Why would anyone do such a thing? The poor canned pork shoulder! Fats provide energy and keep the stomach full for a long time, nevermind the flavour in the fat

Why would anyone do such a thing? The poor canned pork shoulder! Fats provide energy and keep the stomach full for a long time, nevermind the flavour in the fat. People should eat more carbohydrates and fat and less protein, to give their liver and kidneys a break.

- swiftcoder 2y ago> if you fully eliminate carbs, you'll be fine. For some definition of "fine", at any rate. Outside of groups like the Inuit who eat a lot of organ meat to compensate, we don't have a great idea of what sort of long-term nutrient deficiencies you may accrue by eschewing all fibre and carbohydrate-based foods.
- 123yawaworht456 2y agowell, yes, you can't eliminate fruits and vegetables if you aren't supplementing micronutrients. I wasn't implying you can. I was just saying that carbohydrates themselves - glucose, fructose, and all the others - are not essential for us to function.
- HarryHirsch 2y agoYes, gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway, but it wouldn't be satisfactory to rely on in, just as it wouldn't be fun to live without spices. (Also, how do you manage to have sex with someone on their ketopaleo diet? Send them into the shower just before and eat Viagra because of the weird odour?)
