I'm guessing you did not watch the program. As it points out, the only athletes who benefit from carbs are sprinters. Long distance runners/cyclists/etc operate better on a high fat diet which helps the body to use the fat stores which are far more plentiful than a carb shot.

So, you are wrong there.
As far as "turning the body anabolic", that's one of those half truths politicians use. The "bro science" that you need carbs to trigger an insulin response is like saying you need a sledge hammer to knock in a thumb tack. Yes, you could, or you could just push it in with your thumb. Take in any food/liquid beyond plain water and you get an insulin response. Protein, fat, lettuce. It all has an insulin response. Sometimes the response lasts longer, sometimes it's greater in volume than other items, but it still gets a response.
WPI will spike your insulin nicely without the risk of long term pancreatic damage. So does steak and bacon. You don't need a cup of sugar to get a response.
Life in general just sucks for me without carbs.
1.Pre workouts are filled with amino acids not carbs.I actually set it to record a week ago and watched it last Thursday on ABC.
You just confirmed my point; athletes benefit from carbs. I would certainly class weight lifters or gym rats in the athlete category opposed to a long distant runner category. Lifting heavy weights require relatively short bursts of intense force. Yes, fats and protein will provide energy to do this, but it isn't optimal. It's one of the reasons pre and intra workouts are loaded up with carbs and some sugars.
Try it yourself. Have 3 low carb days in a low to deplete glycogen and do an intense workout. You'll have no where near the energy compared to consuming carbs and sugars before the same workout.
Insulin is a growth hormone. You can eat lettuce if you want post workout which will barely trigger an insulin response. Or you could eat carbs pre and post workout to trigger a greater insulin response, which is exactly what you want after breaking down your body in the gym so your body gets the signal to grow.
These two amino acids are key ingredients to any preworkoutI shouldn't have used the word 'loaded'.
Some examples:
BSN NO-Xplode 2.0
Serve 22.5g.
Carbs 10g.
MusclePharm Assault
Serve 23g.
Carbs 9g.
To be fair, some pre workouts contain 0 calories and carbs. But the whole point of a pre workout is to boost energy and alertness. The amino acids are for recovery and are usually consumed intra or post workout.
Eat a balanced most of the time, have some carbs - focus more on proteins and fats though - but always eat towards your goals - just like you train towards your goals.
When it comes to dieting I personally think keto for alot of people is fantastic and it brings us back to how we should really be eating.
You contradict yourself from one paragraph to the next.
Why is keto how we should be eating.
