[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t believe people are eliminating fruits and vegetables due to carb content.  Avoiding white flour/low quality grain, refined sugars, sure.  But to not eat a carrot because of carbs is wacko[/quote]

Unless you have a pre-disposal to or have already developed insulin resistance.

I wonder if those who are saying they could only lose weight by vigorously scrubbing their diet of carbs are really below their natural weight. I am 5'2, 125lbs, and my labs are good. I got here by reducing my intake of simple carbs; when I was just eating all the carbs in front of my face, I weighed 140. But I could get smaller than 125 by cutting out even more carbs, and if I wanted to be 105 it would probably be accurate to say I could only get there by cutting out almost all carbs. [/quote]

No.  I was obese and it was the carb cutting that worked for me.  Might be different for other people.  Like the poster below, I don't understand why it's so hard for people to understand that different bodies might work in different ways.  [/quote]

PP here. I should have said "some of those saying they had to cut out basically all carbs," because you're right, all bodies truly are different. It's just that when somebody says they had to cut out carbs to lose weight, and others say they didn't, they might just have different weight goals rather than bodies that react differently to carbs.
