    I burn a lot of calories and do post and pre workout carb mini load but if I even slack for a week and raise my card intack my weight goes up and not lean weight ! All bodies are different and I will be the 1st to admit women are beast in the gym ! When I find a really dedicated female weight lifter I have trouple keeping up with her I can see why women can ingest more carbs than men .

    For the know it all no avatar guy I am still courious of your age . your goals , your macros and your esercise routine and besides being fro the north east what else will you share ?

    You can take out all processed foods (so almost all "whole grain" products) and do amazingly well. I don't consider that low carb though because anything that isn't a protein or a fat is a carb. If you are eating lots of veggies you are eating a lot of carbs, but the good kind. The less processed foods you can eat the better. Your body will love you for it!

    Technically, whole grain wouldn't be processes.

    Whole wheat, however, would.

    How about this when you are thinking of loosing weight ? You get all of your fat cells in your body when you are in your mother's womb and you get more fat cells when you go through pubirity .

    With this fact in mind you do not actually loos weight unless you have surgery and = Lipo not healthy and then excess skin issues if you were huge .

    When we strive to reshape our bodies all we are doing is shrinking fat cells we do not actually loose fat ? The cells are still there but through exercise and a balanced endo system and proper functioning organs we can shrink fat cells and the most dangerous ones we have that lead to glucose issues and heart problems are belly fat and this is where most average people are happy shrinking fat cells so if you approach your health and weight and BMI with this in mind you will find the results much more easy to understand ! Since all calories do not react the same way in the body ie. fat and carbs are either stored as fat or burned as energy when exercising and protien serves to build health cells so if you ingest to many carbs or to much fat you increase the size of the fat cells ? They never go away only change in size due to life style :)

    For a not actually easy but simple to remember principle will be followed most people will loose 30% of their fat if they stop sodas , Processed / canned foods , bread , dairy products and drink a Gal of water a day . Nothing to count or keep up with or anything except strick healthy foods and these simple rules
