If fat makes you fat, how come low carb equals low energy? Look, it doesn't matter what you eat, as long as your energy intake is higher than consuption - that's what makes you fat. The worst thing you can eat is high carb and high fat, as that results in high energy intake. Your bloodsugar controls your eating, that depends on the glycemic load, meaning it doesn't virtually matter if you eat 100 or 20 grams fat with your 300 grams carbs, because the amount of carbs controls your appetite anyway. Based on studies, low carb and high fat is the most effective diet to lose weight - because it results in spontanious reduction in energy intake (due to steady bloodsugar levels and improved leptin metabolism).
Cancer cells feed on carbs - is different from causing it. Keep in mind, just like people eating LCHF, vegans do not eat many of those foods that cause inflammation (that is the "direct" cause of cancer). Vegans eat less processed food, no bread, less (non-natural) trans fats. And many of the vegans I know (that isn't many) eat low carb and high fat. |
Thanks for link. When people live on low carb diets, such as paleo or ketogenic. Your energy levels go way down. Which why most people on those diets drink coffee and other caffeine drinks all day just to function. Same with body building. A lot of competitive body builders go on low carb diets when cutting and lose strength and have low energy.
Most raw food or mostly raw food vegans are on 80/10/10(80% carbs/10% protein/10% fat) or something close. I myself do 70/20/10. Really unless they are vegan body builder or strong man, fat intake is usually pretty low.
