Very decent hypothesis.

[necon76]

Ugh.

Because they don't eat in a caloric surplus.

Mind = blown.

I can see even the basics of nutrition are still foreign to you, aren't they?

Tunisia, is the smallest country in North Africa. It is a Maghreb country bordered by Algeria to the west, Libya to the southeast and the Mediterranean Sea including Italy and Malta to the north and east.

I do however disagree that French people do not consume very much sugar and carbs though, but they do tend to eat smaller portion sizes. They aren't exactly the model of health however--the French smoke and drink like chimney's/fish. source: I live beside Quebec/family is half French.

Bruno Diaz is what Batman was called in Spain/Portugal I believe.

Just curious, why do you guys bother posting if you find the subject uninteresting? I'm obviously not trying to appeal to the hardcore nutrition folk, just your average user.

Just curious, why'd you ask for intelligent responses in your other thread only to ignore me when I made one?

You know during xmas and Easter my whole family get together and at the table a debate starts about nutrition, subject always is how bad Assyrian and Persian food is for health.

My dad’s uncle who is around 90 years old 6’3 built like a brick (yes i got the 5hitty genes) gets up and tells my short fat uncles
“I've been eating the same food as you all since I was a boy the only difference is I exercise while you guys sit on a couch watching TV I work on a farm”
Moral of the story? Calorie in vs Calorie out

Decent as in, "I'm a carbophobe, hear me roar" kind of decent?

Here's a tip. If you're driving down the highway & the road is full of cars coming directly towards you, it's not everyone else that's in the wrong lane.

How is this interesting? The answer could not be more obvious, and if its not looks at post #3, this is the answer to your question.

Plus the fact you think eating carbs would not make you lean is just ridiculous.

[mattvdh]

so do you guys think that users in the keto section are dumbasses?

[costahobo]

This is the average diet of Costa Rica:



Rice, beans, meat, fried plantains, another starchy carb, and a salad. Very carb heavy, and Costa Ricans are skinny. It's so rare that I see a fat local. It's getting more common as all the american fast food joints came down here, but fat people are just rare here.

They also walk a lot, practically everywhere.

[necon76]

^God damn that looks good.

[Gxp23]

so do you guys think that users in the keto section are dumbasses?

Why? Because they do the same thing as we do without the addition of carbs (or a very small amount in comparison) because they perform better with dietary fats as their energy source? No I do not.

The lack of an answer provided, answers your question.

^God damn that looks good.

The veggies are presented so well.

[Gxp23]

So I guess you guys are subscribed to the keto section? lol

Nope.

Only if they think Keto is magical. I'd never run Keto as it makes you flatter than Necon's pancake ass, but to each their own. If they like the diet then they are welcome to use it.
