Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I think the trouble is that what a lot of people think of as a " low carb " diet because it contains no starch or sugar which we haven't evolved to assimilate without repercussions anyway, still provides an adequate carb count. Not real low-carb diet. Bonnie. , surpriseshan2 wrote: > > This is a newsletter I recently started receiving from Dr. > Uffe Ravnskow.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Adequate carb count? So far as I know, there is no need for carbs in human nutrition. No RDA for carbs. We get some carbs in most all non-animal foods, but no need for high carb foods, like rice, beans, corn, grains, imo.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Exactly. I eat a semi-raw paleolithic diet, and feel great. I avoid cooked and processed foods. I eat meats/ organs/ pliable bone/ cartilage- mostly free range/ organic, some veggies, some nuts, and some fruits. No rice, grains, legumes, dairy, etc. Best, Michelle , Alobar <Alobar wrote: > > Adequate carb count? So far as I know, there is no need for carbs > in human nutrition. No RDA for carbs.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 (Moderator's Note: Everyone here needs to learn about complex carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates and to use those terms, or similar, when discussing this issue.) I agree. As a member of candidiasis and crohnscolitis I can say the first thing misinformed people think is that such a diet is low carb but it really isn't because we eat vegetables. Lots of 'em.
