Fibrous carbs? I've never come across broccoli being classed as a carb before. I've heard it as 1/3 protein, 1/3 carb, 1/3 fruit and veg.

Most fruit and veg are also carbs. The difference is between good fibrous carbs, the ones that are nutritious, filling and low on calories like most green vegetables including broccoli and spinach, and "bad" starchy carbs(note the commas) like potatoes, pasta or rice which are not very nutritious but are high in calories and sugars which our bodies need for energy.

  Do you mean fibre when you say fibrous carbs?

    By "fibrous carbs" he means foodstuffs which are fibrous (containing, consisting of, or resembling fibers), and whose energy mainly comes from carbohydrates (as opposed to fat or protein).

Or you can just eat nothing but beef ribs and have the body of an adonis. Be suspicious of all advice for nutrition. The best I’ve ever felt in my life I ate nothing but ultraprocessed pork sausages with cheese and kimchi for six months. Slimmed down and felt amazing.

  If going carnivore, best to eat nose to tail and favor ruminants (pasture raised eggs are also a good option). Also a good idea to add couple fasted days a month.

  I eat a diet consisting mostly of starches, fat, and protein (including red meat), with some fruits added on (and basically no vegetables). I have a small stomach and live an active lifestyle so I have to load up on carbs to avoid getting exhausted during sports / activities. I also just dislike vegetables. I got a bloodwork done at my last medical appointment and it came back perfect. High good cholesterol, low bad cholesterol, all the fats, proteins, etc. in the best ranges. The doctor then proceeded to go over all the things I must be doing right to have such good bloodworks but the only things I was actually doing were not ingesting too much sugar and exercising a lot. On everything else my diet basically consisted of the opposite of what is recommended.

If so, do you mind me asking what vitamins they tested for and how they came out?

      I don't know why this is getting downvoted when it seems like a valid question to ask someone who does not eat any vegetables. Vitamin deficiencies can develop subtly into extremely serious problems. I have a condition that means I am more prone to them and, after having had mild scurvy, a vitamin D deficiency, a copper deficiency, a selenium deficiency, and many others, I would not wish them on my worst enemy. Most of the symptoms are basically not noticable, and develop so slowly that you don't realise them and tend to just get used to it, but they can cause A Lot Of Problems. Most of the main sources come from vegetables.
