Carbs Are Vital To Your Health
Over the years low-carb diets have waxed and waned in popularity and have had different names - Atkins in the early 2000s and now Keto. In short, these diets encourage people to eat high fat and low carbs in order to drop weight quickly.
We don't argue that many people do get quick results with this type of eating, however, we DO ARGUE that the right carbs are good for you and essential to keeping you, your body, and your mind healthy in the long term.
We also want to share more about the science of carbs and why glycemic index matters when looking at which carbs are the right ones for your health. Our bodies convert carbohydrates to energy and when you eat "simple carbs" (white rice, white bread, sugar) that conversion happens very quickly giving your body a sugar rush and a subsequent crash. When you eat "complex carbohydrates" (whole grains, legumes - including soy) it takes your body longer to convert this fuel into energy-giving your body a more stable, slow-release energy source.
TLDR: Complex carbs are good. Soylent's carbs are complex.
