    Carbs aren’t evil but if you don’t want to be overweight you have to eat carbs in moderation. It’s not that hard gang.

      I like to go to the bakery down the street and buy a loaf, then just eat the whole thing while it’s still fresh. I’m a scrawny little spitfuck.

        Obviously metabolisms can affect things. Also anecdotal evidence on a platform where you post anonymously is less than worthless. It holds about as much weight as me telling you that when I switch to low carb while keeping my portion sizes the same I lose weight.

          You said “if you don’t want to be overweight, you have to eat carbs in moderation.” I am not doing that, and am not overweight.

          If you’re going to word something as absolute, on the internet, you better be prepared for exceptions in reply.

      What a load of bullshit. Tell that to the Italians, where they eat ridiculous amounts of pasta, pizza and baked goods a and have the lowest obesity rates in Europe.

      Food quality + more walking + meat in moderation.

        Lol how is food quality, moderation with meat portioning, and exercise not calories in vs calories out? Guaranteed Italian portions are lighter and their food has less calories per meal.

          Who said anything about calories? Of course it’s about calories. You said carbs are reason people get fat.

          Can you differentiate between “carbohydrates” and “calories”?

          So you’re either saying that “food makes you fat”, which is a real genius moment, or that “carbohydrates make you fat” which is simply false.

            I thought you were replying to my other response, which simply stated that weight loss is mostly calories in vs calories out. High carb foods tend to have more calories. That’s all I’m saying here. You can eat carbs in moderation and live a healthy lifestyle and still lose weight. Like Jesus man, calm the fuck down hahaha

            You’re putting an insane amount of words in my mouth here.

              My dude, that’s not what you said in the top comment.

              You’re perpetuating a bullshit myth about carbs making you fat, which is pure nonsense.

              Now, when you’re called out, you’re adding all these asterisks.

      Isn’t Low Carb debunked? As long as you eat halfway clean and at a deficit, you lose weight. And you don’t gain weight by eating a lot of carbs, as long as you don’t have a caloric surplus.

        Weight loss is literally calories in vs calories out. That’s it. Carbs generally have way more calories than foods without carbs. Low carb definitely works for weight loss, so I don’t know if I’d call that debunked.

        It’s really simple. But these fad diet cultures we get sucked into have made us all crazy it feels like.

          Any restrictive diet can lead to weight loss, because you’re not allowed to eat the stuff you wanna eat, so you don’t eat as much.

          If there’s nothing special about carbs (and I don’t think there is…) that’s what I’d call “debunked.”

            High carb foods have more calories than low carb ones by a wide margin. Which is why it works. And if it works, it is not debunked.

              Fat has more than double the calorie density, I’m not sure what you mean by “high carb food have more calories”.

                Well you shouldn’t go heavy on high fat foods either. Where did I say that you should?

        and at a deficit, you

        Well that’s the thing, carbs are just very calorie dense so eating cards makes it harder to eat at a deficit.

        Isn’t Low Carb debunked?

        What does this even mean? Nobody that I know of has ever asserted that low carb diets are the only way to lose weight. Low carb diets tend to reduce appetite which helps in achieving a calorie deficit, that’s all .

      You got it all wrong, you just have to work out a lot and then eat all the carbs you want

        Hell yeah! This also works! It’s what I generally have to do to lose weight because I fucking love high calorie high carb foods. I also love jogging though so it evens out.
