Microblog: Carbs and Fat = Randle Cycle Risk
Watch the clip here.
Watch the full interview here.
Part of the issue with the Standard American Diet is that it mixes two energy sources: fatty acids and glucose.
It’s not just the food quality.
🧐We have to essentially pick a side.
🍯This may be why paleo doesn’t work so perfectly– if you switch your seed oils for animal fats and switch your processed carbs for dried fruits and honey, at first you will be far better off.
💔But eventually, many will plateau in weight and health improvements as you have to pick an energy source side.
⚠️We are not meant to constantly get energy from carbs and from an abundance of high fat. Never in nature did we see plenty of both.
⚠️By choosing to eat both energy sources daily, (even quality carbs and fats), you activate the Randle cycle.
⚠️And when the Randle cycle is constantly “on,” your cells will self-preserve by blocking the efficient use of fatty acids and the use of glucose.
Hello insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and obesity.
🚨This isn’t popular opinion but eating hamburger and a soda isn’t that different from eating ground beef with honey and orange juice.
🔥Sure, the nutrient density is starkly different but both carry the risk of metabolic syndrome.
🌱Vegans choose the glucose pathway and do relatively well… until they become nutrient-depleted and start to be unwell.
🍃Some vegans properly supplement and can do well for longer but if you have to supplement your diet because of missing nutrients, it’s likely not an ideal diet for humans.
🐄Animal-kingdom-only (meat-only) carnivores do well because they choose the side of fatty acids.
⚠️But once you mix in carbs (and no one knows the exact threshold of carbs that is safe for you), you put yourself at risk for metabolic syndrome.
⚠️With the mixing of both energy sources, metabolic syndrome is not a matter of IF. It’s a matter of WHEN.
🥩A meat-only carnivore diet is powerful. But when you add in carbs, it loses a lot of it’s potential for healing.

June 5, 2022 at 3:51 amI think activating the Randall’s cycle is overblown. Because the Inuit would in theory had activated the random cycle every time they ate because their meat contained a good amount of carbohydrates and a lot of fat but they were very healthy.

July 26, 2022 at 10:39 pmHmm. Meat doesn’t have a good amount of carbohydrates. We have two primary energy sources: fatty acids and glucose. Randle cycle or not, if we have an abundance of energy coming in, we will eventually get hyperinsulinemia (insulin resistance), store excess fat, and become ill. It’s exactly how the western diet is made: lots of fat + sugar and little protein.

March 5, 2023 at 9:11 amIf one were to eat mostly animal foods with a few tolerated low carb plants. What would be the safest way to add white rice carbs (50 grams) and not fully engage the randale cycle? I am keeping protein at 1g per lb of bodyweight and would just cut fat a bit to keep calories at close to baseline needs. I was thinking high fat/protein breakfast and high protein/low fat/ medium carb dinner. Would probably only do this 2-3 times a week

June 6, 2023 at 1:00 pmCalories are meaningless.
Why do you want to eat white rice it offers nothing nutritional wise.
If you are active you need to up protein a normal person should be having around 1.6 so an active person range is anything above 2.2
Mixing the diet makes no sense and will not get you good results you either go the fat/protein route or carb/protein fat/protein/carbs is modern day diet this is not good.
I would like to point out about some of the info on this page
1. metabolic syndrome is made it (no such thing)
2. The hamburger comparison is incorrect and makes no sense.
3. keto mixes and its not an issue (but you need to be selective and each persons different)
4. anything under 20g carb will not have negative effect (this doesnt mean you can go eat 20g of bread or some processed food)

June 18, 2023 at 7:35 amIt really makes no sense from an evolutionary standpoint as to why we8d want to ingest carbs that are almost void of nutrients. This causes a lot of issues with the citric acid cycle and starts spitting out all kinds of ROS and causes oxidative stress. You can see it on the face of people following this way of eating. Paul Saladino has aged 10 years in 2 since going to a fruit heavy diet. No doubt we would’ve taken advantage of ripe fruit and honey in the wild but this would’ve been rare and short lived. Try downing sugar consistently for any length of time and you can clearly see the results. It’s all around you if you live in western civilization. Obesity and disease.
