CARBS ARE GOOD!

The best and worst thing about the fitness and nutrition industry is that for every person's opinion, professional or not, there is a opinion from someone else which contradicts what they say. You can back up any argument with science or professional nutritionalists statements but the fact is, we will probably never know what is rite until we try it ourselves.

i've never seen a single research article supporting the notion that eating carbs before bed, or after a certain hour, will put fat on you. like most people are saying, its going above or below your calorie needs thats going to drive it.
As far as wether or not your glycogen stores are full, i'd say thats directly related to how many calories you need. so if you glycogen stores are full, then your probably exceeding your calorie needs anyways. maybe it would be more acurate to say that eating carbs at night (or any time) will only put on fat if you've eaten beyond your carbohydarte needs for the day.
though i'd disagree with that, if you ate a lot of processed sugar in one sitting, and were still below your daily carb needs, the insulin response would cause the sugar in your blood stream to be stored as fat. If you were still in a defecit for the day you probably wouldn't gain weight, but there would still be that biochemical reaction that added to your fat stores.
of course thats the same thing that makes processed sugars a GOOD idea post workout, the insulin resonse that is0 -

The best are the folks that jump on whatever the latest bandwagon is........ juicing, low carb, no carb, vegan, all organic, gluten free, etc. and ferociously try to sell you on it.0 -

No hate here, I just like discussing nutrition
There is 10000 way to lose weight. Just have to find the way that fits your person preference. I have a small set of "rules" I go by, and the rest depends on the day. Carb intake is on of them.

Good points!!
I just really think carbs have been getting a bad rep lately. I think they have their time and their place and if you use common sense, they can be a wonderful thing.0 -

Look what a quick google search brought up......
''If you find you’re gaining too much fat then you should cut out carbs after 7pm. Unless you have a fast metabolism, eating carbs late at night is generally not a good idea. Your body does not need the energy while you’re sleeping so it’s likely to store the carbs as fat''

also think the post about people confusing the term 'grains' with 'carbs' is very accurate.
here are my general guidelines for determining good and carbs:
- Most carbs that don't come pre-packaged are good for you (fruits, veggies, and i'd include starches such as potatoes, but sweet potatoes are better)
- if its made of grain, and it tastes good, its got a high glycemic index (bad carb)0 -

this is what i meant by the common sense stuff. Asparagus = good carb. Oreo cookie = baaaaaaad carb....

That's how I see it too.

I agree, your best off getting your carbs from the source pax states above.
In my opinion i would keep away from breads, most people can't digest wheat properly hence the bloated feeling after eating it. Only my opinion though.0 -
To be fair, PROCESSED carbs are bad. As are processed sugars
And processed meats. And processed dairy. And trans fat. And some saturated fats.
There are plenty of foods that are not especially good for us, regardless of the macronutrient content.0 -

Good lord! One man's meat is another man's poison. If your plan works for you then WHY would you feel the need to go on an anti carb war. For every " I love carbs" person there will be someone that can give you many examples why low carbing ( not no carbs) works for them.

i said i've never seen a single RESEARCH article backing up such claims.
A research artilce contains the methodologies and conclusions of emperical experiments or observations and comes from a peer reviewed journal.
Yes, you can find pretty much anything on the internet to back up just about any statement. but i was looking for some thing acutally based on emperical research, not just what one guy thinks based on his experience. find me one of those and you get a gold star.0 -

Aww, that makes me feel sad for you. I prefer the taste of many low GI or GL grains to the more processed stuff. I never cared much for rice until I tasted brown rice. 100% whole grain bread is much tastier and more filling than the processed white stuff. Pasta is better when it's cooked al dente, than when it's overcooked and mushy.
In general, I've found that the more processed the grain the less flavor it has. I suppose that's why they have to add so many flavor enhancers to processed foods.0 -

I'm an avid follower of The Blood Type Diet and The Genotype Diet books from Dr. Peter D'Adamo. Since I'm an O+ blood type, I eat accordingly. It fits me to a T.
I also have systemic Candida and various food allergies/intolerances that affect my eating.
The great thing about the world we live in is, we have a choice. I'm so glad that others can not force their ideals and dogma down my throat.0
