[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the higher carb days.  This is obvious.  Someone your age and weight doesn’t need higher carb days.  [/quote]

The correct answer.[/quote]

This is so obviously a dumb statement. In what way physiologically do you think carbs become unnecessary as you age? And regardless, they are absolutely critical for weight straining and muscle gains.

So can we please stop already with this uninformed carb nonsense. [/quote]

DP: When I reduce carbs I drop weight very quickly. But the carbs I'm reducing are related to pasta, rice, bread, crackers.  I still eat legumes, vegetables and fruit. [/quote]

[b]You're not reducing carbs. You are reducing high calorie, non-nutrient dense foods[b].[/quote]

.....AKA carbs

[/quote]

But it isn't carbs...it is empty calories. I eat a shitton of whole grain carbs a day...just within a calorie range. Carbs are not the enemy; empty, non-nutritious calories are. Even then, white bread and pasta can be a part of a weight loss and maintenance plan.[/quote]

Exactly. This same group of people will say something dumb like "I drink gin and tonic because of the carb content." Or they will eat half a loaf of bread in a sitting and wonder why they have a problem.[/quote]
