How do we explain Dr.Doug Graham’s “80/10/10″ , (80%carbs), raw-fooders, who eat all they want within these guidelines . If anything, most of them seem too thin but are , in fact, usually very high-energy & quite strong.
@lazur1
There is no obligation to explain this. You have to first prove, with double blind experiments, that your assertion is true. Untill you do that, it is far removed from being a fact.
@SeanK Invoking science & doing it are 2 different things. A popuiation larger than most ’scientific’ smaples has a diet claimed to cause over-fatness & diabetes, are consistently NOT over-fat nor diabetic. Good enough for me. I can’t read every word of every experiment, but many double-blind papers I HAVE read contain contradictions between results & conclusions, too-small samples, & loose controls. Read Princeton’s HFCS paper, it contains all of these problems.
@lazur1 You are missing the point. I can not accept your claim without evidence. I have not heard of “Dr.Doug Graham’s “80/10/10″ , (80%carbs), raw-fooders”. You first have to proove to me they exist. Once you have done that, you still have to provide evicence that they are heathly (being skinny is not the same as been fit and healthy).
@SeanKimpton Prove it on a youtube forum? All I can do is possibly get fellow posters interested: The material’s not hard to find. Princeton didn’t publish their HFCS paper on a youtube forum: Just folks regurgitating conclusions from the news.
@lazur1 Okay, I just checked out some info on this diet. I don’t see a problem. Taubes’ thesis is that refined carbs makes us fat. This sort of food is clearly discouraged within the 80/10/10 raw framework. Contradiction resolved.
@lazur1, Those raw-fooders must be Insulin Resistant and not store excess fat. When you pair a high carb diet with an Insulin Sensitive liver, then you will start to store fat.
