Wheat Belly / Super Gut / Unholy Trinity - Carbs, Sugars, & Oils make us sick & addicted

I quit eating grains & peanut butter a few months ago, and feel much better. I used to eat PP&J, on high fiber bread, for lunch every day for years...or Apples/ Bananas and peanut butter.

I substituted peanut butter for almond/ cashew butter, and noticed a big difference.

The big food corporations bribed our govt and have been poisoning us for decades.

Our government has their hand in the farmlands big time. Anything getting farmed is very "sus." Government has been trying to steer people away from meats and into more farmed foods. They're definitely messing with the product.

Side note: I tried the Rebel ice cream, but I think the Erythritol was causing some bloating. I try not eating anything that ends in "-ol."

Erythritol doesn't seem to bother me that bad. It gives my son the absolute explosive squirts, though.

yall overcomplicate shite so much and will do anything but admit...you eat to god damn much

Agree.

Move more. Eat less.

Cutting carbs while staying in a caloric deficit helped me get to my goal weight. It was an easy diet. It worked for me. Now that I know how to take care of myself through CICO, exercising, and food tracking, I don't feel bad in the slightest for eating some pasta or other carbs.

I do try to stay away from vegetable oils as much as I can. Not because of what a book told me but me seeing with my own eyes the process of creating as I've done reno work in some oil plants. Nope for me dawg.

I was expecting this to turn into a gurt thread.

2 slices of whole wheat bread has more glucose than a snickers bar.

Wait to see how much hidden sugar is in Protein bars that are masked as healthy options .. You're better of still eating the snickers.. At least they taste good..

To simplify……avoid processed foods.
Just eat things that are real.

I did this exactly. Now its just a lifestyle change and I pretty much get all my carbs from fruit and veggies during the week with rice occasionally mixed in. This leaves me available the night before a long weekend run to eat my hearts desire in rice/pasta/bread/cereal.

these do not make you fat nor sick nor are they really addictive

any insistence that they do means you have a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and you are being sold something by a snake oil salesman

1) carbs dont make you fat. we have decades of data, multiple meta analysis and at least 2 dozen extremely controlled studies that show that once calories and protein are equated...where the rest of the calories come from dont matter very much in terms of body fat loss. until you are below max 12% none of that shite matters. every single study done shows the laws of thermodynamics are still in play

and i say that as someone that does IF and Keto. there is nothing special about it. just a way to control caloires

2) we have studies showing the so called evil seed oils use actually lower cholesterol and show a lowering of all cause mortality. again somehting that fricking doesnt matter

super gut/wheat belly bullshite is at best an intolerance of that food. sure some foods cause issues for some people. if i eat whatever i want carb wise, i get gas like a MOFO and its why i stick to pretty much only white rice or potatoes 90% of the time if i am eating carbs. its just a food intolerance, doesnt mean its some super deep "super gut" or "wheat belly"


cutting carbs is not going to fix your issue. any weight you lose is not due to cutting the carbs, its from cutting calories and eating non-processed foods that are highly satiating. the cutting of a whole macro group out is causing you to eat less

imagine that.


look unless you are below 15% on a dexa while at a FFMI of say 22.....then stop worrying about this shite. just hit your calorie goal while eating 1-1.25g protein per lbs of bodyweight and then eat the rest of the calories with whatever the frick you want that makes you feel good and allows you to stay compliant.

then lift 2-4x per week, walk 8k steps and do some hard conditioning 2x per week. STOP OVER COMPLICATING THINGS!!
