I was just on one the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Forum" and I noticed a discussion on "safe starches". Here is part of it:
"…mitochondrial dysfunction in the pre-obese, the formerly obese, and the obese who are still gaining weight is an known and quantified problem. The carnitine shuttle and the entire TCA cycle are impaired, leading to a lack of metabolic flexibility. (Normally we switch back and forth to burn glucose when our blood sugar is high or we're exerting ourselves over 50-60% VO2max, and to burn fat at rest...while the impaired are stuck burning a combination of both in all circumstances.)…"
Someone answered the above post with the following:
"People keep over analyzing things.
No other species has to worry endlessly about what to eat or try to figure it out. Humans spend endless hours debating the chemistry of food and people are still getting bigger and more sick.
Cut the sugar, grains, bread and processed Frankenfood and get on with life. The rest is not complicated…."
My reply: "Right on. That sums it up. It ain't rocket science."
Some get bogged down in the science of it. Then there are those who think it can't be that simple. there has to be more to it. They think you can't lose weight and be healthy with out being on a diet, counting calories, eating low fat, eating "healthy" grains, running several miles a day and so on and so on.
It's not complicated, it's not a burden, it's the way people have lived for thousands of years.
One of my favorite words is FREEDOM. We have been set free, we know the truth.
"Then you know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."
If you haven't read it yet you should get "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis.
On the latest episode of "Underground Wellness" Sean interviews Dr. Davis. Give it a listen.
Enjoy your freedom. It ain't rocket science.
