Body fueled by fat, not carbs - Dr. Greg Ellis

Phd nutritional biochemist, bodybuilder and author, Dr. Greg Ellis - through 40 years of self-experimentation, and informed by his professional and private scientific research, Ellis says that our bodies can run amazingly well on a fat and protein based diet, and with very little carbohydrates (in his case less than 50 grams per day). he also argues that reduced glycation is a major side-benefit of low carb eating (see: Glycation - causes disease and aging and his recent book on the topic called "The Glycation Factor").

linked here at the Jimmy Moore podcast website is a detailed interview with Ellis - 461: Dr. Greg Ellis Tells Clients To Say ‘Bye Bye, Carbs! and here

the two videos below give very little of the science backing Ellis's contentions, but they made me curious enough to to hear more from him. the first is largely on his background and methodology:



the second is about lean mass production
