By

Summary
The article discusses Dave Asprey, founder of the biohacking movement, and his approach to eating carbohydrates without gaining weight. Asprey argues that carbs are unfairly demonized and that the key is not eliminating them but consuming them strategically. He recommends eating carbs earlier in the day, pairing them with protein and fat to slow glucose absorption, choosing high-quality sources like sweet potatoes and white rice over processed options, and using techniques like vinegar before meals and post-meal movement to improve metabolic response. The article presents his biohacking principles as a way to maintain low body fat (6.5-7%) while still enjoying carbohydrates.
