Girl, I eat bread, ice cream, chocolate, pizza...whatever I'm feeling. I'm still losing pounds and inches like crazy. If you eat in a deficit, you will lose weight. Period.0

I lost 50lbs eating lots of carbs but then stalled for 6 months, dropped my carbs to 100-150g per day and 150g protein and its falling off. Also feel better in myself! X0

I never said Serbia. But I live in zagreb part time and US part time. I have my family there. They all seem to get it. And the ones who don't are the ones with the weight problems. Go figure.
Btw, this is total speculation but might have some impact: westernization of lyfestile has probably gone much further in Zagreb than in rural Serbia .
This doesn'change the fact that average Serbian is traditionally consuming large quantities of bread and pastry without the obesity problem.
Aineko, I agree with all your points raised.0 -
I was talking about genetic modifications that have been made to produce higher yield.
Here is some information about the history of wheat consumption and the effects it might have on many people:http://www.beyondveg.com/cordain-l/grains-leg/grains-legumes-1a.shtml
Here is an article on the components of modern wheat that may be contributing to the obesity epidemic (i'm not saying wheat is the sole cause, but it may be playing a role): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-hyman/wheat-gluten_b_1274872.html
I'm happy to learn GM crops are banned in Serbia if that is the case,0 -
I eat at least two slices of whole grain bread a day, and sometimes up to two cups of whole grain spaghettii. Always with chicken or fish, and always with a green of some sort.
I lost my last 15 lbs, which are the hardest to lose this way with carbs.
God Bless you guys that can live wihout them. My BF is a bodybuilder who eats chicken and broccoli for 6-8 weeks at a time when he is training and I will friggin leave him if he does not learn to be a psycho.

That is a moderate amount of carbs which is a good amount for weight loss even just maintaining. I consider low carb below 100.
It must be fantastic to lose again after such a long plateau.0 -

This is a very timely post for me to read! I have lost weight, by still eating the foods I like, but not eating as much. I have probably gained back a few pounds, but mostly because I haven't been as diligent, and just in the last few weeks hearing all the no carb hype was making me second guess my success! I don't think it's good to totally cut out something from your diet, Unless it's mushrooms. Yuck.0

Its really really simple people.
Some people's bodies react to sugar differently than yours.
Their cells are not as receptive or sensitive to insulin as yours are.
That's it in a nutshell.
So some people do not have to limit carbs in order to lose weight.
Yay for them!
Others can only loose weight by limiting carbs.
Is this soooo difficult to understand?0 -
Same here..I love bread and can't imagine excluding it from my diet..0

Best of luck on YOUR journey.0
