    Thanks for posting this!! I eat a lot of food and carbs are my fuel! All come from whole grains, veggies, and fruit! This makes me feel a little better about the amount I eat a day. :)

    wow great article nat!! :D

    It makes me feel better about going over my carbs. I may be going over them (not by too much I would say), but I exercise on a daily basis. Cardio every day, and strength usually 3 times a week.

    thank you for posting this!!! there are so many false facts running around MFP about carbohydrates being so bad for you.
    Complex carbohydrates are SO important in the functioning of your body. They are the main source of energy for you, and you should enjoy them :)
