Carbs?

[Mr.Rose]

give me a break squatman it was 2am where i was

i was keeping it basic and your additions are more than valid.

However i think that the removal of carbohydrates would cause detrimental health affects, as show by idiots who attempt the atkins and keto diet in place of a proper diet. From the very early ancestry we have eated carbohydrates in the form of fruits and leaf matter, if we did indeed originate from apes, their prime diet is fruit and leaf matter, why would be all of a sudden ignore such a staple food? espesh when meat would of been very scarce and hard for use to catch, i mean we arnt fast, we arnt cheeta's. But we did have sticks and stones.

One can live without carbohydrates, the body is very efficient at converting protein into glucose, but how healthy would that lifestyle be? There is a reason humans find sugarr so tasteful and sweet, its because our body wants us to eat them, if we needed say bark to live our tastebuds would tune into that, but These are just two different schools of thought.

have protein every meal, 6-8 meals a day. SPace them out ever two hours. Keep a radio of 40% protien 40% carbs 20% fat, to keep it simple, but i would recommended 60 25 15. Complex carbs and protien in every meal with fats every meal or every other.

LOL...ok...I guess we'll cut you some slack, I suppose trying to explain this at 2 am can be a little tiring.

Alll your info is good and has merit and I agree that adding carbs are a healthier than keto in the long run, but I was just adding to your original post stating that we needed glucose to live, where as fats are a good source of energy and if the body is not pushed to a limit of effort that necessitates the breakdown of aminos into glucose via gluconeogenesis, fats converted into ketones can also be used as an energy source for both the body and the brain.

And just to add something about your statement concerning our ancestors, I realize that some of them did have the luxury of gathering fruit and leaf but what about the Inuits and Eskimos that lived in the colder climates, they may have had 2 months at best and then the cold and snow would come well before fruit and vegetation would grow in abundance.

Anyhow we could probably go back and forth all day about this...I think we both had good points to this and did in fact enjoy this discussion.
