You know, it's interesting. The French eat carbs and they as a whole are not fat. In fact, they eat BAGUETTES daily and don't get fat. That's WHITE BREAD. GASP!

It might be more accurate to say that the American habit of eating pre-packaged processed foods, french fries and burgers and not enough produce has made us fat.

For some people, low-carb works. Doesn't do it for me. I've done South Beach...and yes, I lost weight. But I did not ENJOY doing South Beach. It was like waging war with food every day and in the end it was like every other diet I've tried - unsustainable. I'm sorry, but if I go on a diet that I am incapable of sticking to, that diet is utterly worthless to me, effective or no.

I'm eating *some* carbs on this diet. I have potatoes, maybe one slice of whole-grain bread with eggs if I eat those...the occasional serving of couscous. I don't go overboard and I find to my everlasting surprise that this is a diet that feels comfortable and satisfying. And most importantly sustainable. I'll stick with what I'm doing, thanks.

To heck with it, I'll eat what I want and just try to burn more than I take in. Seems to be working so far.

or you might try to take in less that you burn. that seems to be working too.

It depends on your body if low carbs wil work for you. some people it does others it doesnt. for me eating carbs from pasta or potatoes or white rice reeks havoc on my system especially if i eat it in the evening for dinner. i try to stick to whole wheat bread and whole grains staying away from pasta potatoes and rice most of the time works for me. and I try to stay away from foods that have too much sugar in it

Ugh. Never mind. Ignorance is bliss and who am I to take that away from someone?

I'm a low carber and its not the carbs that make you fat, its eating over your maintenance.

Low Carbing works for me but there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Sadly, I dont think the truth will ever be allowed out. Too many big industries (i.e. flour, sugar, pharmaceutical, supermarkets) are making too much money from the present "so called" healthy eating regime. No one can touch it. Whatever you believe, you should ask the question, why is obesity, heart disease and diabetes on the increase in such a huge scale?

Tell me in your own words how carbs make you fat?

No offense man, but I am not here to play gotcha game. I could throw this right back in your court and say tell me in your own words how fat makes you fat.

I am just posting a news report that I happen to agree with. Not you, but it seems many people get their panties all in a bunch if someone comes out against the typical standard nutritional diet. There is science to back up both theories. Are we that closed minded to fully shut out the whole low carb thing?

So in other words you have no idea how carbs supposedly make you fat, you're just jumping on the latest fear mongering bandwagon

Carbs turn into glucose, in another words sugar and that is the first thing your body will use to turn into energy and if you are not burning enough it will keep it as fat tissue. If you eat low carbs, and your body burned it all ans still needs energy , it will automatically go to fat in your body to burn. The only carbs we should be eating are the healthy carbs from fruits and veggies, but even that should be eating before 5 or 6 pm and not after, since the metabolism is slowing down

And what happens to dietary fat in a low carb diet, just disappears?

And do you have any evidence eating carbs after 5 or 6pm is worse for you, even if they are so called clean carbs?

i dont know about the rest of you, but yes, carbs (bread, grain, etc) make me fat.

Kobayashi 64 hotdogs. he's clearly fat.

I am not a 'low carb newbie' -and carbs will make you fat if you don't control them. That goes for everyone. People with metabolic syndrome specifically do not use carbs normally (speaking of the 'white carbs' variety). Ever heard of insulin resistance. Mine are stored as fat. Imediately. Period. Don't bash people for wanting to get helathy. Let them find what works and wish them well. Not every body is made alike with the same daily influences. Good luck everyone! You deserve it!

***Correction*** Simple, processed carbohydrates made from processed sugars and white flours make you fat in excessive amounts when eaten on a regular basis.

I stay away from them altogether, but people eating a small portion of them in conjunction with a balanced meal/diet are not going to blow up. They're just too widely available and wholegrains need to be their replacement

everything makes you fat if you eat it to excess. x

So glad you posted this - i've been wondering about it!

I'm sick of these threads. Use common sense. Carbs from pizza and snickers bars = bad. Carbs from oranges and sweet potatoes = good. Quit confusing people and making them think they need to follow fad diets. Eat more natural food and less processed food. Or eat whatever the hell you want. If you think carbs are bad, don't eat them, just quit preaching to other people.

Lol, so the sucrose in Snickers = bad, but the sucrose in oranges = good?

I'll read this as soon as my sausage biscuit is finished toasting.

Well, the carbs in oranges come with nutrients and vitamins as well as being fresh and natural.

So yeah. I'd say so
