Episode 342: Why I Never Eat Carbs


Listen Later

Do you need carbohydrates to thrive, or even survive? This really shouldn't be a debate anymore, the evidence is overwhelming against it. Humans have not only survived but thrived in much harsher and life-threatening conditions, such as the ice ages, for 99% of human existence without carbohydrates. So as far as survival, that's a non-starter to suggest that you need carbohydrates.

As for thriving, again the evidence is overwhelming that carbohydrates cause direct harm, without any added benefit as long as you are getting adequate nutrition and energy from other sources, such as our primary diet of fatty meat.

You can even see this in the genome, where humans didn't even have the genetic code to make amylase in any abundance prior to the agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago. Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch, plant carbohydrates. So if we didn't even have the genetic ability to break down starch and carbohydrates from plants, we clearly weren't eating them or requiring them.

The evidence goes on and on, as you will see in this video, so as you can see the evidence is thoroughly against carbohydrates being necessary or beneficial in the human diet.

This is of course not an exhaustive list of evidence against eating carbohydrates. What are some other reasons and evidence that you can think of as well?
