What about situations like food sensitivities? For instance, it is true that I had a slice of cheesecake towards the end of the day yesterday. I felt perfectly fine before, but my digestive system did get unsettled afterwards. I suspect it's related to the amount of lactose and/or fat I'd already eaten earlier in the day, as those are two things that I do have some sensitivities with (especially lactose). Had I eaten some grapes (for example) instead of the cheesecake, I'm pretty certain I would have felt fine later.Donuts are not "bad carbs" for your physical body. They are only "bad" if your entire diet consisted of donuts. Which it doesnt, because context.
There are no good or bad carbs.
Food sensitivities do not make carbs bad. I do not eat gluten, 5 years now, due to my own sensitivities. Yet I eat GF alternatives all the time. Which are full of carbs. Full of "bad" carbs.
And fat is not a carb. If you are lactose-intolerant or have an issue with eating foods that are too fatty then you would have had the same issues if you'd eaten a high-fat lactose-containing "good carb" meal.
So you consider lactose to be a "bad carb"? Do you also avoid all dairy then because it is a "bad carb"? If you are lactose-intolerant that just means you are lactose-intolerant. If I'm allergic to peanuts it doesn't mean that peanuts are a "bad" fat whereas olive oil is a "good fat" because I"m not allergic to it.
I have minor lactose issues. I tolerate hard cheeses and yogurt just fine. You know why? They often have zero to very little lactose.
Cheesecake however? That's got lactose.

Cheese and yogurt are lower in lactose. The amount is the issue. The lactose in the cheesecake itself wasn't the issue, but the amount that was in it.ForecasterJason wrote: »

Then why would cheesecake suddenly become a "bad carb" when you are saying that you reacted to the lactose. Which would be in cheese and yogurt (ETA, or apparently not. So that would be why you aren't reacting.)
Go get a goddamn allergy test done. Or do an elimination diet (this is what I did - while I have IBS symptoms I only react with those IBS symptoms when I eat glutenous foods, so it was easier for me to just cut that out of my diet than to bother with testing; I do not noticeably react to any other food on IBS lists even when eaten in excess).
And just stop.

Meaning that you are reacting to the lactose if the foods with little to no lactose are not an issue. Which means that by your incorrect perception, lactose is now a "bad carb."
Cheesecake is not a bad carb. It's not even a carb itself. IT's a food containing carbs and fats and containing an ingredient that you are potentially intolerant to. Go ahead and put some lactose on some organic brown rice. If you feel as crappy as you did from the cheesecake, does brown rice now become a "bad carb" as well? Or is it only a bad carb when you put lactose on it?

Avoid those, OP.
Wtf? Who puts mayo in a cake?
My grandmother had a recipe for a mayonnaise cake -- a dark chocolate cake with mayonnaise instead of fat or oil. I wish I still had the recipe. It was awesome. If that was a bad carb, then send me to whereever that dear lady went when she passed away.
I meant to respond to that and flaked. Was definitely not thinking of your grandmother's cake, or indeed cakes turned out by anyone with a modicum of skill or common sense. What I ate was horrifying and you could taste the mayonnaise.
Also, shellfish is a bad protein.

Why do these threads always turn into one of these?
Since we can't play well with others I am closing this thread:
1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation
a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.
b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.
2. No Hi-Jacking, Trolling, or Flame-baiting
Please stay on-topic in an existing thread, and post new threads in the appropriate forum. Taking a thread off-topic is considered hi-jacking. Please either contribute politely and constructively to a topic, or move on without posting. This includes posts that encourage the drama in a topic to escalate, or posts intended to incite an uproar from the community.
