The new thing today seems to be to blame fat on carbs. Am i the only one who is pro-carb? I eat about ~250 carbs, ~160 g of protein, and ~65 g fat per day. I come out to my goal calories of about 3000.
Isn't it excess CALORIES that make you fat? Why would it matter with the calories come from, as long as their clean calories and within your caloric goals??? I don't think its excess carbs that convert to fat, its excess food that is not burned off throughout the day, no matter what the source..carbs, protein, fat.. As you know.. excess protein is converted to fat, too!!!
All of my carbs come from fruit, veggies, & whole wheat bread. Every day I go to the gym, I am FULL of energy. I have seen SO many forums telling people to drop or lower the fruit to lower carbs.. simple or complex carbs, fruit is damn good for you, and the benefits TREMENDOUSLY outweigh the negatives. its the natural candy God made us!!!
I have a clean diet & cheat sparingly.. isn't that the true objective? Show me a someone who is fat from too much fruit and veggies, and I'll jump on the bandwagon!!
I really believe that people lose weight on Atkins, etc. because they are more consious of the food & type of food they eat rather than the carbohydrate ratio.
Science won't convince me.. because today someone says apples lower the risk of lung cancer, but tomorrow they will say that apples cause kidney failure. 10 years ago, the diet fad was low fat, high carb. Isn't this low carb thing just next in line?
I'm not saying pack on the Carbs as high as you can go... the key to all of dieting is moderation. Stay within your calorie boudaries, exercise hard, and the results will follow.
I'm pretty sure 99% of you will disagree, but anyone agree?
