[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to eliminate carbs to lose weight. I think a lot of the reason people lose weight on low-carb diets is because they're practicing portion control and not eating a bunch of empty carbs that they are not burning off with cardio. I'm a distance runner, so I'll never eliminate carbs, but I practice portion control (1 piece of bread at dinner, not 4, 1 serving of spaghetti, not 3) and I'm choosy about the carbs I eat - like whole grains vs. white starchy carbs. [/quote] Actually, the reason people lose weight on low-carb diets is because for those of us with busted insulin sensitivity, it makes for fewer peaks and valleys in our blood sugar and over time can revive some insulin sensitivity.
