It’s too late. You already lost. I destroyed your feeble mind with the last post. Move on to your next fail.
Way to go there champ!
By the way, impaired physical performance is associated with a low carbohydrate diet.

Impaired physical performance is a common but not obligate result of a low carbohydrate diet. Lessons from traditional Inuit culture indicate that time for adaptation, optimized sodium and potassium nutriture, and constraint of protein to 15–25 % of daily energy expenditure allow unimpaired endurance performance despite nutritional ketosis.
Judging by this thread, impaired intellectual function is also associated with a low carbohydrate diet!
It’s a yes or no question, and the answer is yes.
And most or much sugar is harmful. Vegetable carbs are fine, even from natural tubers if you are slim, along with fruits sparingly.
The old food pyramid Is wrong, and so is the new food plate.
Drop grains from your diet, especially gluten ones. Save sweets for special occasions: ice cream, things baked with nut or gluten free flours.
Fill up on healthy animals, coconut oil, olive oil for salads only, butter, organic full fat dairy. All kinds of veggies, fruit for treats or garnish. You will feel like a million bucks and you will be Nourished! Food will be delightful again! Most of your body has been made sick by grains, and it will be satiated with healthy fats.
Awwww you’re so cute! But why umad?
You are wronger than wrong. Did you design the food pyramid that made everyone fat and sick?
The majority of your calories should come from fat, then protein, a small amount of carbs. Serious competitive athletes might need more carbs than the sedentary, but they do not need grains at all. Potatoes and fruit can give them all the carbs they need. Some dark chocolate, some wine. Period.
A diet high in carbs is a diet high in sugar.
Your body can burn either sugar or fat for fuel. If your diet is high in carbs, you will be a sugar burner and you will always be hungry. You will always crave carbs. You will be living on the brink of metabolic syndrome and preparing to be struck with any number of diseases.
What successful societies (other than Eskimos) have had their members gain the majority of their calories from fat?
You are another excellent example of how a low carb diet seems to impair cognitive function!
All I know is this. I stopped eating any carbs last week. I bought and read, “Why We Get Fat.” I lost 3.5 pounds in a week and I wasn’t hungry. I am sticking with this for a while to see if it works.
I am not against a low carb diet for someone who is having health problems due to being overweight.
I am against idiots who think their own restrictive diet is something everyone should be on in almost every situation -of whatever ilk - vegans, vegetarians, atkinsites, kosher, or whatever.
I am FOR a recognition that Olympic caliber athletes get the majority of their calories from carbohydrates, that healthy people (unless they are Eskimos) should as well, and that biochemically we are set up to metabolize carbohydrates as our primary energy source.
