0:00.0 | What's the first question about, who's it from and what are they asking about? |
0:19.0 | Yes, this is a question from from a while back so |
0:22.1 | thanks listeners for being patience with the with the questions you've sent on email we've had |
0:26.9 | you know such cool and exciting guests we've been just kind of loading up with those at the moment |
0:33.4 | but we're going to get to some of those and the first one is from Tim Broadhurst and |
0:38.6 | Tim is interested in kind of like where the whole zero carb carnivore thing got |
0:45.7 | zero carb and the reason he's interested is because if you think of like things like |
0:50.1 | liver and muscle meat you know those store glycogen, which is essentially, you know, |
0:55.1 | your body's carbohydrate storage. And he's curious about what the theory on raw and immediately |
1:01.4 | eaten animal products have carb content through glycogen. And how is this theory that the no-carb model |
1:10.0 | of the early man is a bit flawed, |
1:11.7 | and that through eating parts such as the liver and the skin, |
1:14.2 | man was actually getting quite a bit of carb glycogen from those type of systems. |
1:20.7 | Yeah, that's a common sort of misconception or question. |
1:31.8 | Zero carb was an artificial term made up by our guest Charles Washington we had on last last last week and so basically you know |
1:37.9 | it's absolutely correct there are some carbohydrates in different animal products |
1:42.0 | whether you take in dairy whether you take in organ meat whether you take in eggs and stuff like that. You know, as far as meat having glycogen, unless you're eating it fresh off the carcass, most of that glycogen is going to be converted to lactate within a few hours. So that's really not an issue. But true, if you eat a lot of liver, if you eat a lot of eggs, a lot of dairy, you're going to be taking some carbohydrate. And I think when they came up with the name zero carb, they were already these low carb folks, and they were really, what they wanted to say was zero carbohydrates from plant food. You know, that's what they'll tell you. But it's just a misnomer. That's why I personally prefer the term carnivory, and even that is kind of a |
2:19.2 | misnomer because some people say, well, carnivores don't eat eggs, carnivores don't eat cheese, |
2:23.1 | you know, carnivores don't season or spices because there's some little bit of plant and that stuff, |
2:26.9 | and that's true too. But that's kind of where those terms come from. You know, I think for me, |
2:34.0 | you know, realizing that your food is primarily |
2:36.1 | derived from animal. And I would say most people in a puricent are very similar to what I do |
