Anyone know the benifits of consuming 450-500grams of strictly complex carbs daily as a 16 year old. Any correlation to bone development? Low iq srry

I’m eating roughly 3,700 calories of clean food. Whole wheat pasta, oats, brown rice, etc…

the reason I ask if this has anything to do with bone development is for the sole reason that happened to come across a vid of some nigga saying some big ass chemical words like, how 99% of IGF-1 gets trapped by this other big ass chemical word called IGFBPs. And because of this, IGF-1 is rendered useless even with proper sleep and nutrition or whatever because IGFBPs is actively suppressing it? Then he also said that as a result of high IGFBPs levels all growth is blocked since it directly blocks IGF-1 production I think? (which leads to a flat mid face, weak bone structure and no collagen gains.)

Then he said that what raised IGFBPs are as followed:
1. Stress (obviously)
2. Cutting out carbs
3. Crash dieting (which I think means just cutting carbs out)
4. Chronic inflammation
5. Liver damage.

He goes on to say that insulin lowers IGFBP-1 and that’s why eating complex carbs helps.

So the conclusion I came up with is that a high complex carb diet will ultimately lower IGFBPs and lower IGFBPs means higher levels of igf-1 being produced so I get more bone mass.

Im pretty dumb with all this chemical stuff and don’t wanna put in so much time to studying all this shi so help a brother out.

I put in my height, weight, age, sex and ethnicity to chat gpt and it told me to eat 450 to 500 grams of complex carbs.
Make fun of me wtv just let me know you’re thoughts and advice and possibly add on to this whole conversation thingy idk.

Ty y’all for reading :feelswhy:
 
just eat enough food, lift weights, and sleep instead of pretending to be a biochemist.

carbs help growth pathways but shit aint magic eat what you want bro

Im nottt I swear. I just wanted to hear what people had to say lmao. And if I had just continued ignoring the fact that whatever this IGFBPs thing is, was actively suppressing IGF-1 levels then I probably would’ve get no where even with all the food and gym and sleep lmao.

U sound smart so I’ll ask.

Why are complex carbs way better than refined carbs. Respondin in an intelligent way because I actually would like to know

complex just has a long chain and slower release you learn this in primary school
