Yes. We've said that. Trouble is how do you get proteins and fats if you can't afford them/ vomit when you eat them if they aren't accompanied by carbs/ live in a famine hit area? Carbs are easiest to store and cheapest to buy.It's the protein and fats that are both essential in carbs, not the sugars....... and that goes for anywhere in the world. We can survive on just proteins and fats. Check out the protein and fat content in grains fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. The dietary sugars in carbohydrates "are not essential". If sugars/carbs were essential then how am I and many others still surviving on zero carbs? World wide we know proteins and fats are combined/included in carbohydrates, it's not just sugar.
The proteins and fats are already incorporated in the carbs. (grains fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.) That's why we can survive......because it contains the essentials,(proteins and fats) we need. I find it much cheaper eating 2 meals a day by just eating meat and fat than eating "carby and fibrous" foods and snacks throughout the day. No more emotional eating, cravings, and sugar addictions....... I've got a lot more will power and determination now.Yes. We've said that. Trouble is how do you get proteins and fats if you can't afford them/ vomit when you eat them if they aren't accompanied by carbs/ live in a famine hit area?

Hi Lamont, good to see youHi @Brunneria hope you're ok.
What convinced you that your gut biome has been compromised by carnivore diet?
Your dietician does seem knowledgeable excepting that your individual balanced diet has given you a better state of mind. So why mess with something that after decades of finally finding your diet, she wants to introduce more refined or complex carbs? As you have intimated.
I did read something, that fibre in some grains, legumes, that may be the actual cause of inflammation.
With your intolerance to gluten, as I found out that different aspects of ingredients include oils and starches, palm oil and some horrendous e numbers.
I haven't got an issue with experiments, but sometimes, you know best, not her hippy ideas about nutrition. Ha!
I would have more faith in your experience than her taught text book nutritional information.
Best wishes.
What I find disconcerting about modern nutritional information is when they advise eating some foods for the phytochemicals that they claim have significant antioxident properties. Now phytochemicals are actually plant poisons that the plant generates to make it less appetising or even harmful to predators. When you eat the plant you become a predator. It is known that many plant defense mechanisms make food less bioavailable to humans. An example is spinach or rhubarb. The spinach is high in iron, but the plant self defensse actually means it is not absorbed by us, so Popeye is promoting poppycock. Rhubarb is poisonous when raw. kidney beans can be fatal if not proprtly cooked. But the nutritionista trumpet that a new fad food is stuffed with phytochemicals and these are necessary ingredients. I rest my case with the superfoods like Blueberries and grapefruit.Hi @Brunneria hope you're ok.

My gut biome has been properly stuffed by Dapagliflozin. That med made me have explosive flatulence and led to severe constipation. I reduced the dose, and the problem eased, but is still not back to what it was before my gut was assaulted by chemicals. My diet was steady and relatively unchanged during this period so I do not think my issue was diet caused, but obviously diet fuelled. I could have launched myself into space sometimes.My own gut microbiome was messed up by years of drinking diet drinks. This has led to my body not absorbing nutrients properly.
I note that you declare that you do not have diabetes. So you are probably not aware that for many forum users here, carbohydrate is actually harmful to us. We in the T2D faction are generally intolerant of carbohydrates, It is not by choice, I can assure you, but I and others here restrict our carb intake to control rampant blood sugar overdoses (our choice) and thus reduce the inflammation and future complications that may arise. from it, It is a medical matter. and carb restriction replaces many medications in my life.Carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins are things that are essential to our body, but not all carbs are equally good for you. you take it in a balanced amount. I take all the nutrients in a balanced amount.
