    Wow! I feel like every thread gets hijacked by the carb/no carb debate. I think everybody's body and lifestyle is different and they need different things. I would not be able to run 14k on my long run days without carbohydrates...end of...I don't think anyone could.
    I am not a vegetarian, I love to eat fish and meat...but I also work on a stroke team...and there aren't too many veggies being wheeled onto my unit...in fact, I haven't seen any. Take that in whichever way you will.
    This is my opinion, not backed by a whole lot of internet-quoted articles...It is the way I live my life and it is working for me. I'm sure other people live their lives differently. I think that's great. I love to read how other people are doing it...but I'm not going to tell others that its my way or the highway.

    I know people that run marathons and live a low carb lifestyle. You can do as much endurance stuff without carbs.

    It is a mindset about needing carbs. I don't only have internet quoted articles either. I can start quoting pages of books that very few people on this site probably have.

    It didn't start out as a no carb / low carb debate, it was taken there by another member. Also, an alternative view point should be pointed out as many people in this country have been brainwashed since the 1950's and 60's and that same mindset still continues today.

    From a distance as a thumbnail it looked like the old abandoned paradigm. Thanks for posting the full size. Very cool! I noticed fruit is sharing the bottom with veggies. I assume that means a good chunk of your diet is carbs in the form of fruit? It looks like if you follow this paradigm then you are largely swapping out whole grains for fruits to get your carb requirement. At first glance I really don't see a deficiency even as a comparison between that and the new my pyramid.

    No, I have limited fruit intake due to having yeast issues and diabetes. I do eat a lot of berries and melons and grapefruit. Those are my favorites. Also, kiwi.

    I mix some fruit in with my green shakes that contain spinach, brocolli, celery, cauliflower, a carrot, collards, kale, whatever veggies I have.

    My main staples are veggies and protein and fats.
