    33 = mil and cereal you know the way 99.9994% of the people eat their cereal Ill give you minus 2.6 fiber

    You ranted about massive added sugar, and only 5.8 g of that is added sugar (and I still think you incorrectly added the sugar and the carbs).

    But that's not what I'm talking about now. I'm talking about the baseless claim that 33 g of carbs = bad for you.

    Why?

    You can't give a reason.

    Don't forget the donut afterwards.

    Speaking of donuts, there were a group of bodybuilders on intensemuscle who replaced their normal carbs with glazed donuts, kids cereal, pancakes etc during their contest preps. They still came in the same condition as before less than 5% bodyfat. They called it Skiploading or something

    Amazing how the sugar industry managed to get 5.8grams per box put into a HEALTHY cereal that already has 26 grams of Carbs

    First of all, Special K is more promoted as low cal than healthy.

    Second, "the sugar industry" did nothing. Consumer taste and Kellogg's decided to make a cereal with added sugar. You can buy cereal without it too.

    And if you are concerned about added sugar, why rant about 33 g, most of which is obviously NOT added sugar. You seem to think all carbs are bad for people (see also posts complaining about the promotion of fruits and veg). Absurd.

    I wonder why I'm not fat? I mean I'd guestimate that about 40% of my diet is carbohydrates...when I was heavily plant based it was more like 50-60%...still not fat. And if carbs were the devil I'd imagine that every vegan on the planet would be morbidly obese...

    I'm going to go eat my coconut curry potato and lentil stew now...with some evil cumin roasted cauliflower...probably gonna get keel over after that...though I hope not as I'm supposed to lead a 30 mile group ride tomorrow if the weather holds...people are counting on me...

    recipe? *drool*

    you need CARBS but not at the 40% of your diet level

    Bodybuilders of the 80's, the last era before the bloatmaxxers and pregnant alien stomachs, had diets up to 70% carbs. Some switched to LC/keto, Mike Quinn comes to mind, and ended up in the worst shape of their careers
