I wish it detailed the types of carbs.
Carbs from whole grains and things like fruit are different from processed carbs where the supporting parts of the food are removed. That's why Keto bread will look at fiber compared to total carbs. It depends on the form of carb.
I wish the overview touched on the different types of carbs and their impact. Not all carbs are alike.

Honestly, I think the whole fiber intake stuff is bs. Anecdotally, I feel much better on a low fiber high protein diet than anything else. So does the rest of my family. My opinion on carbs is that you should only eat them when you're going to burn them quickly. That's what they're for, to give you a big energy boost. They're not for consuming and then sitting on your ass.
- mfer 3y agoLow fiber can leave you feeling good in the short term but it has long term health implications, I've read. The book Fiber Fueled [1] talks about what happens with fiber in our gut and the impact on our bodies at a high level. The author (an MD GI doctor) provides the scientific background for his claims for those that want it.
