If we were hunting for meat and didn’t find anything after several hours passed, it would be advantageous for us to find some berries or something to refuel and continue hunting again later. Maybe eating meat and carbs separately is better? 🤔
If we have specific gut bacteria that digest certain types of food, it would make sense not to mix them
Haven't gotten around to writing a better response, but for now I will say that eating carbs and fat together is contraindicated as it leads to Randle cycle activation and subsequent inflammation. Eat your carbs and fats separately, always. This is why junk food and the standard american diet (SAD) is so harmful to the body.
If my memory is accurate, I believe that I heard someone on a podcast say that fat and sugar don’t exist together anywhere in nature.
Although I hate Reddit, r/SaturatedFat (including fireinabottle.net and high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com) has opened my eyes more to how the body works.
High fat (>65% of calories) or low fat (<10% of calories) while keeping protein low-ish (depending on your goal) seems to fix metabolism pretty well.
I used to think that more protein = higher metabolism, but evidence suggests otherwise. Pretty interesting stuff.
Overeating protein eventually just leads to fat and I’ve heard that protein can cause insulin spikes too lol. The only things that never cause insulin spikes are fat and fiber.
Yep. Higher protein percntages literally slow down your metabolism.
In mice models, the mice with the lowest protein percentages would eat the most calories and STILL be the thinnest. Seems to translate into humans too.
The importance of protein seems to exaggerated. Protein for muscle recovery doesn’t even seem that important. When you have a good workout, you deplete glycogen stores in the muscles. The muscles then start to suck up glucose in the blood to refill the muscles causing them to grow. Protein may be the least valuable while fiat science tells you to keep eating dry chicken breasts.
