What about South Asian ethnicities that are a mixture of a combination of West Eurasian autosomal DNA subgroups (primarily West Asian/Near Eastern, with a sliver of NE European which takes a Northwest-Southeast gradation) and Ancestral South Indian (ASI)/"Australoid" in an autosomal context? South Asian diets are centered around carbs and houses a population of ~70 million diabetics. What is optimal for us ancient West Eurasian/"Caucasoid"-ASI mutts?

There are no carbs in candles.

See timestamp 19m50s for the nutrition discussion.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Sweden was one of the first governments to officially endorse low carb high fat diets.

Good thing I come from a German/Norwegian descent. That settles it, it's bacon wrapped bacon for dinner; greens just ruin the meal anyway :D

I haven't watched this video yet but happened to be reading an article by him where he says this:

Usually, people who are gifted for hypertrophy are gifted for carb intake as well. They can eat a boatload of carbs and feel fine. Also, if you're white, fuck it. You've got to come from a region where there was a lot of agriculture for a long time to be able to handle carbs. If you're from German or Norwegian extraction and come from a line of meat eaters and hunters, then neo-carbs are not for you.

I can keep a body fat of 5-6% year around if I eat only paleo-carbs. Other guys, like Berardi, can suck up two kilos of pasta for breakfast and it won't bother them. You'll find though, that nutritionists tend to recommend what works for them, not what works for everybody. That's why I prefer to individualize diets.

Keith Klein and others used to recommend rice cakes as a carb source. If I ate rice cakes I'd fall asleep at the wheel! It doesn't work for me. I even hear people recommending Pop Tarts too, a classic example of neo-carbs.

Basically, our genes have only evolved .02% over the last 40,000 years. So we're mostly made for paleo-carbs. But 25% of the world population has actually adapted to agricultural-type carbohydrates. But I'd still recommend that those people stick to paleo-carbs over Pop Tarts, Cocoa Puffs, and all that shit.

Has anyone tried the glutamine-in-heavy-cream trick for carb cravings?

If anything, it seems all people of color suffer the most from carbs in their diets

gary taubes said the same thing as well. if you're not southeast asian you wont be able to take carbs well or something along that line. i think it was one of the interviews by carb loaded. i disagree though. im from singapore and we're pretty much a melting pot of people from east asia and southeast asia and YET we're the no. 2 nation with the highest incidence of diabetes among developed countries. goes to show that being asian doesnt make you immuned to the effects of carbs.
