The Truth About Protein, Carbs and Fats

The Truth About Protein, Carbs and Fats
People know that by eating a high protein and low carb, low
fat diet, they will lose weight. But it is not worth it.
When you eat too much of carbs or fats, you store it as
body fat. When you eat too much protein, where do you store
it? Your body cannot store it. The body has to get rid of
it. It breaks it down. People eat way too much protein.
When the protein is broken down, it creates toxins and
acids.

The acids cause your body to remove calcium from your bones
to neutralize the acids. The toxins from the breakdown of
protein, attacks your arteries and can lead to high blood
pressure, heart attacks and strokes. College textbooks on
nutrition say that protein deficiency is rare in the world
and does not exist in this part of the world. That means
that while there are millions of people starving because
they are not getting enough carbs and fats, it is rare to
get enough of them but not enough protein.

The brain needs lots of carbs. If a person does not get
enough, he can get depressed. This can lead to someone
killing themselves. So it is not worth it to lose some
weight and end up dead. Also the brain needs plenty of
carbohydrates for you to sleep well. If you are not getting
enough carbs, that can make it hard to sleep leading to
mental problems and even a nervous breakdown.

Of course the good carbs from foods made by nature like
fruits and vegetables are good for you. The bad carbs from
foods made by man are bad for you, like cookies, donuts and
candy. These foods are designed to make you fat and
addicted to food. The unholy grains, like wheat and rice
are also bad for you. The whole grains like whole wheat,
brown rice, wild rice, millet, barley, buckwheat, kamut,
spelt and quinoa are good for you.

Fats are needed to lubricate the brain, arteries and skin.
A lack of good fat (like omega-3) can cause you to become
depressed. It can also lead to high blood pressure, heart
attacks and strokes. Also it can cause skin problems. The
bad fats are bad for you. But the good fats are good for
you. Fish cannot be included as good fats since there is
too much mercury in them from pollution. But you can get
good fat from avocados. It is 60% fat and it is great for
you. It is even anti-inflammatory which can help your
joints.

When they are soft but not mushy, they are good to eat.
Sometimes they have brown in them and they are not good so
it is like a gamble buying them. But it is well worth it.
Other good fats are olives, olive oil, canola oil, nuts and
seeds. Studies with olive oil show that it helps your
arteries and helps you to be thinner. Flaxseeds, walnuts
and pumpkin seeds are good sources of omege3s, a fat that
people do not get enough of.
