Super low carb diets are not environmentally sustainable.... humans started cultivating grains etc to address a growing inability for hunter gatherer lifestyles to feed the population.

You can't go back. The planet cant really handle the corresponding overconsumption of meat that low carb diets create.
Mos def that's why it's important to have a well balanced diet. "Simply" dumping fruits and veggies is beyond retard, but protein is also an essential component to the human diet....

Buffalo is Bison and it's bangin. How is the Elk?
It's okay. I went to this store that sold mainly beef jerky. And they had this box of assorted animal jerky. It had alligator, elk, bison, ostrich, boar, reindeer, antelope, rattlesnake. I don't remember them all. Reindeer and alligator had a weird after taste. It was kind of a waste of money because it was rather expensive per ounce. I prefer Jack Link's Jalapeño Carne Seca beef jerky for both flavor and price.

I understand dudes trying to cut leaving fruit in the bushes, but not veggies. I dont think TUH was saying we should either.

Wrong. Not all sugar is created equal. Eating complex carbohydrates, like those found in fiber, is far better than the "simple" sugars found in say birthday cake.

All sugars are NOT created equal breh.
Never said that. I said carbohydrates and sugar are synonyms of each other, the same. All sugars are carbohydrates, not ALL carbohydrates are sugars.

Fa sho, but I look at fruits like a gateway substance to vegetables. Point blank most people, especially young people aren't eating their vegetables.

While fruits are notoriously higher in sugar content, than vegetables, I'd still rather people choose eating a banana(high in sugar) over a snickers bar.

Did you think that aaaaaallllllllllll by yourself? Good boy.

Bananas typically have 15-25 carbohydrates depending on the size, normal snickers bar has like 30-35 so it's not much of a difference.

Yes, then you followed up that statement with "throw FRUIT in the bushes."

That is perhaps one of the dumbest myths paraded as scientific fact out there. Fruits and vegetables have FAR to many beneficial effects for the human body to simply stop eating them. What people should really work to eliminate in addition to simple sugars are animal protein based products.

However lean meats like fish and poultry are best if you must eat animal protein.


Again, I linked several studies that were done in the last 1-3 years that have shown the effects of fructose on different parts of the body, including the brain. Not only HFCS, but fructose in general. Feel free to debunk those studies or link counterpoints cause I sure as hell can't find them.

I've been hearing a lot of opinions here, but I've yet to see anyone properly source a recent scientific study to counter or back up their points.

I always look at this cat sideways when he mentions dumping fruits and eating meats like pork and beef O_o

Friend, you can look at me anyway you want (no homo). I've properly explained my positive and backed it up extensively with proper sources.

There is nothing wrong with eating fruits if you intend to burn a large amount of energy quickly. A lot of people don't do this though. They make fruits a large staple of their diet for no other reason but to think they are eating healthy and getting their simple sugar addiction in check.

Veggies are great. Keto diets make leafy vegetables a main staple. There are complex carbs that are beneficial.

He's gotta be on HGH. No way he can maintain that muscle eating beans.
