I don’t know where you get your information but first;  All vegetables, fruits, grains and lentils are 100% carbohydrates, – without exceptions.  Those are the facts.  Carbs food cannot provide you with protein, under any circumstances.  So let me explain the difference between Proteins food and carbs food.  Proteins food  builds and mends your bones, skin, muscles, tissue and organs.  This cannot be achieved with carbs food.  That’s why proteins food is so essential to our health particularly for growing children.

Carbs food, no matter whether it is a lettuce leaf, an apple or a slice of bread, will be turned into glucose by your own body as soon as it gets into your system.  What is glucose? It is liquid sugar.  It is the stuff that fuels your body.  Your body, just like your car, needs fuel to run.  If you do not run it, no fuel can be spent.   Your body cannot store glucose, it is forced to turn it into what we call Body Fat.  Body fat is the same fat you’ll find stored on your body if you are overweight.  It is the fat that makes you fat.  That means excess carbs = fat on your body.

Throughout history, we have spent long and short periods without any carbs food.  We have always survived healthy because our body has simply switched to burning proteins food, instead of carbs food.   We can survive and thrive without carbs food.  But there is no substitute for proteins food,  that’s why we cannot live without it.

When you want to improve your body, you will always get the best and fastest result when you collaborate with your own body.  That will happen when you eat the kind of high protein foods your body understands.  That means an emphasis on meat, poultry, fish, seafood and eggs.  To that you add some nuts, avocado and greens.   Drink plenty of water and get 8 hours sleep a night.

Macadamia nuts lead the field.  But you will do well to realize that human beings were created to eat a diet of high protein foods.  All vegetables, fruits and grains are carbohydrates.  It is not very safe to be a vegetarian.  Our traditional diet was built on high protein foods  and we all followed it till forty years ago.  That’s when we suddenly reserved our diet.  Our body does not simply adapt to new foods, or anything else.  it evolves.  Evolution takes a lot longer than forty years.  When you play around with carbohydrates and ignore proteins food, as you must do to follow a vegetarian diet, you are acting against the interests of your own body.  You are eating foods your body doesn’t understand.   You are saying: I know better than nature!   You do that at your peril.
