- joeyspn 11y agoI followed a diet with that kind of macros for several years, it definitely works wonders. Ate a lot of complex carbs (oats, white pasta, white rice, etc) seven days a week... But cutting sugars I think it's more of an overall health choice. Sugar causes inflammation everywhere in the body which leads to many serious diseases [0] ... After a detox period of few months I'll start to slowly reintroduce healthier complex carbs (brown rice, brown pasta, etc). In the meantime I'll just get carbs from veggies... The bolus of blood sugar that accompanies a meal or snack of highly refined carbohydrates (white bread, white rice, French fries, sugar-laden soda, etc.) increases levels of inflammatory messengers called cytokines. Eating whole-grain bread, brown rice, and other whole grains smooths out the after-meal rise in blood sugar and insulin, and dampens cytokine production.[0] [0] http://www.health.harvard.edu/family_health_guide/what-you-eat-can-fuel-or-cool-inflammation-a-key-driver-of-heart-disease-diabetes-and-other-chronic-conditions http://www.health.harvard.edu/family_health_guide/what-you-e...
