    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:

    3583331447_c94ee278e2_z.jpg

    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. :smile:

    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!

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

    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.
