Good advice. I think cutting out almost all sources of carbohydrates is called for. That means anything made with wheat, rice, etc. Cane sugar and corn syrup are out of the question. All natural ingredients only. No "diet soda" unless it is a specialty item made with stevia. A bit of fruit each day is probably okay but not very much. Base the diet on meat and salad.
and fat.
Right, don't even think about cutting the fat off the steak. Fat has some 2 1/2 times the energy of carbs without the insulin spike and blood sugar crash.
Some carbs are necessary for the body to function. As in all things, moderation is key.
I don't think most people are aware of the extreme carb load in foods like bread and pasta. Has there ever been an obese hunter-gatherer?
Bagels are the worst.
Bagels are awful. They're unhealthy for you as well.
Actually look at the numbers and it's not as insanely loaded as a soda or piece of cake, especially when you take fiber into account. They also make a lot of reduced carb breads and bagels and such now.
Also hunter gathers had to walk everywhere and carry everything themselves so it's an inaccurate comparison, their TDEE was insane compared to modern people.
30 grams of carbs from bread in a sandwich is quite a lot to eat on a daily basis I think. Several times a day it verges on pancreas abuse.
If you need carbs eat beans, bananas etc. Processed wheat like pasta\bread is the devil
I agree.
Not exogenous ones….the body will make its own if it needs to.
Yeah some brain functions require glucose and can't use ketones, your body will inefficiently make glucose from protein if need be
^ This - carbs.
