Hi,
what do you think of this one:

A certain amount of thiamin (and maybe more accompanieing stuff)
is necessary if the body attempts to burn carbohydrates.
Because glucose is mandatory for brain and blood cells
this will be at least these 180 g.
This amounts are present in natural (unrefined) food items,
but are missing in anything containing sugar.

If sugar starts to rise in the blood, then
insulin tells the body cells that it can be burnt by
various tissues or re-built to adipose (body fat).
If thiamin is not present, then transformation to fat is the only
pathway left for the body.
Lateron this fat can be burnt directly by most tissues
(except brain, nerves , blood cells).

On the other hand brain and nervous tissues will still be hungry
after glucose, because unable to use it.

The cybernetic regulations of the body may still regulate a hunger
for carbohydrate, although they are present, but not usable
(in the needed extent).

What a nice path to additional adipose, isn't it.
And a path to consuming more and more carbs.

Paleonutrition helps out this vicious circle, because forbidding
most carb sources (except fruit, most of which contain
accompanieing thiamin).

Taking meat as the carb source will supply enough of thiamin
although rather low in it (except pig) because the needed
amounts are rather high (2 lbs).

All other natural carb stuff (except very sweet cultivated fruits)
may have the same effect.

regards, Amadeus
