James Laughlin explains why your body stores fat and carbs but almost no protein. Skip protein for days and your body breaks down fast. You could go 50 years without carbs and stay perfectly healthy.
50 years (speaker's claim).
A few days (speaker's claim).
A month or two (speaker's claim).
You have an infinite storage capability for fat, right? You can store ridiculous amounts of fat. You just need to look around these days and you can see that you can store a shitload of carbohydrate in your body, in your liver and your muscles, right? So there's a big sink for that. We have almost no storage facility for protein. So protein is like you have a sink and the tap is turned on, but there's no plug in it. So there's what? There's stuff going in there, but it's running out all the time. Here's the thing for people to understand. If you don't eat any fat for a month or two, you're really going to start to struggle, right? With protein. After a few days without protein, your body starts to really break down big time. You could go for 50 years without any carbohydrate whatsoever and be perfectly healthy. Wow.
