2 of 5 Mark Sisson on active low carb paleo properly, and bistro grass fed animals Tube. Duration : 9.37 Mins.
www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com www.imminst.org I wonder how many polyunsaturates were comsumed by individuals in the Kitava Study by Staffan lindeberg. Their diet was high in carbohydrates (up to 70%), and low in fats (~20%). There is more and more evidence these days that paleo humans ate starchy tubers (as evidence on teeth) (for around 1-2 million years) (A tuber rich diet would have also been rich in vitamin a precursors!). Kitava individuals show sickinly low insulin levels for their amount of carbohydrates. Their coconut and starch rich diet would have been low in omega 6s, with the exception being any kind of nut they might have ate. And of course they ate fish once in a while, but because the waters are warm there, the omega 3 content would have been low. So I would estimate that they might of have anywhere from a 1:4 to 1:9 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 in their diet based on variability of the veggies,tubers, nuts, and coconut. And btw, the kitavas' are the best group for paleo people to look at who say carbs are just the enemy and age you faster. I would wager that someone on a 30% protein, 60% fat, 10% carb diet would almost certainly have higher insulin levels than a Kitava on a isocaloric diet because of the insulin producing effects of having higher protein levels and higher growth hormone levels. Higher fat diets seem to clog my brain and make me sluggish, not to mention that I feel the insulin producing effects of high fat/high protein diets vs low glycemic ...
