I don't know. And I always hear like, oh, you're going to the gym. Do like that. I go, I probably get 10 grams of carbs in in the morning, but I don't really do much. I just don't feel good. So I don't know. No. Oatmeal in the morning makes me feel crappy. So I think I don't think it's peasant food, Dave. And, you know, clearly, you know, you want to eat the gluten free.
So in a not a gluten plant and organic and blah, blah, blah. But. I don't tend to eat grains, so I just feel better without them.
Well, but here's the thing with the whole glucose spike thing. You know, there's the spike and there's the under the curve. Yes. If you are very metabolically healthy and you eat something and your blood sugar goes up 60 points and comes right back down, who the heck cares? True. Who cares?
Like, why are we getting so whacked about this? First of all, I can't stand the idea that we're going to use apple cider vinegar so we can eat a donut. I'm like, you missed the plot. You've totally missed the plot here. Right. And, you know. Isn't the whole point of this to have a slow rise, slow fall? And if you do have something that's going to take it up, it comes straight back down again.
And if you do notice it comes up, do some freaking air squats. Right, right. You know, but it's really, where's the problem with glucose?
It's total. How could it be like, OK, so I think this is where they come from is they'll look at them in terms of weight loss, but they're not looking at body composition and fat fat.
No.
So yes. Okay. Because there was the Twinkie diet guy. Remember the nutrition scientist? He was like, okay. So yes, if you do caloric restriction and you eat total garbage and caloric restriction, you could lose weight, but they're not doing body composition and going, is it muscle? Am I accumulating more visceral adipose tissue? What is going on?
What I used to always say is your body's not a bank account, it's a chemistry lab. However, thermodynamics matter. So I think your body is a bank account, but it's also a chemistry lab.
Yeah.
And it's a history book. So, you know, traumas matter, insulin resistance matters, toxins matter. So you look at history book and it's like toxins and trunk. Then you look at the bank account and go, well, you can't just, too much healthy food's not healthy, right?
And then you look at chemistry lab and go, but ultimately you could eat the same diet, same amount of calories, but if your calories were high in fructose, high in carbs, high in seed oils, and low in protein, you would have a very different body composition than someone who was eating a high protein, the right types of fat, and a little bit of high fiber carbs with lots of polyphenols.
It would be very different. You would have very different health. But that argument with the bros, they're looking at weight. Yeah. And they're not looking at metabolic health markers. And if they are, they're not looking at them over time. I mean, one month, like, you know, they'll say the diet that heals you isn't the diet for long term.
Like, that's the whole thing, I think, with carnivore diets. Like, hey, it can be a great thing for a month to two months to three months as an elimination diet and get people out of the food noise. But is that the long term thing for your gut microbiome? I don't think so.
Yeah. Well, I mean, I just think the, you know, let's look at your visceral adipose tissue. Yeah. Like let's just do that. Let's do a waist, a waist to hip and we'll just do it. You know, put people on the same thing. You, no way. No. And maybe for a couple of weeks, but like a couple months.
Now that we got that out of the way. Yeah. Had to do that.
It was, Ben. I mean, we had amazing scientists there had it not been taken over.
It is bizarre. Why? Like, could you imagine someone getting shamed going on a diabetes medication or a high blood pressure medication?
No.
Like, or even using, say, BPC-157? No. Teptide?
