    I have never seen anyone here or anywhere who eliminates ALL carbs.

    So, quit putting the " NO carbs" in peoples mouths

    Quit putting kitty kats in my eye!

    So, I can drop the potatos, the rice, the pasta, and get all my carbs from VEGETABLES (which are carbs)... Right?

    Yes. I'm right.

    Why? Because I dropped carbs, feel fan-frikkin'-tastic, and I've lost weight. So there.

    Thats right i said it.

    1.) Carbs are fuel, treat them as such and they will present no problem for you
    2.) no carb nazis get sick from not having carbs...proof enough?
    3.) i do realize there are bad carbs. if you need someone to tell you wheat bread is better than bleached white bread or to put down the cookie, then you have bigger problems.

    I love carbs. They give me energy.

    AMEN! ME TOO!

    The real secret to carbs, in my humble opinion, is to eat them before workouts early in the day and gradually eat less of them w/ each meal.

    My dinner only consists of veggie carbs. no bread or flour carbs after like 3 pm ever.

    again depends on how much you work out, the type of work out etc. you need carbs for burning fuel and you cannot escape that fact.

    I eat carbs, proteins, and fats at every meal, including a dessert after dinner each night.

    I can agree with you here to a point, if I was a running long distances i may carb up before. But for minimal cardio (eliptical, short runs, bootcamp) and weight training I think we can stick with our minimal Carbs. I say this as its seems to be the only thing that my body responds positively to, which is probably due to me being within a normal weight range. Or my body is an *kitten*! So...in summation carbs are the devil!!!!

    My rule:

    Good carbs = ones you eat
    Bad carbs = the box they come in

    Aslong as you are eating the right type of carbs its not a problem. I have slow release carbs (oats) in the morning when i wake, then I have fast release carbs immediately after training then an hour later i will have some more carbs in the from of grains. However when i cut down in the summer i do tend to go low carbs (70-100g per day) this tends to help me lean up, possibly due to lack of water retention.

    P.s If you eat too much protein, carbs or fat you put on fat.

    Carbs ARE great, IF your body is able to handle them correctly/efficiently. But not everyone's body can (i.e. insulin resistance, diabetes, etc.)

    Some of us aren't so lucky =/ I have insulin resistance and have to really restrict carbs (yes, even complex carbs like veggies) on top of medication and exercise my butt off just to maintain a normal weight.

    Consider yourself amoungst the lucky unplagued, friend.

    Out of curiosity, why do you think that you shouldn't have carb heavy meals after 3pm?

    It really doesn't make a difference. I usually have my most carb heavy meal around 8 o'clock.

    it is me! :)

    I think Tenster hit it on the head. And i'm not saying that cuz his no shirt on pic is hotter than mine.

    I just really hate the carb nazi people. i think its bad advice especially for those people who work out a lot.

    and sorry kitty cat person, you're not right. carbs before bed turn to sugar cuz you dont have enough time/energy output to burn them off.
