you know I want to talk about what would

actually happen to your body if you were

to only eat carbohydrates for about two

weeks and of course when you eat food it

never comes in one thing it always comes

with a little bit of protein a little

bit of fat things like that there’s

nothing in nature that comes just as a

pure carbohydrate what’s interesting is

that an average person at least in the

United States consumes roughly 65

percent of their calories in this form

refined carbohydrates now as far as

looking at any research on this it’s

very difficult to find research simply

because there isn’t any who’s going to

volunteer to only eat refined

carbohydrates for any period of time

however there’s some other data that we

can take a look at there are certain

prisoners of War

from the second world war that were only

fed white rice for example and there’s

data from Japan in the late 1800s where

a good portion of the population was

consuming a tremendous amount of refined

white rice they did not eat the whole

brown rice right they polished it with

certain machines and so they took out

the outer portion and that led to a lot

of problems now what’s interesting about

white rice is that you have a very

concentrated carbohydrate food there’s

not a lot of protein there’s not a lot

of fat there’s a lot of starch okay and

that starch is going to turn into sugar

really quick first when they notice a

big problem when they went to this

polished rice a lot of people were

getting sick especially in the military

especially in the Navy and they noticed

that they had several problems with

people okay they had

problems with the edema and swelling

they had problems with lack of appetite

they had problems neurologically they

started having numbness and tingling and

pain in their feet and their hand to the

point where they went paralyzed and then

eventually the heart gave out and they

ended up with a cardiac arrest a heart

attack and that was called berry berry

okay which is a severe B1 deficiency

that originated from this polished rice

now you can also get berry berry

otherwise from drinking a lot of alcohol

they tried to solve this problem for

quite a few years until one doctor was

able to help solve this in the early

1900s where they fed these Sailors

barley and some meat and now first they

thought it was a deficiency of protein

but it wasn’t until later after they

discovered vitamins that they found it

was a B1 deficiency but to describe this

condition called berry berry you have

wet berry berry and you have dry berry

berry wet berry berry involves the

cardiovascular system them your heart

you’re going to experience a lot of

Edema and swelling in your legs you’re

going to experience an increase in pulse

rate okay you’re going to experience

cardiomegaly where your heart enlarges

which is very very dangerous dry berry

berry involves the nervous system and it

shows up in the feet in the hands

numbness extra pain and then paralysis

and because of lack of B1 affects the

nervous system out of all the different

systems and the vagus nerve is one of

the biggest nerves you’re going to have

a lot of digestive problems you’ll have

constipation you’ll have a loss of

appetite I mean even that vagus nerve

without the B1 can’t make hydrochloric

acid and so if you were to just put

someone on a white rice diet they

probably would not last

one to two months before they had a

heart attack now this is all dependent

on the person’s genetics how much

nutrition they have built up and of

course what else they ate the point is

that when you eat only carbohydrates

there’s a lot of health problems that

are going to occur let’s talk also about

the lack of protein right in refined

carbohydrates when someone consumes

refined grains or sugars without the

protein Source because typically plants

do not have the same quality protein as

animal protein and so there’s always

going to be a problem with protein in

general amino acids in its

bioavailability and its ability to turn

into body tissues and we need a

sufficient amount of protein for our

bones our muscles our nerves but more

importantly our immune system is

dependent on protein and then our DNA is

dependent on protein all the enzymes in

the biochemical Pathways need protein

without that quality protein wow you’re

going to have ulcer sorts of issues so

let me just run down a list of protein

deficiency problems okay number one

apathy depression your mood is going to

tank you’re going to feel lethargic

you’re going to be tired chronically

your memory is going to go you’re going

to have a hard time sleeping you’ll have

diarrhea flaky skin you’ll have a lot of

Edema you’ll have muscle loss and like I

said before your immune system is going

to suffer you’re not going to be able to

fight off infection you’ll have problems

with repair of DNA which leads to cancer

and all sorts of other issues other than

that you might be okay oh except for

some hair loss you will lose your hair

now let’s also talk about a lack of fat

