And quite possibly possibly lustful. Wasn't it said that the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were full of bread? Where there's an abundance of food in nature, reproduction becomes the priority.

Yeah, thanks for quoting the lustful video so it could "live on" in your post, after I moderated the OP. :fryingpan:

Good thing I caught both.

Not if you are fat adapted
There are absolutely 0 high-endurance athletes that are eating a keto/carnivore diet.  Sorry, it's not physically possible.

Also, no one is getting to low levels of fat % without a healthy amount of exercise.  My guess is, that Croix is a high-endurance athlete, which is why he's always talking about carbs.  For his situation, his advice is correct.

What he fails to realize is that most people are not exercising at his level.  So high-carbs aren't good for the 'avg joe'.

High carbs, especially high refined sugar amounts, aren’t recommended for anyone despite level of exercise. Higher amounts of “better” carbs may have a place with high endurance athletes as you correctly suggest but refined sugar is good for no one IMO.

Refined sugar is a much better alternative (and much less processed) than high fructose corn syrup, which is in everything and which destroys your pancreas. 

Plant oils, seed oils, fried foods, pesticides in produce, cereals, MSG, diet drinks, sugar alternatives and preservatives, — these things are far, FAR more damaging to the body than refined sugar. 

At least sugar is a natural product, from the cane plant.  It’s been somewhat processed to remove the nutrients but it’s still from nature.  All the things listed above are chemical-based and will slowly kill you.
