Carbohydrates Are Not a Macro Nutrient

Carbohydrates are not a macronutrient. The Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines a macronutrient as something that is essential for survival. Like you need proteins, especially the essential amino acids, and then you need fat to survive. It’s what lubricates your hair and your nails to grow and your skin to function normally.

There is no reason for carbohydrates. Now, this is also the position of the US Food and Nutrition Board. They have published in their 2005 textbook that the needed amount of carbohydrates is zero.

There are other studies that recommend zero carbohydrates or that show that there’s really no need for carbohydrates to be in the human diet at all. Part of the reason why I frequently recommend against carbohydrates is because they seem to exist in nature to help animals, we’re animals, too, get as fat as possible when they are ripe, which is right before the colder months of the year when that’s actually beneficial. You can live off your body fat if you don’t eat, and it also keeps you more insulated in cold weather.

Anybody that tells you you need carbohydrates, I would argue that for a distance runner, when you go distances, like, Zach Bitters, the guy who just broke the hundred-mile run record. Just, it was like two years ago. But nobody’s gonna break it again anytime soon. He is a carnivore, a hundred percent of the time, until he is running, and he needs that process energy. Keeping going while you’re exerting yourself in an anaerobic position, or, and this is important for an X3 user, using it to amplify cellular hydration after a workout, while you’re stretching, which is the hyperplasia protocol. But other than that, you don’t need to worry about carbohydrates because you don’t need them.
