DO I REALLY NEED TO GIVE UP CARBS

Stella_Mayfair

Only processed white carbs like apples and potatoes.

Never in my life. No apples are like the best for a tight tummy. An apple a day is a good thing... So all white is processed? lol

Absolutely not!!! Your body needs carbs. . You should be more concerned about the types of carbs you are eating and the time of day that you are consuming them. . . :bigsmile:

God I hope not, I LOVE carbs haha.

Carbs are an essential part of a diet. They are the quicker-burning energy that should be paired with protein for day-long satiety and energy.

No, just no. If there's one thing I've learned on here, calorie deficit . Eat less, move more. Carbs are yummy!:flowerforyou:

Ignore the time of day thing. It does not matter when you eat your carbs.

^ Yep. Time of day stuff is more "if you're eating late at night, you've probably already eaten your meals for the day and are just snacking unnecessarily because you're bored". If you're just eating dinner later, then it doesn't matter.

Calories in, calories out. That's the key.

At my last appointment my dietician actually told me to eat more carbs, so.....

I am about to certify as a physical trainer and yes if you eat complex carbs for dinner unless you are doing a late workout they just sit in your system while you are watching tv and sleeping. . .

now fruit and veggies in the evening are okay. but breads rices, and pastas should be eaten earlier in the day.

I just ate a dinner roll. Tomorrow I plan to have a big juicy burger with a bun. Carbs are my friend. I would be sad if I lost my carb buddies.

Lol. I eat carbs at night and they don't "sit in my system". Stop spreading this crap information.

So what if they sit in my system? You're telling me my body shuts down completely at night and that the activity I do throughout the day or even the next day doesn't matter? Game over? Or?

Because...this entire pint of gelato I'm eating tonight RIGHT before bed is still gonna happen because 53 lbs lost and considerably amount of body fat lost later....I think I'm doing okay. You can keep your quackery.

Whoever is certifying you needs to have THEIR certification revoked for spreading misinformation.

OP and anyone else. Do not listen to personal trainers on nutrition. Go to a Registered Dietician.

In that case could you give your thoughts on the studies from this article that seem to suggest the opposite?
