[Message] Posted: April 11, 2011 If carbohydrates make people fat, why aren't 100% of people who eat them fat? Wouldn't it affect everyone not just the people who eat too much and sit around doing nothing? Everyone processes sugar (carbs) in different ways. Some people can process a crap load of glucose in their blood stream without storing any fat. Other people might have a sensitive insulin reaction that causes them to store fat even when taking in fruit. I've been primal for 6 months now and the weight is slowly coming off. When I tell people about my diet they say "oh, it's low carbs" and I say "No, it's normal carbs". Humans weren't designed to take in 200-300g of carbs every day. The obesity epidemic seems to have started around the same time the government decided it knew what the best diet was. That diet consists of about 70% carbs. To quote Tom Naughton of the documentary "Fat Head": Being fat is not, in and of itself, bad for your health. The behaviors that can make you fat – eating excess sugar and starch, not getting any exercise – can also ruin your health, and that’s why being fat is associated with bad health. But it’s entirely possible to be fat and healthy. It’s also possible to be thin while developing Type II diabetes and heart disease. [Topic]
