  • The fact of the matter is that we don't really need 100% of the RDA. Watch this video by Dr. Mcdougall, an amazing doctor for plant based nutrition if you don't know of him already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh05yCLzhC4

  • Carbs don't make you fat. That's why. They don't have a special asian gene or something and they don't run marathons everyday. Pretty easy logic.

Your body after sleeping has basically been "fasting" for 8-12 hours and the best way to get it going is with glucose which is what our cells need.
