it’s working through the carbs that is the problem. And as you’ve pointed out, complex carbs are easier to work through.
No I meant sugars are the problem. But in terms of lowering the total % of calories coming from fats+carbs to <=protein calories yes carbs are the problem for most people. Also listed contexts where they're fine. Complex carbs like in chickpeas are harder to work through and yield like 30% less calories, also you have to chew them which is good for your jaw & facial muscles.:bateman-ontological:
high end endurance athletes like rowers and runners eat a lot of carbs upwards of 300g but I see people banking energy using complex carbs. I don't know anyone who drinks sugar while working out. I take oranges with me as a snack if I'm going to bike really far.
For fats specifically for like a huge ass super muscly but not scary looking dude you take up to 55g of fats 150+ grams of protein & carbs each typically. (Protein going up based on physique really and carbs being there for energy of course, because the body loves to eat muscles alive unfortunately protein is a great energy source)
What makes you say that? Complex carbohydrates will burn 35% of their calories as heat during digestion. Sugars only 2-10%, it's like drinking predigested food. It causes diabetes & wrecks your intestines. You can still get then from fibrous fruit and in moderation, like tea. It's not that bad but crazy to say carbs are just the problem imho.
Plus many complex carbs come with fiber, like durum, potatoes, and beans. You can get very ripped just eating that stuff. See the world record vegan bodybuilder.
tl;dr - balanced but large amt of complex carbs and proteins with a small amount of fats emphasizing omega 3s (this seems to have helped but who knows) fixed my lingering coldness and anxiety
Vegetables and citrus are fine, oranges and apples aren't even considered to be a fast-break by most people
Oh also potassium is really important for your brain, heart, and muscles LMAO, eat a bag of cabbage or spinach every 2 days. Or like 5 potatoes a day mix and match with other stuff 💀
You can get sugars from grapefruits and oranges without destroying yourself. All the plant matter really helps.
generally sugary breads etc will just annihilate me too. Sugary drinks are generally verboten. I'd rather rub pumice on my teeth. Unless I have a toothbrush on me lol. (Ok maybe this is melodramatic if you also have some water to rinse it out, it can't be that bad) If I make a smoothie or something I add fiber powder to it & I brush after
I think there are vodka cocktails with wine, or at least punches. My issue with all sugary alcohols is acids cleanse the booze flavor with 99% efficacy, while sugar struggles to achieve any cleaning, although it can mask well when dumped in. I'd rather just east a pickle or an orange than turn it into syrup
