The title of this thread is all about Autoph-agy. For that purpose, the purpose of the body cleansing itself, taking out the trash, regenerating and repairing damaged cells and proteins and having an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, you do want to keep carbs out of the way. It's because constant insulin spikes get in the way of it and don't allow autoph-agy to occur. You need insulin out of the way for long periods of time to make it happen.
I said before I don't think carbs will kill you, but I do think they're a big part of the problem as to why people in this country are overweight and generally unhealthy on a large scale. I don't think you can point to other cultures and say they're carb heavy and skinny. You don't really know their whole diet or eating habits like that. And, obviously, there are many variables. Sugar is a carb and nobody is going to be talking about the health benefits of sugar. By now, all know it is a bad thing you don't want much of, hence all the sugar substitutes. In this country, I believe more than any other, so much of the store bought food is heavily processed. That not only robs it of its nutrients but there seems to be hidden sugar in just about everything. There's actually over 50 different names for sugar you can find on labels. It's not just that this country has a heavy carb diet, it's that it's a heavy sugar diet from all the sodas and juices to all the processed foods.
i think i can comment on other countries a lil, being ive been to and lived in other cuntries......and live in another cuntry now..well, i can comment a lil on cuntries that ive been to atleast...
me immigrant indian friend who just invited me ova the other day be eat carbs all day and his family is skinny as.... comes from a family of generational non meat eaters.. his old ass mom looks early 50s though shes late 80s...its cray cray....flawless skin..........they dont eat meat...nor eggs...... well 'all day' is a bit much.. but carbs are their bulk items for every meal they do eat... they food is sooo good.. looking at their food.. protein is on the low side.. but they get some from nuts/seeds, milk, curd, yogurt, beans and paneer. fats are high though..
at the same time there be fat carb ppl in other countries.... so i aint banging no gavel saying carbs arent an issue....
duh processed western foods probably dont help the developed world at all... highly refined carbs and gmo carbs genes mixed with other possible fat causing processed and gmo foods...idk..pesticides, hormones n antibiotic laced massed produced foods??..... i aint no scientist no dr. but muricas ways be infiltrating countries n getting em fat.. is ppl getting away from they ancestry dietary archetypes n dis is also causing issues?//////////
currently ive been eating more food in me one meal and working out less (less time and less intensity) then me last go around.. dropping weight..
last time, i ate more times, but a lil less calories, way more carbs, worked out more and dropped weight..
in duh way past ive worked out harder, eating even more than both above and lost weight (cutting after bulk) to where i wanted to be..then maintained that weight fer years.. until i moved abroad eating different produced shat..... became completely inactive n sedentary... lost muscle.. then got fatter year by year by year and here i be.
herschel walker be dat omad and murican legend... eats soup and bread fer his meal... minimal proteins. dunno what else be in the soup though.. but according to him he doesnt focus on meats or proteins in general.. so im assuming it be a veg heavy soup. he been doing this shit since 16,17,18 .. i dont remember specifically now
