Default Re: Two weeks on low carb

Thank you Liv! I agree with you on the one mindedness, interesting how this is with everyone of them...Do you think if they give you a few directions it would take more time for them? The root of the one mindedness maybe. Anyway....
I'm still blown away by all this energy on very little carbs! Here is something interesting from esolve.com...Ask most health experts how athletes should eat, and you’re likely to hear about a high carbohydrate diet—fruit, pasta, bagels, granola bars, rice. But if all this is true, how do you explain the Inuit of Northern Canada and the Arctic, who could run 30 miles a day beside their sleds, eating a diet that was 85% fat, 15% protein, and carbohydrate free? How do you explain an explorer named Stephanson who lived among the Inuit, ate what they ate, and stayed healthier than explorers eating European food? What about the professional cyclists who ate Inuit style? The more they adapted to a high fat, very low carb diet, the more they could exercise just as fast and long as they had when they were eating mostly carbs...

Thanks again,
Laura
