Are people really carb free?

[Anonymous]

Idk how people do it long term at all. I’m sure I’d feel better and drop weight if I did bc I did lose when I did Whole 30, but I was not able to sustain it.

Carb free or grain free?

I avoid grains but I get carbs from fruits and vegetables. I wouldn’t even say I’m low carb.

I haven't eaten rice, pasta, or even cereal in years, probably more than a decade. I do eat sweet potato, quinoa, farro, etc. So yes, I eat carbs from real food and whole grains, but processed carbs, no. Not worth the calories, weight on my hips and thighs, or time to work to burn it off

I haven’t had a carb since 2004.

Insanity, and unhealthy. I week for the colon and intestines.

To eat? Umm... probably fairly fatty, with larger muscle groups providing decent protein.

Where are you planning to source these carb-free people?

I don't know what that fad thing is, but forget about fads and diets. Just cut carbs. It's simple.

The hardest part is the first month or two. After that you will feel terrible if you eat junk food again and realize how bad all those carbs were for you.

Fats are important. If you go low carb and low fat, you will die. Saturated fats are good for you also.

Fiber is a carb. If you're cutting fiber, you are insane. There is no other "learning" needed.

I can only do it 6 days a week. I need a 7th day where I don't think about food or count anything. I've been able to lose 5 lbs a year for the past 5 years doing this.

Define carb. You haven’t had a vegetable? A sweet potato? Oatmeal? Quinoa? In 21 years?

Most people who are carb free are low carb. A chicken salad is low carb (unless the dressing is high carb) and is the type of meal that will help you lose weight. It is also delicious.

This is a silly assertion. Some of the very healthiest foods on earth are carbs, carbs are NOT by definition 'junk food.'

OP, you'd do better limiting (or eliminating) saturated fats, sugars (including alcohol) and ultra processed foods from your diet and building a diet based around fiber from fruits, veggies, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Fiber stimulates the natural production of the same hormones those expensive, side effect laden GLP1 meds mimic and keeps you feeling full much longer on relatively low calorie foods. Yes we are omnivores, but we evolved as primates whose primary diet would be plants and that is what is best for our gut health and our other organ systems particularly cardiovascular.

Apples and oranges and sweet potatoes are also delicious and help people lose weight. And also incredibly nutritious and healthy for you.

It's one thing to cut out white flour breads and cakes. It's incredibly stupid and unhealthy to go "low carb" when you're cutting out incredibly healthful things.

DP. I ignore anyone who suggests cutting out or severely reducing fruit.
