Simple carbs give you energy, but when you're consuming more carbs than what your body uses to function daily, where do the carbs go? It turns into fat and stays in your body.
Consuming high trans fat foods and large portion sizes are equally deadly contribuations to obesity. (Have you ever ordered a pasta from a place in the U.S.?)
If carbs are all good for you, how come the Atkin's diet is one of the most popular all these years? |
Carrying a little extra fat is not bad for you. Being obese or cutting out meals to remain thin is. Lifestyle mags are not the places to get info on healthy living.
Simple carbs provide energy and little to no nutrition. This is not necessarily good for you, but it's not bad for you either. You still need to burn energy to stay alive and move around. I suggest you cut out fat and sugar before worrying about carbs.
Atkins is for stupid and lazy ppl. Which athletes go on Atkin's? That's right: the fat ones on the couch who don't want to get in shape properly.
