Your body can make its own carbs -- and it is the best way to get carbs

There is a false myth that humans have to eat carbs because the body can't make them (whereas it can make protein and fat). In fact, the body can make carbs, the process is called gluconeogenesis.

gluco = sugar
neo = new
genesis = creation

= creating new sugar

How? The body makes sugar out of several amino acids, a key one being glycine. Common high glycine foods include meats, the highest being chicken breast.

Gluconeogenesis the best way to get carbs (though you still usually need other sources in addition) because all the carbs will get used properly and none will be wasted. Gluconeogenesis produces just the right amount of carbs that go to muscle glycogen and/or blood sugar but will not make excess carbs that turn to fat. Now that's efficient.

If you think about it, carnivorous animals have to be able to make their own carbs because carbs are necessary to feed fast-twitch muscles which only run on sugar. Cats, for examples, are carnivores and obviously have fast-twitch muscles to pounce.

Key points:
-your body will make sugar through gluconeogenesis from your muscle if you don't eat protein and have low blood sugar. That's why people who go on low-carb diets without enough protein lose their muscle mass and become skeletons.

-gluconeogenesis doesn't work when you eat fructose.-gluconeogenesis is really useful for diabetics -- you can have your carbs but can't have high blood due to gluconegogenesis

Fisetin - a breakthrough special weapon against AGEs, sugar overload and diabetes

Overview
In a nutshell, after searching for years for something that can remove super-damaging AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) from the body, scientists finally found something that works well--Fisetin, an extract from strawberries. This is huge news for diabetics who suffer from extreme levels of AGEs, but pretty much everyone should take Fisetin because sugar overload is a pandemic in our society. I'm not selling anything, just putting out the message.

AGEs - the primary problem of the modern sugar-overload diet
Imagine you burn sugar in a pan until it caramelizes. It browns and sticks to the bottom, hard to get off.

This same phenomenon happens in the body when you eat way too much sugar, it is called glycation. Excess blood sugar caramelizes and forms particles which float around and stick all over the body, including stiffening/cementing the arteries and the heart. These sticky, hardened sugar particles are called AGEs - Advanced Glycation End Products. Fructose, in particular, is notorious for turning into AGEs in the body. Heart disease, Alzheimer's, and the circulation issues caused by diabetes -- including purple limbs that require amputation -- have been linked directly to AGEs.

Scientists have been looking high and low for ways to get rid of AGEs because the body is very slow in removing them.

Fisetin - the first AGE-breaker
After many years of searching for "AGE-breakers" i.e. something to clear the body of AGEs, scientists finally found Fisetin -- an extract from strawberries. You would need to eat about 50 strawberries to get the equivalent of one fisetin capsule, so strawberries won't do the trick.

Fisetin is no joke -- it is extremely effective at removing AGEs, and right now there is really nothing else on the market that does it. Remarkably, it is also relatively cheap.

In a few years everyone will be taking Fisetin.

Fisetin uniquely combats effects of the modern sugar-overload diet
Due to our modern sugar-based diet, just about every American has consumed astronomically-excessive amounts of sugar and therefore has a severe overload of AGEs stuck in the body. Even if you changed to a more healthy diet later in life, the AGEs from all the soda and candy you had as a kid are still stuck all over the body, wreaking havoc on organs and arteries. The good news is that that Fisetin can remove these AGEs.

In my view, in the future Fisetin and other AGE-breakers will save literally hundreds of thousands of people from heart disease and the effects of diabetes, two of the three biggest health problems today. It could actually save limbs from being amputated.

How much can you take? I have taken up to 10 fisetin capsules a day with no real negative side effects. Again, it is just an extract from strawberries.

Top 7 Most Common Reactions to Your High-Fat Diet (and How to Respond)

Note: BUT -- the key is not to eat fat and carbs together, that combination will cause problems. Just a big hunk of fat alone can be a good snack, a tablespoon of coconut oil or butter or even sugar-free chocolate. It can keep you going for hours steadily.

23andme is on sale

23andme is an extremely valuable DNA test featured on the PBS show show “Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.” It tells you a wide variety of genetic traits simply based on DNA taken from some saliva that you spit into a little tube and send back to them. I it  includes everything from what specific part of the world your halpogroup (both mother and father sides) come from to your eye color genes and 100s of other traits. I did it myself it was very revealing. Here are a handful of traits it can tell you about:

-Disease risk for Alzheimer's, hemochromotosis, etc.
-Eye/hair color genes
-Map of your genetic ancestry as well as subgroups. My mom-side haplogroup turned out to be a remote group from cold northern regions around Ukraine who spread to Finland and other places in Northern/Eastern Europe. My dad-side came from Doggerland a piece of land now sunk under the North Sea that once connected to Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Makes sense he has British, Dutch, and German roots among others.

Just to give an example, Thomas Jefferson actually had a haplogroup from North Africa around Egypt.

The service is on sale right now for $99 which is a steal it is normally $299 or more.

I'm not selling anything but I can say this is a good deal even at $299, $99 is a no-brainer.

If you're looking for a slow-burning carb, oats are it

Oats have been the standard slow-burning carb for athletes for decades. Bodybuilders who need carbs but want to avoid spiking insulin have eaten oats multiple times a day. Oats also are high in insoluble fiber and contain purines which make food "rich" i.e. feel like it sticks to your ribs.

Vegetables for non-vegetables people

I never really was a big vegetables person. But veggies are necessary not only for their nutrients but to fill you up and absorb water.

-"chunky" vegetables have water and fiber which tend to fill you up.
-alkaline vegetables really help balance your system
-leafy greens can be a whole lot better when they're cooked (sauteed etc.) and in butter

I like

Onions (whole onion a day)
Steamed broccoli and cauliflower (just thrown a little water in a pan and steam 5 min)
Organic low-sodium pickles from Whole Foods - it is amazing what kinds of sludge is found in all the pickles sold at regular grocery stores: all brands contain sugar and food dyes and/or artificial flavorings

Seaweed is also really good for you, it provides iodine for your thyroid which speeds up metabolism.

I love tomatoes but can't eat them, nightshade.

All of these are low carb.
