What's wrong with that banana?> OK, I hope this board is open- minded. Well, this isn’t a “board”. It’s Dr. Davis’ Wheat Belly Blog. I don’t speak for the blog, or Dr. D., but I’m generally open minded. Since WB was published, I’ve learned a lot more about nutrition than I’d planned. I am not advocating a high carb or low carb diet.

WB advocates a very low carb macronutrient profile with specific cautions about fructose. Anyone proposing higher carb intake may expect to raise eyebrows here. A typical medium- to- large Cavendish banana is about 2. The net carbs alone is 1. WB guidelines for carb consumption as a single meal or 6- hour period.

That banana is not a meal, and is likely to NOT be all you consume in that 6 hour period, as it has zero fat and deminimus protein. It’s way far from an ideal LCHF profile. It’s quite likely to be appetite- stimulating.> I am advocating for real foods.

People need a bit of alarm about this. Fruits vary wildly in their carb and fructose content, and people need to be cautious about fruit consumption until they know what each fruit’s profile is.

Have you measured actual blood sugar response subsequent to consuming a whole banana? I’d expect a ripe to spike, and a green to elevate.

The goal is no- change. Modern humans are adapted to pack on the pounds when fructose is available, which historically was seasonal fruit. This is the “Fat Switch” hypothesis (Johnson).

We would then burn that fat off in ketosis in unwanted deep winter fasting. This allowed a small population to survive prehistoric environmental catastrophies, perhaps more than once. Dr. Permutter speculates in his recent “Grain Brain” book that neanderthals vanished because they lacked this glycemic- ketotic adaptation.

Today, metabolic summer never ends, and metabolic winter never comes. Metabolic syndrome comes instead.
