[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]

You lose weight quickly when you cut carbs for a number of reasons.

1. when you reduce carbs you drop water weight because you deplete glycogen stores. This is why you weigh less almost immediately if you have  a day or two where you greatly reduce carbs and why you weigh more the minute you eat more carbs.

2. you have cut out an entire food group. which leads to reduction of calories. which leads to fat loss. If you cut out those carbs calories but replaces them with other calories you would still maybe lose some initial water weight, but would eventually stop losing fat if calories are still high.

Carbs are not bad. Stop believing the diet industry BS. [/quote]
