Carbs????

Guess Sisson didn't mention Paleo man is estimated to have eaten 300g of carbs daily?

Maybe in the form of fruits, I could see that happening. But where would Grok have gotten grains from? All of those were inaccessible to him.

If you plan to follow a paleo/primal diet, 50-100g carbs/day is the recommended area for 'effortless' weight loss.

I'm maintaining nicely while consuming quantities that Sisson claims will cause "insidious weight gain". So much for that silly chart.

I recommend ditching the grains. Our bodies are virtually identical to our ancestors of 10k years ago, yet we eat and exercise completely differently.

Evolution didn't come to a screeching halt 10,000 years ago. We have continued to evolve (as did our gut flora - which plays a huge role in our digestive system).

Humans are not supposed to be ingesting 200g+ per day. People may be able to not get fat by exercising and not overeating, but the repeated blood sugar, and consequently insulin spikes, over the years can wear your body out and you can still easily develop a myriad of dietary-related afflictions, such as diabetes or insulin resistance.

ONOEZ Insulun spikes!! Got any evidence to back up this nonsensical claim? Diabetes (T2) and IR are related to obesity, not carb intake.


MYTH:A High Carbohydrate Diet Leads to Chronically High Insulin Levels

FACT:Insulin Is Only Elevated During the Time After a Meal In Healthy Individuals

You cite one article, which its research was probably funded by some biased agriculture agency, and expect me to take it as truth? lol.. There are just as many low carb advocates and articles that refute what you say as well.

Oh, so spiking your insulin repeatedly for years and years on end is perfectly healthy? Meanwhile, for the first time in human history 1 in 3 children are predicted to wind up with diabetes. You think that's solely from eating candy and drinking sodas?

If evolution did not come to a screeching halt, I would not have gone through wisdom teeth extraction hell that literally almost killed me.

you know what did happen 10,000 years ago? agriculture, starch, and sugar.

Acg67 is an anti low-carb troll. From what I can tell, he has an alert set up when anyone posts anything about carbs.

I'd love for you to find a post to illustrate my anti low carb stance/low carb trolling

cute! trolling is not a single post. any time a carb is mentioned, you are there.

Easy to find the most herpy derpy posts in carb threads

I don't know what herpy derpy is, but I hope it involves lizards.

and you are still always there.

Then kindly explain why the vast majority of people of European descent are NOT lactose intolerant, while the majority of people of Asian and African descent are.

Nope, no evolution going on there.

evolution is a tricky thing. You can't look at a single trait and come to conclusions. Seriously.

ps, I taught evolutionary bio for several years at an Ivy League college.

ps2. I am whitey white white white, and I am 100% lactose intolerant.

So if you're going to eat like our ancestors, do you also go without electricity, indoor plumbing, and vaccinations? We evolved mentally and physically after agriculture became part of who we are. Any sort of "diet", pretty much anything with a name, other than just eating, is ridiculous, unless you have a medical condition that warrants it.

Of course not, it's about adapting that eating and exercise style in a modern society.

We evolved technologically, but the human body largely has not evolved. We learned how to use our brains more and more, but our body has not changed.. except with the outward expanding waistline.