okay so if you’re doing all these

carbohydrates without high quality fat

and I’m talking about saturated fat

cholesterol fats that include the

omega-3 fatty acids like DHA which your

brain desperately needs and by the way

your brain is about 60 percent fat okay

so if we start to cut down the fats in

the diet and let’s say we do carbs and

protein but we go lean protein and we

don’t add enough fat boy you’re going to

have other problems because we need

these fats for our hormones we need fat

to make bile salts to help you digest

fats we need fats to extract our fat

soluble vitamins vitamin A D E K1 K2 so

some of the fatty acid deficiency

symptoms would be dry hair okay and dry

skin your ligaments will be very very

weak your collagen in your joints will

be insufficient so you have a lot of

arthritis you’ll even notice that your

vascular system okay which is made out

of protein will suffer so you’ll have

spider veins red eyes you’ll be

susceptible to getting an aneurysm and

even a stroke because we need the

strength of that vascular system and we

need fats to build up hormones that keep

our mood up for example if you don’t

have enough fats you’ll probably be

depressed and your immune system will

greatly suffer and then the other thing

about consuming a pure carbohydrate diet

is you’re going to just jack up insulin

all day long and that is going to lead

to insulin resistance really quick and

now we have a problem with absorbing

fuel absorbing nutrients all the

nutrients that you need to get healthy

and we get metabolic syndrome symptoms

and you get diabetes type 3 which is

dementia now I want to Circle back into

this B1 deficiency because one way to

create a vitamin deficiency especially a

B1 deficiency is to consume a lot of

sugar and refine carbohydrates it

doesn’t necessarily have to be refined

rice because you need Vitamin B1 to

metabolize

sugar and carbohydrates so what’s going

to happen they’re going to start getting

subclinical B1 deficiency symptoms and

by the way just because we’re on the

topic of B1 B1 is very protective

against a lot of the damage from a high

carbohydrate diet one great remedy that

I always recommend for people if they’re

a diabetic and they have high sugar is

benphotamine which is a type of B1 that

can protect the person against all this

collateral damage that’s occurring

because they have high sugar now of

course it’s not going to fix the blood

sugars but it will

minimize the symptoms of being a

diabetic now since we’re on the topic of

carbohydrate okay if you are on a

carbohydrate diet which is basically a

vegan diet or a vegetarian diet and you

have lesser amounts of protein it’s

possible to do that healthily but you

really need to know what you’re doing

our bodies were developed from consuming

fatty meat our genetics are totally

based on hunting animals and of course

there was times where we ate plants as

well because we pretty much ate anything

that was available but our bodies were

designed to metabolize animal products

and you can look at it from another way

as well okay when you start cutting away

animal products right and you’re doing

more carbohydrates or plant-based it’s

much more difficult to get the key

nutrients like B12 B12 is mainly made

from animal products you also have zinc

high quality zinc comes from red meat in

animal products then you have omega-3

fatty acids right it comes from fish oil

and I’m not saying that you necessarily

have to eat those now I’m just saying

that if you are sick if you have

weaknesses within your genetics okay if

you have problems within your digestive

system

it’s going to be very very difficult to

get healthy going on a plant-based diet

in fact if you take someone with GI

problems people with genetics that don’t

allow them to digest gluten for example

oh my goodness they go plant-based

they’re going to tear up their stomach I

mean even polymorphism for vitamin A

because now you can’t convert

beta-carotene which is in all the plants

to the active form of vitamin A which is

retinol which is in egg yolks it’s in

liver and other animal products

and then you might think well I’ll just

go ahead and take a supplement well if

you take a synthetic supplement you’re

not going to have the same effects but

it’s possible to do and I’m not saying

don’t do it I’m just saying it’s much

easier with animal products the more gut

problems you have the more carnivore you

need to be as well okay now I’m not just

talking about eating lean steak I’m

talking about the healthy version of the

carnivore diet organ Meats

seafood fish eggs a good amount of fat

with that protein and there’s also a

huge wide range of nutritional factors

in animal products as you go from grain

fed to grass-fed to grass-fed grass

finished but overall the point is that

if you’re going to try a carbohydrate

diet you’re going to not do well

health-wise you cannot survive on a pure

carbohydrate diet for too long now for

the correct information on what diet to

be on to promote health I put that video
