Carbs he likes to utilize: 1. Honey 2. Liquid carbs (e.g. waxy maize) 3. Tropical fruits (higher sugar, but more enzymes - pineapple) 4. Tapioca starch 5. Watermelon (carb to water ratio is fairly low) 6. Whole grain 7. Maple syrup (low calorie and higher antioxidant than honey) What he tries to avoid: 1. Red Potato 2. Carb loading/timing (only matters if you're fully depleted)

I've watched you for years and I've developed one rule that keeps me healthy. Never eat corn, wheat, potatoes, or anything made with them. Also never eat meat that consumed those items. In my 50s, I lost 151.2 pounds in 365 days. I feel better now than when I was a high functioning athlete at 20. Keto is a healing diet and the side effects are incredible. I've been disabled for nearly 20 years and without a doubt it has improved my daily life. The brain fog is 4 more paragraphs... in short we are being dumbed down and physically harmed by chemicals so greedy people who made such things can sell you pills to feel better.

### Key Insights from “The Carbohydrates I’ll Never Eat Again (and 7 I Wish I Started Eating Sooner)” In the KZbin video titled **“The Carbohydrates I’ll Never Eat Again (and 7 I Wish I Started Eating Sooner)”**, the speaker shares a transformative view on various carbohydrates based on recent literature and personal experience. Here's a summary of the key points discussed: #### **Carbohydrates to Consider Including:** 1. **Honey:** - Initially dismissed as mere concentrated sugar, honey is now seen as beneficial due to its unique sugar composition. Studies suggest honey can lower insulin and glucose levels, making it a metabolically favorable carbohydrate. Honey also contains trehalose, which helps modulate glucose levels and reduce HbA1c over time. Additionally, honey may increase adiponectin, aiding liver glycogen absorption. 2. **Liquid Carbohydrates (Waxy Maize):** - Previously avoided, liquid carbohydrates such as waxy maize are now viewed as valuable, especially post-workout. They provide a low glycemic, fast-absorbing source of energy that replenishes glycogen and reduces cortisol without staying long in the gastrointestinal tract. These are more about utility than taste, serving specific needs for quick carbohydrate intake. 3. **Tropical Fruits (e.g., Pineapple):** - Once seen as high-sugar culprits, tropical fruits are now appreciated for their metabolic benefits. For instance, pineapple contains bromelain, which offers various health benefits despite its sugar content. Moderation is key, allowing for small servings that provide polyphenols and other nutrients. 4. **Tapioca Starch:** - Initially considered undesirable due to its association with cassava, tapioca starch is now recognized as a beneficial resistant starch. It lowers insulin and glucose levels and supports gut health. Continuous glucose monitoring can show its positive impact on blood sugar levels. 5. **Watermelon:** - Previously dismissed as “sugar water,” watermelon is now valued for its low carbohydrate density and good mineral ratio. Its high water content makes it a suitable option for hydration and replenishment, particularly post-workout. 6. **Whole Grains:** - Whole grains were once thought to be problematic, but there’s a distinction between processed whole grain products and true whole grains. Whole grains in their natural form, like brown rice, provide better metabolic benefits and are high in fiber compared to their refined counterparts. 7. **Maple Syrup:** - Initially avoided as just another sugary syrup, maple syrup is recognized for its lower glycemic index and high antioxidant content compared to honey. It also provides essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugars. #### **Carbohydrates to Limit or Avoid:** 1. **Red Potatoes:** - While previously used as a post-workout carbohydrate source, red potatoes are now limited due to their high oxalate content. Consuming them daily may contribute to unnecessary oxalate buildup. 2. **Carb Timing:** - The timing of carbohydrate consumption has been re-evaluated. Recent studies show that the timing of carbohydrate intake doesn’t significantly impact performance or glycogen levels unless in a state of severe depletion. Consuming enough carbohydrates overall is more crucial than precisely timing them. ### Conclusion The video highlights a nuanced understanding of carbohydrates, emphasizing the importance of context and recent scientific findings in dietary choices. It encourages a shift away from rigid carbohydrate rules towards a more flexible and informed approach. This perspective underscores the potential benefits of certain carbohydrates previously considered harmful and questions the necessity of others once deemed essential. Overall, it advocates for a balanced and personalized carbohydrate intake tailored to individual health needs and goals.

Eventually we will all realize eating real whole food is all you really need to focus on. Fresh fruits and veggies, clean meats, some nuts and fermented foods and a little whole grain and beans. Eat only when you are hungry. Listen to your body. It really isn’t rocket science. If a food makes you react it is telling you something. Listen.

[@PrincessAloeVera]

white BASMATI rice is a whole grain and very easy to digest. It looks white because the bran is very thin and clear or white. It's the only grain that really works for me. Rinse it five times before you cook it or until the water is clear when rinsing. That is IMPORTANT. If you see brown basmati that is not natural and not easy to digest! It is a hybrid of natural (white) basmati and brown rice. Just try a good quality BASMATI. It is naturally white and it is really delicious and smells like buttered popcorn . Cook it just right and the texture is heavenly too. PS Popcorn is horrible for your gut. Never eat puffed rice, rice cakes or popcorn. It is the worst thing for the gut.

[@casino9240]

Great thing to know also, if your refrigerate your rice and have it the next day, you will reduce the glycemic index. Also, reheating it thereafter, reduces it even more so.

[@DebbieTDP]

Basmati rice is rice, higher glycemic index than pasta 😊

[@nberkel]

Lol! I eat a ton of popcorn (literally just popped corn) everyday. I'll use it in dishes as a whole grain when I want a crunch as opposed to something soft like rice. My gut seems good 🤷‍♂️

[@PrincessAloeVera]

@@DebbieTDP yes rice is rice. I was just saying white basmati rice is a whole grain rice, as opposed to the other sticky white rice which is brown rice with the bran removed. And I like it in small amounts, a couple times a week.

[@DebbieTDP]

@@PrincessAloeVera you have wrong information, sorry. Brown basmati rice is considered a whole grain, meaning that it contains all three parts of the kernel - the germ, bran, and endosperm. Unlike brown basmati, white basmati is a refined grain, meaning that it has been stripped of many valuable nutrients during processing. Some studies suggest that eating more refined grains can negatively affect blood sugar control and may be associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes

[@JackLuong]

But isn't tapioca starch a refined starch and doesn't have much of resistance starch? And when even if it has any in its raw form, when you bake it it's cooked so any amount is turned into simple carb

[@maplin007]

In studies done on fat adapted marathoners and carb loaded marathoners it was found by muscle biopsy that the fat adapted had the same glycogen levels as the carb loaders at the races end. Also in tests for power output etc the fat adapted athletes fared much better. So you don’t need carbs for training. Whole grain rice? The reason it is eaten as white rice is its full of Arsenic let alone other nasties.

I heard cortisol briefly mentioned there and I totally agree with Dr. Saladino’s opinion on this. The impact on cortisol from eliminating carbs too much is very real. Without carbs it’s much more likely to overeat fat in an attempt to get enough calories in or undereat- which then can impact your sleep - which can impact your mental focus - which can lead to stress. Then you find yourself binging on carbs to handle the stress or trying to push through until the next day. I say this from the perspective of someone who has already met their weight loss goals however. Eliminating all carbs is effective as a short term diet and as a tool to reset your understanding and relationship to food. There may be some people out there that can completely eliminate carbs and be better off without them. I think however, the majority of people are better off with at least 100 - 200 carbs per day. I could be wrong. However, this is what I feel now, after dieting many years. Also I recommend to not skip breakfast. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
