8 reasons carbs help you lose weight

This article is absolutely crap.... if you want to lose weight or want to gain muscle it is simple... low carbs- try to eat healthy carbs if at all possible... and lots of protein!!!I know sometimes it is not possible and you are aloud to slip up... some good carbs that I used before beefing up and litterally at 1 % body fat and gained 15 pounds of muscle by just normally working out (You don't have to work out to lose weight I promise that is just want I wanted to do) good carbs with protein- beans are really good, brown rice, vegetables-carrots, brocoli and such... and eat lots of protein.. the solution is simple you need your protein to try to beat your carbs for the day and I know its hard... those that haven't tried the Atkins diet is great and I promise it will work. Eat lots of meat- chicken pork preferably.... redmeat last but it is still good just carries more fat... I hope no one tries whatever this author does- u will surely end up with diabeties, arteries clogged.... the whole kahuna!!!!

This is absolute crap and junk science. If you follow this way of eating you are GUARANTEED to gain weight, become diabetic or both. it's also a sure way to develop all the associated metabolic problems that go with them. None of what this article says is up with the latest science. When I became diabetic and overweight, I listened to a "registered dietician like the quoted Sari Greaves, and only got sicker.

It was only when I did some research and found out that what I was being told was the opposite of what I needed to do and cut out those things mentioned as "good" for you in this article that I lost weight, got all my blood indicators under control and became no longer hypertensive or diabetic.

When are dieticians going to stop spouting the party line that is killing us in modern western society.

I agree to this also. I've actually been told this way. "The reason you shouldn't run away from carbs are that they are actually your friend. They send messages to your brain that you are full longer. They release fatty acids in your digestive system to activate your fat burning enzymes, especially in the belly. In some research it actually states that if you eat a rich diet of carbs you are more likely to lose more weight vice taking them out completely. Carbs curb your hunger as stated earlier but they are also rich in fiber and you know what happens when you take fiber in. That is another reason to do it." So I definitely agree my body was not operating well without carbs.

believe this!!! I HAVE DIETED FOR 10 YEARS... AND MISSING OUT CARBS OR ANY MAIN FOOD GROUP MESSES YOUR BODY UP.. WELL IT DID ME!! ITS ALL ABOUT EATING NATURAL HEALTHY CARBS ASWELL AS OTHER FOODS GROUPS... WHEN I CUT UP CARBS I COULD NEVER FUNCTION PROPERLY MENTALY ALWAYS FELT DRAINED!! IM THE SLIMMEST/HEALTHY IVE BEEN THROUGH BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS SAYING... AVOID THE BAD CARBS AND EAT THE GOOD ONES :) X

never and need to eat breads pasta starches you can get all the carbs you need from veggies have been doing it for a couple of years when i started my waist was 40 my bmi was over 40 my cholesterol was 280 and the ratio was over 5 now i my weight is 170 my waist is 32 my cholesterol is 170 and the ratio is 3.2 even the wrinkles in my old face have diminished lol and i feel alive again oh and for those that think dieting is about calories i eat like a pig i have never counted but i would not surprise me if i do not consume 3000 to 5000 calories a day if they are calories your body is designed to use it will good luck and pig out

One of the leading causes of death in America is obesity and it's plain to see that the average American diet is mainly composed of carbs(sugar, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and fried batter products). How can people who consume more carbs be leaner than those who consume less? That makes no sense.

What utter crap. Eat plenty of fat (Real fat, not margarine/vegatable oil), a little protein, and ditch carbs/processed food/grains/legumes.

Easy.

Is there an American Carbohydrate Council somewhere that funds all the stories upholding the virtues of carbs in a grossly overweight nation? When one reads the articles you inevitably find out that the "good carbs" the authors plug, and which they accuse diet book authors of libeling, are exactly the ones that are in fact allowed on no- or low-carb diets. The authors usefully -- for the lousy-food industry, that is -- merely lump these in with the garbage carbohydrates Americans eat way too much of.

Very poorly done article, and I notice that not only did it not give examples of foods with right type of carbs, it doesn't list the author's name. I have lost 13 pounds on Atkins in the induction phase in less than two weeks. And it isn't mainly fiber that makes you feel full. Fat in meat makes you feel full. Read "Why We Get Fat, And What You Can Do About It" if you want genuine documentation on the whole carbohydrate debate.

Obesity, diabetes and heart disease are soaring because people eat too many carbs. Low fat and high carbs are to blame! Look around, it's common sense. Flour and sugar kill!

I can't beleive that you actually have done an article that is essentially ass backwards and detrimental to the health of thousands of people.
It is so backwards it is laughable..this is definitely bunk and junk not even close to science..someone has shares in Monsanto.
I do not dispute "some" carbs are beneficial..
there is no such term as "resistant" starch .

I think this entire article is an April Fools Joke.

please what about late eating

You are delusional.

just finding out i have type 2 diabetes, i was hoping to find out more about good carbs and bad carbs. this article is the WORST i have ever read. reading and reading and not any info. please tell this person who wrote this article to go back to school and take a class in writing.

Potentially lethal hogwash. (Notice the author of the article was not revealed.)

Dietary data needs to be broken into two broad classifications: a) normal and b) insulin-resistant. Insuln-resistant people do not process carbohydrates the way others do. The insulin-resistant group has been growing, as evidenced by the increasing incidence of Type 2 diabetes. People whose bodies cannot process simple carbohydrates can't be lumped in with the general population. If the trend continues, they will be the norm, and the food processors will have to adjust. Weight Watchers is already responding, offering a line of meals with low glycemic index ratings.

will u give more detailes about the type & amount & the best food to mix with to loose wt?

OK So I'm All Confused now. Carbs Or No Carbs?

YOU CAN ENJOY CARBS (LIKE BREAD, COOKIES, POTATOES OR BANANA) BUT DON'T THINK YOU'LL LOOSE WEIGHT, AND IF IT'S TOO MUCH OR IN WRONG TIME OR COMBINATION YOU'LL EVEN PUT SOME WEIGHT ON. NO MATTER WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS, IT'S DECEIVING THEORY

What NONSENSE!! Sooo much misinformation!! This is apparently a fluff piece mostly written by cutting and pasting. Look at the glycemic indexes of the so called "good carbs" like brown rice, oatmeal or whole wheat bread and you will see that they are very high. This means that they are all converted into sugar sugar sugar in the body, spiking insulin and starting the cycle of fat accumulation, and more cravings. The govt recommendation of eating at least 300 gms of carbs a day translates to about a cup and a half of sugar.

very hallow suggestions.....
