So why should we avoid the amount of carbs currently recommended?

[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 848301, member: 41816"] Did you watch the video? And how are you defining carbs? Non starchy veg? Or starchy carbs like wholegrains, grains, and root veg? Because gluconeogenesis (a naturally occuring process in the body) will convert protein to glucose, providing the miniscule amount of glucose that the brain needs to function. There is absolutely zilch need for starchy carbs in the diet. Although there is, of course, a need for veg, for the fibre and other dietary nutrients they provide (although even that is debatable, because there are studies on indigenous peoples that suggest minimal veg intake may be a viable alternative). Personally, I LIKE veg. [/QUOTE]
