i dont really agree. although i think some carbs are good. you dont need any carbs. , "eating protein without sufficient carbs raises adrenaline/cortisol levels"
Carbohydrates, which turn to glucose, hype
the metabolism and trigger the release of disease causing hormones like
insulin, cortisol and adrenaline.
Carbohydrates Trigger Disease
Causing Hormones

as long as your eating plenty of fat with your protein, there will be no problems ( all hunter gather tribes do this ) and eskimos and indians go 9 months out of the year eating zero carbs.
i recommend the book good calories, bad calories for you.

Part 2
For breakfast, I think a nice meal would be a couple of eggs cooked in butter with a slice of toast and an apple.
Lunch, a piece of fish with brown rice (1/2 cup) and berries.
Diner a piece of buffalo meat with quinoa mixed with veggies.
Do carbs cause disease? Maybe those laden with MSG and other poisons. Brown rice? Quinoa? Whole wheat bread? NO.
Balance is everything.

i dont understand where you getting the idea that low carb dieting or calorie restriction taxes the adrenals..

in fact low carb dieting is used to treat adrenal fatigue..

also over 100g is known to cause health problems. it is carbs that are responsible for nearly every disease known.
every hunter gather tribe i have studied had only about 10-25% carbs in there diet, which for most was under 100g although some did get up to 150-200g.

i agree with the others causing adrenals problem but not low carb.

On a lark I looked up glutamate in my A&P textbook because I wanted to reread the information on how the neurotransmitter glutamate is considered to be the main culprit in CVA's (strokes). The first thing I found is an inset article I've not read before. Here is the direct quote: "Current thinking, then is that the rush of pleasure on taking cocaine is due to dopamine. Glutamate on the other hand, is thought to be responsible for the learning that makes true the perception 'once an addict always an addict.' So strong is the combined dopamine and glutamate system that even years later, certain settings can trigger intense craving for the drug." For years I new instinctively that MSG was addictive and toxic and causes weight gain, based on how it made me feel. So how can people state the mechanism for obesity is unclear when this kind of information is right in a basic A&P textbook?

MSG in food makes you crave more of that food, encouraging you to keep on eating and hence pile on the pounds. A good example - it is difficult to stop at just one potato chip.

Why is it unclear?
It is clear as day to me:

MSG is a poison. Your body knows this, and puts the adrenals in overdrive to remove the toxins. If you do this on a daily basis, and your body feels it is constantly under threat, it will gain weight to ironically, save your life.
Also, since your adrenals are the master glands that control blood sugar levels, if you have taxed your adrenals too much, it cannot perform simple duties like that. In essence, MSG taxes your adrenals, your adrenals cannot do their job, and you become overweight.
It's not just MSG; it's
sugar
Splenda
Aspartame
Birth Control
Low Carb dieting (below 100g carbs)
Low calorie dieting
Alcohol
Working at Fortune 500 companies
and of course my favorite: the infamous cancer-causing SCAM: Bio-Identical HRT!
