« on: August 21, 2010, 02:18:04 am »Hans' argument is not scientific but psychological. He was doing great on very low carb, and in fact, his body rewarded him by making him sick when he ate junk, i.e. carbs. But he WANTED to be "normal" and eat "normal" people food, which is of course, rubbish. Since he WANTED to eat these "normal" foods that make others look fat, skinny fat and gross, he justified a NEED for carbs. Thus he justified that he NEEDED carbs so that he could tolerate the junk when he ate it. That makes sense. If you want to eat junk and be mediocre, might as well eat that which makes you mediocre. You are, after all, what you eat.
Think about these points:
Vegans feel crappy when they eat meat after abstaining from it for a long time - Is that their body rewarding them by making them sick from eating "junk", i.e. meat? Or maybe they lose the ability to digest wholesome food because they don't eat it for too long?
About fat, skinny fat and gross - look at durianrider... he eats nothing but carbs. Or look at the Kitavans.
About mediocrity - I fail to see how making carbs make anyone mediocre. Care to give an example?
