what does exogenous carbohydrate mean?
And if 30% of the human diet was from plants, then why are people choosing to be full carnivores?
Protein does not stimulate insulin release at the same rate that fruit can, which makes bodybuilding as a carnivore extremely inefficient
What’s wrong with Paul Saladino?
Exogenous means from the outside. The body produces glucose in sufficient amounts through gluconeogenesis. The nutritional requirement for carbohydrates is 0 grams.
These plants were fibrous, nutrient poor roots humans would eat to not die from starvation when the hunt was unsuccessful. They were probably cooked for hours on end by the women just to extract some nutrition and neutralize the poisons. Ancient humans ate fruit for like a couple weeks in the entire year, the ice age was a thing.
Insulin is not the only anabolic hormone, and protein synthesis is not one of its main functions. Muscle protein synthesis is mostly dependent upon a training stimulus, sufficient recovery and protein intake. Carbohydrates are simply not required to build muscle.
Paul Saladino is a controversial figure. He advocated for a nose to tail diet, which is unnecessary and can be harmful. He concluded, falsely, he needed carbs, while he just needed more protein. And then there's also the whole liver king drama I don't want to get into here.
You don’t eat organs?
Occasionally. The liver is very nutrient dense, maybe too much if frequently consumed. Very high in copper and vitamin A, maybe too much. I like the taste actually, but it's not like organs are mandatory.
Have you done bloodwork?
I do them regularly for experiments. I don't test for copper.
What’s your testosterone at?
Pretty normal, thanks for asking.
I only ask because mine was “normal” too but it was on the lower side of normal. A lot of the measures for testosterone consider low testosterone to be normal now. Men’s testosterone was much higher before. Saladino’s organ supplement helped me get it a lot higher.
