Too many calories, regardless of their source lead to body fat. Carbs are the only source of energy that can be utilized by the brain and by red blood cells. They are absolutely essential to life.
No. Carbohydrates are NOT essential to life. You couldn't be more wrong on this.
I second that you couldn't be more wrong. The BEST fuel ever... is FAT! Please read my blog on the BIG Fat Lie! I am on a high fat, protein and mineral lifestyle change. We can ALL live without Carbs - "manmade" but we cannot live healthy without FAT! I have more energy than I've ever had, and I don't take in hardly ANY Carbs.
I don't eat ANY bread whatsoever! No pasta - at all... no more! No crackers, no processed foods of any kind, no cereals, anything to do with the grain family... it is ALL bad for you. Serves as NO benefits AT ALL!
I don't count calories, I eat what I want as long as it's real food, and all of it is loaded with FAT! The fat that is good for you comes from, butter, coconut oil, olive oil, animal fat -(LARD)- Omega's ie; fish oils, almond oils!
Bad fats - Vegetable oils of any kind - margarine - reduced fat, or lites... these are all man-made and in fact are killing us! Do some research, you'll be shocked at what you'll find.
So far, since January 19th - I've lost 30lbs - eating real foods, and not cutting my healthy fats. I don't eat anything, that says, fat-free, low-fat, or reduced fat... anything that says that... is BAD BAD BAD for you! Stay away. God made fats from animals, nuts, and healthy real foods, are absolutely healthy in every way!
Real foods: Meats, Poultry, Fish, Nuts, Greens and dark berry fruits... to lose weight, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. When I say carbs... I'm not talking about complex carbs - vegetables and fruits... all healthy if not over cooked.
Carbs - unhealthy... is ANYTHING coming out of a box, or a freezer which has a LOOOOONG expiry date on it.
All healthy food sources should be traced back ONCE to it's original source, if you can't trace it back ONCE - don't eat it! But fats, from real foods, are healthy and essential.
Carbs out of a card board box... not! Also... if you can't get to fresh vegetables, as long as you eat grass fed animals, their liver, heart, etc. and meats with fat... you'll be fine - you'll be healthy!
I'm completely confused now, you think carbs only come out of foods that ship in a box?0 -

You sir are absolutely wrong, they are very much an essential part of life.

Carbs make me feel like I have SUPERPOWERS!
I know it's different for everyone, but I feel and function best when I get about 55-60% of my calories from carbs. :-)0 -

Dude read some of the other posts, they are not essential. Dietary carbs are not essential. Glucose is essential, but it can be generated without eating dietary carbs.
Everything we need can be generated from non-dietary sources. That doesn't make it ideal.0 -
You're going to die from something. It may as well taste good.0

Its the starch in the carbs I cannot tolerate - and I can't eat much fruit either. But give me a plate full of veg, lean meat and a serving of rice noodles (gluten free) and I'm a happy bunny!
Depends on the person - which should, of course, be taken into account.0 -
What no sammiches:noway: I like sammiches. I put chips and crackers in mine:happy: You are missing out!

You don't need it. The best fuel... BEST is from Healthy essential fats! Grains are for livestock! Healthy diet is the following...
1.) Essential healthy Fats!
2.) Protein from Meats, Poultry, Fish, Dairy
3.) Minerals from FRESH green leaf vegetables, and dark berry fruits... avoid starches when losing weight. After weight goal has been reached, go ahead and eat the REAL FOODS that are starchy.
But breads, grains... all of that boxed pasta, all of it is bad!0 -

They apparently also think nuts, fruits and vegetables don't have carbs. Heck, even meat has some carbs. I'm not sure it's possible to eat enough food to live on without getting any carbs at all.0 -

Would you care to substantiate that fat is the best fuel, particularly concerning cognitive and athletic performance?0 -

Wasn't here last year, must be another person who didn't agree with you...but anyway it's not important I was just responding in kind. Let's move back to the topic.0 -
The OP wanted a carb war. LOL
BTW, in human dietary terminology ESSENTIAL means your body needs it to live but cannot produce it. Aside from essential vitamins, there are essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. The body can produce it's own glucose, therefore consumed carbs are NOT essential. In limited amounts they are nice, but not essential.0 -

Ok explain to me why you think carbs are essential to human life, and then I'll explain why you're wrong.0 -
You see how big those cattle get off grain? We have different goals I guess. I wanna be as big as a bull!

Nice and almost impossible to avoid. I think some posters confuse whether they are essential with whether we can practically live without them. If we ate zero carb diets, we'd have to do a lot of supplementing.0 -
I love carbs, and will continue to eat them. Non carb eaters are awesome though. I tend to think people who do things that i cannot do are amazing.0
-
You're misinformed and incorrect.You're wrong! No, You're wrong!0 -
I already answered if they were important or not...
They are important but not essentially needed from other sources as you can substitute with the right amount of fat ( has to be a poly over 6)
Still reccommend you eat some though :laugh:0 -
I feel my best when eating a low carb/high fat diet. Starchy carbs and my body do not mix well.0
-
Carbs are awesome! I love carbs! I'm getting lean and fit eating 50% carbs, and you'd have to pry my carbs from my cold, dead hands!! Go ahead and live on nothing but meat and eggs if you want to, but it's NOT for me....not EVER. :noway:0

I'll have a bread sandwich on wheat.....please.

I used to live next door to some carbohydrates. They never took care of their lawn, and I always heard them screaming and yelling at each other. I'm also pretty sure they killed my dog. I can't prove it, but I just know they did.0
