OMG, this is awesome.

Yum. Me too

I can always lose weight faster if I cut carbs, but I know it's not a sustainable change for me. I cannot completely cut them out, I LOOOOVE them too much.

Bread, pizza, mashed potatoes, PASTA...I am miserable without you guys.

* sigh *

I do miss my carbs. (Severe Type II diabetic here). Especially Cinnamon Buns, were my fav:



I'm jealous of those of you that can enjoy these things regularly, LOL. For me to eat a cinnamon bun and STILL maintain glycemic control I have to follow 3 steps:

1. Ride my bike 50km (30 miles) to a small-town coffee shop west of the city that makes amazing cinnamon buns,
2. Eat said ooey-gooey cinnamon bun over the course of 20 - 30 minutes, then
3. Ride 50km (30 miles still) back home at a very fast pace - at minimum 30km/h (19mph), ouch.

I did this once with a CGMS (continuous glucose monitoring system) and found I didn't once spike anywhere near damaging levels.

For the record - there is nothing wrong with enjoying carbohydrates if your body also enjoys carbohydrates.

Sadly, mine doesn't, so I'll live vicariously through y'all's food-porn thread.

I love carbs too - I am also very addicted to them, they make me feel bloated, depressed, angry, unhappy, and emotional. I can't eat processed carbs without feeling at least ONE of those side effects.

Processed carbs and sugar also helped me gain over 80 pounds (24 of those are gone thanks to a *reduced* carb diet).

To each their own!

nobody gets fat eating carbs. people get fat eating TOO MANY carbs. that's what it was for me. lots of breads, pasta, and sweetened iced teas mostly.

i don't advocate that anyone eat more carbs than they can fit in their macros for the day (IIFYM). as long as you don't do that, i say, "EAT ALL THE CARBS!" :happy:

That's bad *kitten*. I'd do it with you. But more for the workout. Hell...if you ride 100 km or 60 miles, a cinnamon bun can't even hurt you, because it would be burned up. Right?

I agree. I got fat eating too much, period. I have also lost weight by eating 1600 calories and working out an hour a few days a week. I don't think carbs get me. I think I get me. And I think junk I am very addicted to triggers me to massively binge and put on unhealthy fat.
