[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 712553, member: 6467"] Another vote for protein and fat for energy. First an opinion. Carbohydrates are one of the few completely unnecessary foods. There are a number of races who live where this little or no availability of carbohydrates. The prime example is the Inuit. Before modern transport, all they had to feed on (especially in winter) was protein and fat. Not many vegetables growing on snow and ice. Early explorers adopted their diet and after a couple of weeks of 'carb flu' discovered that they too could live well on meat and fat. Other societies such as the Masai lived almost exclusively on meat, fat, milk and blood. If you have seen pictures of the Masai they are very fit and unusually tall. Northern Plains Indians of the USA also ate a Ketogenic diet. [url]http://www.biblelife.org/ketosis.htm[/url] " Normal ketosis stabilizes blood glucose within a normal range and prevents the breakdown of healthy muscle tissue. The dietary restriction of carbohydrates prevents any build-up of excess glucose. The blood glucose level remains perfectly normal and stable, almost straight line. The body is actually powered normally by ketone bodies while we sleep. Ketosis was common and normal in all primitive people who lived on a high-protein, high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet such as the North American plains Indians and northern Eskimos. Dietary fatty acids and ketone bodies are very healthy fuels for the body in contrast to glucose which causes insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer." Not sure I agree with all of the conclusions, but you get the picture. Secondly I (and quite a few others) can exercise at length on a Low Carb High Fat diet. I can cycle 50km at a reasonable pace on just a cup of "bulletproof coffee" which is coffee, butter, and double cream. So please don't listen to people who try to tell you that you need carbohydrates to give you energy. This is patently not true. You are allergic to carbohydrates. Many of us here on this forum are also allergic to carbohydrates but our symptoms are generally different from yours. Never the less, you are allergic to carbohydrates and you can (and should) try to live without them. Hope this helps. LGC [/QUOTE]
