Carbs and soy, I get a lot of those questions. Many people are afraid of both. Thanks for this video. I LOVE the recipes in the Starch Solution, all of the ones I have tried have been amazing. 🙂
Thanks for this! I agree we should be focusing on the FOODS and their quality rather than the macronutrient! Obviously we need ALL THREE for great health! Likewise, it is also important to note that the "healthiest societies" had all sorts of different macronutrient profiles. Asians, as you mentioned, eat a lot of carbs and have historically had good health. Eskimos ate prodominately fat, and enjoyed very low rates of heart disease, likely because of their omega-3 consumption in addition to their physical activity. The commonality between many of these groups? They all eat REAL food, not processed JUNK! So, eat real food, based on what YOUR body responds to best!
