High protein gets converted to glucose by an on demand basis. You don't need glucose/carbs if protein is high enough.

So you're saying basically every bodybuilder and professional athlete. The people who spend millions a year to hire doctors and trainers, are wrong?

No. There are advantages to carbs as there are advantages to high protein, but there's metabolic tradeoffs.

That is debatable. I would say if you don't have intolerances and are a hyper-responder like
@DominicDAgosti2's wife then yes you can consuming carbs doesn't matter. Would say for average population it leads to hyperinsulimenia and metabolic disorder.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
If you limit carbs to 150-200 g/day or control feeding/fasting windows,, you're not gonna get hyperinsulinemia or metabolic disorder.

If the system is not broken then I concur it won't lead to metabolic disorder in a relatively healthy individual. However it will have insuligenic effects and effect satiety hormones. See

It depends on how they're eaten and what they're eaten w/. 100 g carbs/day eaten w/lotsa fat+fiber won't spike blood sugar or create a big insulin response. 500 g carbs/day w/o much fat and little fiber will create serious problems.

I'm currently on 260g protein. 350 carbs. 120 fats. I'm gaining ~1lb a week. All my lifts are going up. Musculature is full. Pumps are juicy af. Energy levels are fine. I'm just not convinced what I'm doing is wrong. Then again, that's why I made this thread.

That's a lot of protein. I eat about half of that.

I just didn't want to raise carbs anymore. I prefer being around 200-220 protein.
