[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2121017, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=512587]@JohnyT2[/USER] Interesting comments all around. a nice lively debate. While not an expert on the prehistory of man, arable farming or the like. i liked your point that we worked harder.and now it's a much more sedentary work force, albeit with Gyms galore and many taking exercise after work etc. IS it possible, that the Low Carb works in combo with the Higher Fats..(better fats as i prefer) ....because that just how it's ALWAYS worked.? i wonder if whatever era of history, mankind survived on what was available and little of that was in abundance all year round. So for millennia we ate carbs and used them to toil in the fields or hunt our game ALL within a balance and tolerance level we COULD manage. So carbs for that instant power and ready fuel, Fats for storage when time were harder. However, we upset that balance when we went all in on LOW fat / HIGH carbs. so we are geared to utilise the fats as fuel, and i would imagine many would have used them exclusively over many a hard winter.. prefferred fuel..mmh. maybe it's more the champagne last the cheap wine first, mentality. Especially now, as we seem to encourages the body to use carbs first because there is SO much of it being poured in Daily All easily identifiable, when we consider the prevalence of eating fast foods and how many seem to eat constantly. all actively encouraged by advertising, and the damage being done can be clearly seen by the growth is so many illnesses inc Diabetes, particularly T2.,, . To my mind, i eat Low carbs and better fats, i'm not on keto diet, so can't speak of benefits. but it does strike me that the WAY we eat has changed as has the FOOD we eat. For me, i have gone back to a one maybe 2 meals a day..i rarely snack as my food keeps me satisfied longer. what if the Carb overload IS toxic as [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] describes, but particularly in a kind of drip, drip drip way. No other era of humanity has imposed such a synthetic way of eating n the masses, as the American century did. Hard to not to notice the coincidence of the obesity / Diabetes / Metabolic Syndrome/ NAFLD, with the very changing OF our diet. So while it's a long preamble... i think you have a point, But i also think the rowing back of what and how we eat, aka Low Carb and perhaps Keto as well, ISN'T taking us away from where we SHOULD be food wise. I think it's taking us BACK to where we are MEANT to be. A place where we CAN balance our intake with output, a place where the carbs can make glucose in quantities our bodies CAN handle..WITHOUT the need to stress it's self finding imaginative ways to... Stash, Store or Hide the excess fat that produces. by packing it around our organs or withing our bodies. Using carbs for NOW food and FATS for when times are leaner DOES mean Being Dual fuel, ..it just makes sense, imho. It's just a shame so many have had to suffer the terrible consequences, over the years, for that to become apparent. [/QUOTE]
