Although it’s true that you cannot substitute protein for carbs and fats or vice versa, they are the 3 groups of macros aka the calories/energy you survive on. If you are slightly lacking in one of them, your body will still utilize the other 2 to run itself . The human body is very adaptive in that way. However , if you do not intake enough of the 3 combined macro groups to make up for your daily calorie requirements you will lose weight and eventually have your organs shut down . That is more likely to happen if you don’t have enough body fat and muscles and you engage in a lot of mid-high intensity physical activity daily . This is very uncommon in the 21st century because of easy access to high calorie foods. Most people nowadays struggle with balancing macros but not necessarily getting enough calories (unless they have health problems or eating disorders that are making it hard to consume enough calories) .

Refined carbohydrates are considered worthless/unhealthy in current times of food abundance and processed food consumption where most of our diet is comprised of refined carbohydrates and fats. Most of us also don’t rely on continuous physical labor . But in the times of food shortage, refined carbohydrates were highly appreciated. The book is based in a time when most people rely on wild vegetables or the early varieties of farmed vegetables that were over abundant in fiber but were comparatively low in carbs. Their diet also did not contain much fat or protein, so it had to contain more carbs to make up for it. And they did continuous physical labor like manual farming, hunting, wood work , firewood harvesting, etc. which requires a lot of carbs to survive. This is why staple foods have always been grains , potatoes , or other carbs.
