What is so interesting about the above video is the timing from ingestion to effect or symptoms which was really short?
You have two choices and maybe three:
MACRONUTRIENTS:
Sugar:
- You choose to burn or oxidize glucose and you eat too much of it as you age you start storing it as fat.
Fat:
- You choose to burn or oxidize fat and you eat too much of it you start storing it as fat.
Protein:
- You eat only lean protein and you eat too much of it for too long, you may start becoming malnutritioned and risk micronutritional deficiencies and loss of beneficial gut bacteria and possible bone density long-term?
MICRONUTRIENTS:
-
Too much of one or some (essential vitamins) and not enough of to absorb the others or the toxicity of one?
-
Phytonutrient Anti-oxidant in ratio to carbohydrate intake?
-
There are no essential foods only essential nutrients[3]?
Footnotes:
[1] ”…Our rationale is based on four basic and well-established principles:
- Meals contain an assortment of nutrients, not a single nutrient.
- Each meal or food item has a different assortment (ratio) of nutrients.
- Most of the nutrients function in various tissues and are not tissue specific [2].
- Nutrients are not limited to one specific metabolic pathway [2]. …” Source: Utilizing Dietary Nutrient Ratios in Nutritional Research: Expanding the Concept of Nutrient Ratios to Macronutrients

More importantly, is there a way to not only avoid these deficiencies, but to replace and correct them? How can we feel better (and healthier) when we’re shedding pounds when dieting? Let’s take a closer look at what the evidence shows us and how we can hack our way to nutrient and weight-loss success simultaneously. …” …More
