It's low carb, not no carb, [censored]. LCers eat plenty of veggies and some
fruits, and probably get more fiber than most regular folks eating a [censored]
diet full of junk.

There is no essential carb....the body can make everything it needs to
function on a zero carb diet, even though we here do eat carbs, typically in
the form of veggies (generally no potatos, corn, starchy stuff, etc.) and
low carb fruits.

There is rarely a situation where glycogen is not present in a normal person
on LC.

The body can produce it's own carbs (glucose) and well as ketones which also
serve as fuel.

Not to mention that about 58% of dietary protein turns to glucose.

You think about it.

Yeah, it keeps you from burning fat stores.

Sat fat isn't bad for you if you're aren't overeating and consuming
[censored] of carbs.

Not to mention that many cuts of red meat are higher in monounstaturated
fats and poly fats than saturated. Further, these fats have never been
shown to promote disease in the absence of high glycemic levels.

The brain prefers ketones, and can get its residual glucose requirement
met by protein converted to glucose.

I'm eating boatloads more salads and veggies to take up the space on my
plate and in my diet that nutrient impoverished, high glycemic starches
used to fill.

Complex carbs is a phrase that's been discredited. It means nothing in
health or dietary terms, only as a chemical bond descriptor.

Right. Every biochemistry text makes the point that there are only
essential fats and proteins in human nutrition.

I think the "exercise student" is someone other than the OP. Her post is
questioning what "he" said.
