The bread and pasta served today is not the same as the food served 100 years ago. Grain is naturally very nutritious. Modern mills knowingly remove the nutrition and the fiber from their flours.
Its worse than that. Not only do they bleach the flour, but they also leave it sitting in the heat to rot for a long time.
"Whole grain" benefits only really applies to home milled flour. Most of the stuff you buy at the store is whole grain flavored. My bread molds within 4-7 days depending on temperature, not that it lasts that long. If even mold hates your bread you probably shouldn't be eating it. You should be eating little that is shelf stable.
I imagine many Asian folks who eat white rice as a daily staple (and incidentally are NOT fat) might think this is ridiculous. We make Amylase to digest starchy carbs for a very good reason.
We also have taste buds to taste and enjoy sweet fruits and honey. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any fat frugivores.
Nobody becomes diabetic eating mangoes, bananas and orange juice. Fruit is designed to be eaten. Dark chocolate has many proven health benefits. 🤷🏻♀️
Melanie Trump (middle aged and DEFINITELY not fat) aims to eat 7 servings of fruit per day. She values the antioxidants and flavonoids as they are extremely health promoting.
I could write for hours about the analgesic, antiinflammatory, nephroprotective, neuroprotective, and antimicrobial AND anti-aging effects of naringenin alone. If big Pharma could patent it they would. I have one friend who has been low-carbing for years, she isn’t aging well.
I am waiting to find out what is true after the awakening. Everything I have read about fruits and sugars has been almost shouted by MSM. I keep finding the truth is the opposite of what they shout.
I went off and googled naringenin and got a million results, a large portion of which are probably misleading. Do you have a skinny on the primary benefits? Is it a detoxifier, immune builder, gut biome regulator, or something else? Just trying to get an idea or resource before jumping off into the interwebs... Thanks.
My Japanese brother- and sister-in-law used to not be able to live without their rice, but on their own have now cut it out about a year ago, and have lost a good amount of weight.
My biggest problem. I married an Italian girl and I love Italian food. I have learned all the awesome pasta recipes like spaghetti with my homemade Italian sausage, pesto with shrimp and scallops, Oil and clam sauce, homemade pizza. It's tough, especially when I cook for the whole family. I just be sure to add extra sausage and meatballs for me with lots of salad.
The problem isn't carbs. Its highly processed foods. Unfortunately modern flour is highly processed so anything made with it is not so good for you. They literally remove half the components of the flour then leave the other half sitting around to rot. Its so bad that they have to add vitamins back into the flour so it doesn't kill you.
I mill my own flour and make my own pasta and bread. You can't buy bread this good at the store and I'm not really even trying hard.
As an Italian i find this post problematic
The bread and pasta served today is not the same as the food served 100 years ago. Grain is naturally very nutritious. Modern mills knowingly remove the nutrition and the fiber from their flours.
Also, grains were fermented to make them more digestible and the nutrients more bioavailable.
However per gram, grains have far less nutrition than meat.
Whaaat? Tell me more.

I like how you base your ideas on Melania Trump and “One friend.”

Banza, garbanzo bean pasta got me out of the pasta deaths. Fiber and protein, tastes decent.
Carbs are just edible plates
Don’t kid yourself - beans are so hard on your digestion. Plus, you have to plan on leaving due your farting.
Gotta own them bean farts. Personally I need the fiber
Bye bye pasta, Italian bread, pizza with carb crust, tiramisu...
Very much in agreement
