Whoever made that first "eww, carbs" comment is at fault.

Seriously though, avoiding carbs might get the end results, but is sacrificing a lot of nutrition in getting there.

I don't *feel* good on that high a carb count, even though I eat a Paleo diet like he does, but I kept slim eating a fairly high carb diet in the past when I wasn't Paleo by keeping track of calories religiously so I agree with what he's saying overall. However, I find that for satiety, higher carb like that for me is tough, even with Paleo foods! It just makes me want to eat too much and the calories can pile up fast.

It's sometimes said that super active people do better with higher carbs than sedentary folks. I'm very active, but not as active as him.

Because he is doing this with Paleo foods, which tend to have higher nutritional value than the usual foods that people go for when eating higher carb (like grains), he is likely meeting his nutritional needs very well. He wouldn't give up animal foods and fat knowing what he knows about health (I have his books and thus have a general sense of what he might be eating). But I wish he had gone into detail about what he actually eats to get that high carb count daily. He mentions sweet potato only. Likely he eats vegetables and fruit too, but who knows. He didn't say.

I love all of Anthony Colpo's articles. He clearly knows his stuff

Carbs are our brain and energy food why restrict them too much when you benefit so much from them great post
