
KETO: Think of the top soil (12).
VEGANS: Dairy and carbon issues.
KETO: Think of the top soil (12).
So save yourself the money. If you want to learn about nutrition science, and what a fair representation of what& #39;s currently known and unknown, check the list of speakers. If they all promote the same diet AVOID (13).
Finally, for those who are grateful for having saved ~ÂŁ250/$300 in attendance fees, do consider donating it to my Pandemic Limoncello Fund. I will post the Venmo link shortly (14).
