Why Carbs Make Us Fat... ;)

As BP said, they're in everything! Fruit and veg have carbs ffs, so people who say they're shredding and doing no carbs will be sadly disappointed with their very berry banana smoothie :P
However as carbs can come from anywhere I think it would be advisable to see where the carbs are coming from and what they do to the body. For example the cbs in a sweet potato and a jam donut both breakdown into our cals but the refined and processed stuff in the latter will probs do more harm than good.
I'm just saying we don't have to think we're not allowed carbs.....just better ones.
But donuts doe mmmmm

Realistically, human beings as a species are not carnivorous, and we're not predators. Think of a predator (carnivore)... Cat, wolf, praying mantis, falcon... What do they all have in common? Weaponry, built right in. They are born to kill. Teeth, claws, speed, stealth... We're born to be herbivores, and adventitious or adaptive carnivores when the opportunity or need arises. Therefore -- we're meant to eat carbohydrates predominantly -- fruits, vegetables, etc..
We were never meant to eat this much meat, and western civilization is paying for it dearly -- more than 40% of western culture dies from heart disease (the #1 killer, above all cancers and every other cause of death) directly related to animal food consumption (animal protein and fat), whereas more than 75% of the global population doesn't even have heart disease (or cancer), and they rely on plants as a primary food source (mostly carbohydrate, but still with fat and protein). Food is medicine, and we are what we eat.
Not all carbohydrates are created equal.
Processed, refined carbohydrates with a high glycemic index are definitely detrimental to health and fat-loss. Whole-grains and raw fruits and vegetables (cooked too) are definitely not bad and are extremely, EXTREMELY beneficial to our health.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. So....there's that.
Also, if we are not natural predators can you explain to me why vegans have to resort to lab grown supplements to maintain the nutrients their diet lacks from not eating meat or meat products.0 -

Maybe you are, or maybe your food is fortified with the supplements i'm talking about. hmmm, wow. magic.

"Many vegetarians lack vitamin B-12 simply because it does not exist naturally in any non-animal forms. Vegetarians should seek out vitamin B-12 fortified foods, such as certain soy milks and cereals to supplement what they lack."0 -
Better to thank them... That is why you exist

Okay, so you're telling me I have heart disease and will die from it because I ate meat?
Also, humans have built-in weaponry. Have you never been in a physical fight before?0 -

Wrong. Eating more calories than you burn makes a person fat.
Also, if you consider an article from Brad Pilon to be credible, that's just comical. Provide a scientific peer-reviewed study next time.
And it's obvious you didn't read the article at all. Or it totally went over your head.0 -
