One of the basic paradigms of a Proper Human Diet is discovering your own personal level of carbohydrate tolerance.

Some people can tolerate 100grams/day of real, whole-food, unprocessed carbs.

Some people are much less tolerant and benefit from Zero Carb Carnivore.

Many factors determine your level of Carb Tolerance.

I have many youtube videos that will help you understand...

Ken - in Diamandis new book, "Longevity Guidebook" he says to avoid red meat because it causes colon cancer.

He is low carb/sugar and high protein but probably supports the idea of 100grams/day carbs but looks at it as essential, versus tolerant.

Your response and any references to research?

Here is one opinion based on research. But looking for more.

Most people probably do best with less than 50g of carbs per day (after the withdrawal period), no grains, no dyes, no thickeners, no soy, no veg oils.

The idea that red meat is a problem is just wrong.

The number of things that improve, & the magnitude of the improvement when you eat steak every day, avoid the stuff listed above, & keep carbs low is difficult to convey.

Nice one Doc. I believed the vegans that carbs were good... Can't believe they were wrong.

Maybe heritage plays a role? If your ancestors primarily ate proteins and fats then your body is probably optimized for a similar diet.
