It depends on if I'm running or not. Right now I'm running. I just increased my carbs to 50% of my diet. For reference, I run 4 -5 miles M, W, F and elliptical 4ish miles Tu, Th. Saturday I bike (I love biking, I just don't lose much weight that day). With so much cardio, I was starting to feel a little tired until I uped my carbs a bit.0

What makes a good carb good and a bad carb bad?
The bad ones come from a broken home?

carb intake is relative to anaerobic exercise level.0

*Agree and I try to stay under 200 but that doesn't always happen. Either way it didn't get in the way of my weight loss. It's more of a I don't want an excessive amount or dangerously low amount thing.You can lose weight without cutting carbs. I eat over 200 a day and I still lose.
^^agree i eat about 150 a day.0 -

Yes in the mnority and even then that still doesn't matter... I am a type 2 diabetic and was insulin resistant but through diet and exercise have reversed the disease but never restricted carb intake to accomplish this.... I just changed the kinda food I was eating...
I was going to make the same post. I'm type 2, insulin resistant, and have turned it around with diet and exercise. I track carbs, just because, but I don't restrict them.0 -
There's no such thing as "bad" carbs or "good" carbs. They are all the same. 4 calories per gram.Wow!!!!! Maybe there is a reason I just joined the message board. I'm learning about carbs and the fact that I CAN lose weight eating them. I will say I feel better staying away from the "bad" ones i.e. white veggies, pasta, and sugar. Thanks so much for the replies!

Agreed... I eat an average of 320 grams a day and am still losing weight....
I would listen to the guy who lost 307 lbs. Really, that's incredible.0 -
i only stay under my carbs if they are very good looking.0

eat most of your carbs before noon. that will help. eat bread that is only 80 calories or less. 1 per meal, more at breakfast, little at lunch & less at supper. Go to Dr.Oz. his show today was about carbs and insanity workout0

the only thing my carb intake is relative to is what food happens to be in my house and what I happen to be hungry for and what macros need filling. nothing else0 -

This is a joke. RIGHT.0 -

Very simple, I'm pretty sure he's implying that if a sedentary person starts doing a lot of anaerobic exercises, they will appreciate more carbohydrates (usually in the form of glycogen) then the sedentary counterpart. Examples:
"Finally, another factor
that may have contributed to the rapid attainment of supramaximal glycogen levels is the avoidance of exercise on the
day of carbohydrate loading"
http://www.edulife.com.br/dados\Artigos\Nutricao\Nutricao Esportiva e Suplementacao\CHO loading.pdf
"Anaerobic/intermittent exercise relies predominantly on the anaerobic glycolysis pathway, which uses carbohydrate as substrate and aerobic exercise relies on the tricarboxylic acid cycle and fat, or a mixture of fat and carbohydrate for energy production."

Dangerously low is when it gets so low it's dangerous.

Stating your opinion does not make you a troll. You might not agree with him, but that doesn't make him a troll.0 -

I'd love for you to find a post to illustrate my anti low carb stance/low carb trolling0 -
I eat 25 or less grams of net carbs on an average day. I incorporate fruit and veggies, all fresh, no processed food. It works for me.0

If you plan to follow a paleo/primal diet, 50-100g carbs/day is the recommended area for 'effortless' weight loss. I recommend ditching the grains. Our bodies are virtually identical to our ancestors of 10k years ago, yet we eat and exercise completely differently. Humans are not supposed to be ingesting 200g+ per day. People may be able to not get fat by exercising and not overeating, but the repeated blood sugar, and consequently insulin spikes, over the years can wear your body out and you can still easily develop a myriad of dietary-related afflictions, such as diabetes or insulin resistance.0

Guess Sisson didn't mention Paleo man is estimated to have eaten 300g of carbs daily?
