1. carbs
Glucose, which is most readily obtained from carbs, is the body’s preferred and the brain’s only energy source. It should therefore predominate our diet, which is what most national and international health organizations also suggest.
When we eat fewer carbs than we need, we get crazy cravings for calorically dense food, we get tired or hangry… and if you deprive yourself of this nutrient for a few days, your body will go into ketosis, which is an ill state to be in.
It’s also associated with loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, and hypotension (lower blood pressure). This metabolic state of a starving person is simulated when eating a low carb, high fat diet and tells the body it has some kind of serious illness.
And since no health organization would recommend eating over 30% of your calories from protein or fat, this shouldn’t even be an option
