I became an amateur boxer and weight lifter and learned how useful all those carbs can be. I chastize the plate they use now in favor of the pyramid.
I then married someone who doesn't do much of anything and learned how important lifestyle is, and that you should let your brain and body tell you what to eat instead of the government.
So true. One of my friends is a SF CW-5 and he has been retired for a few years, but he said that breaking the habit of rice, bread and pasta since retirement has been difficult.
Those 3 things turn you from a warrior into a zombie.
Right, the stupid food pyramid says to eat more bread and pasta. Better carbs can be had from fiberous vegetables.
I've done very well on Keto -- when I started I dropped from 190 to 158 in 4 months. And kept it off on a lighter low carb diet for a few years since, until surgery recovery made me sedentary for a few months, weight came back, now it's going down.
Veganism is fasting. It's OK to fast for a time, but after that time, it's important to eat the foods that nourish the body: fats and proteins. From animals.
Carbs are not necessary for a lot of people unless they burn a lot of energy daily.

Disagree here. Carbs are absolutely necessary. Your six pack abs selfies won't save you when you're in the hospital for kidney disease.
Carbs are not all white bread and Olive Garden pasta

Lifestyle may be more important.

to be fair carbs are necessary.
How so? I cut them out and felt great. I went back since its impossible to avoid them.
