Dax. how, pray tell, are we "built differently" than people who lived a mere ten thousand years ago? In evolutionary terms that is yesterday. How are we built differently than aborigies who lived the hunter/gatherer lifestyles until a mere 100 years ago?

We are raised differently; but that is to our own detriments. The biggest difference is that they got more exercise. They did a lot of it, and had stamina we never will, with very low carbohydrate consumption. To posit that we somehow require all those carbs is is physiologiclly illogical.

Remember, most of humanity did not have access to potatoes or even rice until quite recently. And grains in general have only been with us as major sources of nutrition for less than ten thousand years.

I think protein/fat loading is far superior to carb loading in generating sustained energy.
