    Everyone should watch "Fathead" documentary and make up your own mind. It was eye-opening.

    i think it just depends on the person and how THEIR body stores certain foods. i dont think a diet too low in carbs is a good thing, you needs carbs but you also need to burn them off so eating carbs only in the morning for breakfast and midmorning snack is a good idea, and its also about choosing the right carbs the less refined the better.

    but who can say no to a nice big bowl of pasta for dinner lol.

    Is there any new information about low carb dieting that is keeping it alive?

    Yeah, mounds of research pointing at grains, refined and processed carbs as causing Syndrome X.

    I do plan to see Fathead on Netflix this weekend. For my body, it is not enough to simply get fuel from carbs. I can't stave off hunger and build muscle on a high carb diet. i certainly wouldn't be able to knock out straight legged push-ups on a diet based on junk food.

    I think maybe you need to define what you are calling "Low Carb". I actually think South Beach is very balanced, at least in Phases II and III. Lean proteins, good fats, vegetables, whole fruit, and whole grain/complex carbs. I am planning on doing this when I get the time to focus on it and get my pantry in order.

    What do you follow? How does it compare to "Low Carb"?
