Hi there! I eat TONS of veggies. Veggies such as corn or sweet potatoes etc... contain complex carbs which don’t manifest into sugar such as simple carbs.
The what now? :huh:
Haha! I like the emoji. Big difference in simple carbs vs complex carbs. You’ve probably done some studying on this yourself. My goal is to mainly ingest complex carbs so I don’t store fat through simple carbs. Eating too many of the wrong carbs can lead to health problems (diabetes) and unwanted weight gain. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know!
Eating too many calories is what creates weight gain. It isn't a function of eating too many carbohydrates.
I suggest you read some threads here and check out the results achieved by successful posters who regularly eat all kinds of carbohydrates, including simple ones. Of the people with high level fitness achievement here, I don't think there is anyone who has eliminated simple carbohydrates. It's just not necessary.
Carbs have 4 calories per gram.0 -

No, eating too many calories causes weight gain
EXACTLY right!!! Bad carbs convert to calories! Take the number of simple carbs you ingest and multiply that number by four and it will equal to the number of calories that the carbs are turning into. Example: 4 grams of bad carbs= 16 calories. Simple carbs are the “back door” into getting too many calories.
No.... :noway:2 -

This is a correct statement. +1 for you.9 -

Fat, protein, and alcohol also have calories per gram. Calories aren't something that is only found in carbohydrates, so focusing exclusively on carbohydrates (as you are doing here) makes no sense.2 -

Power to you! I think my post was directed a little more towards body fat percentage vs muscle gain. Mainly the stomach area and other places that sugar likes to hide from the naked eye. Looking good though!10 -
What I got out of reading this thread first thing logging in this morning (when I was waking up with my first cup of coffee) was get up, get off the couch, make changes instead of excuses, etc. etc. I needed that motivation this morning as I have been in a downward slump for way too long now! Thanks for that and welcome.3

What the *kitten* does this even mean?
Your body doesn't know the difference between sugar in Skittles or sugar in strawberries. @anvilhead - will you do your awesome sugar talk?7 -
Is it "massive" results? Or is it "fast" results? Not sure which you are advocating because you are using both terms, but in either case, eating carbs won't prevent it.
"Outworking" everybody in the room won't necessarily give you more massive results either. Sometimes, in fact, the very opposite might happen. As with many things, balance matters also. I would 100% sabotage my progress if I did not balance the work part with the rest part. (In fitness, rest is where the magic happens).
BTW, 1 gram of complex carbs =~ 4 kcal. 1 gram of simple carbs =~ 4 kcal. Bad carbs don't convert to calories. Excess (i.e. unused) calories convert to fat.
If you want to extol the virtues of keto, be my guest. It is one of many eating methods that work with a calorie deficit. Carry a similar deficit over time to any other plan and guess what, it works about the same. In weight loss it ain't the what - it's the how much.
If you want to extol the virtues of hard work of commitment (to weight loss or fitness), you likely won't get much argument around here.
What you will find around here is an approach to nutrition and fitness that takes overall health into account. Eat at a (not massive, but sensible) deficit to lose weight. Eat a (not massive, but sensible) surplus to gain weight. Train in a way that promotes adequate recovery without burnout. Optimize both for most healthy path to your goals.
I appreciate the fact that you are motivated. I don't think anyone wants to rain on that parade. I would simply recommend to be motivated to do it right. There are enough flags in your original post to suggest that you may have a little bit to learn about how this really works. Take some time and read some of the amazing success stories. Read about the many diet scams out there, including those who bastardize a perfectly legitimate way of eating (keto). You'll find many of those have a lot more to gain than just parroting an eating program.
Good luck.10 -
I feel like I should add that I was up at 3:45 this morning (and every morning) hitting the gym. But I ate said maple bar. Am I currently in the positive or in the negative for all the "massive action" results?11

What flavor cake and ice cream?
I'm having hashbrowns with my dinner. Does that count? And I have enough carbs left after dinner for some Haribo.

Thank you for this. It has brightened my day.
I am now off to eating chocolate and drinking wine. Within my cal limit, of course. I have a special magnifying glass which I regularly use on my stomach in order to identify whether sugar tries to hide there or not, so I'm not too concerned of a possible surprise invasion.15 -

Simple carbs are digested quickly and cause changes in blood sugar levels leading to over eating. Sorry for the confusion!!17 -

Given that carbohydrates are the currently demonized macronutrient, I think most people are aware of the concept of "bad carbs." It's why we see so many confused people here asking if they will still be able to lose weight if they sometimes have a banana or pasta (spoiler alert: yes, they will).
Carbohydrates *are* fuel for the body. Your personal feelings on the "badness" of some carbohydrates doesn't change that. When people fuel up during endurance sports, what do you think most of them are consuming? It isn't vegetable oil or egg whites.
Simple carbohydrates are found in all kinds of foods, including the corn and sweet potatoes that you claim to eat frequently. I know you said you don't consider those foods to be simple carbohydrates, but your feelings don't change fructose into something else. Does eating a lot of corn and sweet potatoes cause you to overeat?7 -

Carbs have 4 calories per gram.
Fat, protein, and alcohol also have calories per gram. Calories aren't something that is only found in carbohydrates, so focusing exclusively on carbohydrates (as you are doing here) makes no sense.
I agree. The idea behind avoiding bad carbs is directed towards the notion that most people don’t realize that there are such things as bad carbs. It’s just fuel for my body right? No, it’s not. Simple carbs are digested quickly and cause changes in blood sugar levels leading to over eating. Sorry for the confusion!!
Still no

Because simple carbs are digested more quickly doesn't make them "bad." That is what we are disagreeing with.
Sometimes, quick carbs are good. Ask any diabetic. And they don't lead directly to overeating, like you state.
That Harvard article just describes what happens when you eat simple and complex carbs.7 -
This thread delivers! I was taking a massive action earlier and I'm sure the guy in the next stall over was wondering what had me chuckling so much.

Hi there! I eat TONS of veggies. Veggies such as corn or sweet potatoes etc... contain complex carbs which don’t manifest into sugar such as simple carbs.
The what now? :huh:
Haha! I like the emoji. Big difference in simple carbs vs complex carbs. You’ve probably done some studying on this yourself. My goal is to mainly ingest complex carbs so I don’t store fat through simple carbs. Eating too many of the wrong carbs can lead to health problems (diabetes) and unwanted weight gain. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know!
Eating too many calories is what creates weight gain. It isn't a function of eating too many carbohydrates.
I suggest you read some threads here and check out the results achieved by successful posters who regularly eat all kinds of carbohydrates, including simple ones. Of the people with high level fitness achievement here, I don't think there is anyone who has eliminated simple carbohydrates. It's just not necessary.

Where does that article say 'bad carbs' make you fat?7 -
I love quick digesting carbs. Lead to great workouts and actually helps me not binge eat on junk if my blood sugar crashes at work.... Im not seeing how pointing out how our body digests carbs makes you right, Labeling them good and bad is just silly and what we are saying. Both types have their place in a healthy diet ( and really are the same just mixed with different things especially your sugar arguement you now seem to have dropped). Trying to complicate it and umbrella term everything for everyone is what your getting pushback on.3
