Carbs or no carbs?

Should you or should you not eat carbs?

If you spend time on social media, I’m sure you’ve seen people debate this.

On one side, people say that carbs are completely unnecessary because they cause inflammation and the body is better off using fat as fuel.

Then you have others saying carbs are essential for a functioning metabolism and brain, and going keto is causing stress to the body.

With something as integral to our diet as carbohydrates, wouldn’t you want to truly understand if they’re good for you or not?

Today, let’s end this debate once and for all.

But I’m not going to dive into studies, or discuss ancestral eating patterns—I’m sure you’ve heard enough of that. Plus, there’s plenty of research supporting both sides and ancient cultures that ate low, high, and no carb.

What I’d like to discuss is your genetics.

When it comes to any health intervention, you must look at what your body needs (which is what online nutrition advice often excludes)…

And we can determine this by looking at the AMY1 gene.

This gene determines how well your body metabolizes carbs, and is frankly the only thing that matters in this debate.

You can have three different variations:

• AA - Poor carbohydrate metabolism.

• AT - Moderate carbohydrate metabolism.

• TT - Optimal carbohydrate metabolism.

Which variation you have is influenced by what your ancestors ate, and surprisingly, varies widely throughout different populations:

As you can see, multiple nearby regions in Africa have different AMY1 variations.

If you’d like to know:

• Telltale signs of suboptimal AMY1 function

• How to know (for sure) which variation you have

• What to do to support your body’s carbohydrate metabolism, if your body cannot process them well

• How to be able to enjoy carbohydrates without gaining weight, even with poor carbohydrate metabolism

I’m going to be discussing this and much more during my live masterclass.

The main topic of conversation is how most health advice online is misleading people, and how by using your DNA you’ll be able to know what actually works for you.
