They’re the building blocks for strength, repair, energy, and healthy aging.
That’s why I always say: eat protein first.
When the body doesn’t get the amino acids it needs, it keeps driving hunger, even when calories are already high.
On days when hitting protein feels harder, I try to supplement my amino acids to make it simpler to support muscle, recovery, and vitality without overthinking food.
Support the body the way it’s designed to work.

But carbs ARE essential- we can’t live without them. This is why our bodies have a back up mechanism for making glucose, gluconeogenesis.
I’ve learned the process of gluconeogenesis is a stress on our bodies (involving stress hormones for the process).
We have this back up ability to create glucose when we are not taking in the carbs our bodies need. I’m thinking we ought to then not restrict carbs, but eat them according to our individual needs.
