Unnatural things that a high carb diet makes us doI thought I'd start a thread on the stupid (unnatural) things that humans have to do to cope with a high carb diet. I'll start the ball rolling. Please add to the list.1. Drink lots of water (presumably to keep those carbs moving) 2. Eat lots of fiber (presumably to keep those carbs moving) 3. Take laxatives when the high fiber doesn't work 4. Eat 3 or more times a day (to "manage" "hunger" induced by fluctuations in blood sugar) 5. Take naps after high carb lunches 6. Take insulin when our pancreases give up 7. Count calories in the hope that we can get lean by eating less |

11. Go out at two in the morning to get more junk food, cuz your body is screaming out for more. 12. Exercise with steady state cardio like there's no tomorrow, and wonder why the body fat goes nowhere. 13. Order diet drinks with every meal, which includes pasta, fruit, and ice cream and cake for dessert. |

16. Use artificial sweeteners, cuz we just can't get over those sweets already.
17. Use crap like Carbquik, or Atkins bars, or other totally unnatural junk, just to try to create the carb foods we miss so much, instead of getting into the wonders of real carnivore food. |

18. Eat "food" made with Olestra because we're so afraid of eating fat that we'd rather eat more carbs and have oily stools.

gross! 
dr eades actually has a post about this.. he seems to think it may actually be beneficial for your body because the more fat that passes the more metals that are taken with it. I forgot the name of the post.. but I referenced it in one of my threads i think. |
