In reply to Theador. If you're in a deficit, they will not make you fat, simply not possible.

In reply to Keith. Of course Carbs turn into fat. Your body turns into glucose which your body with either burn or turn into glycogen (which would be stored in muscle). If you eat more valorise from CARBS that your body can use it will be stored in fat cells.

You don’t want to look good? Huh?

Carbs don’t turn into fat, that’s a myth.

If you want to feel “good” in terms of energy, then try to limit the amount of processed foods you eat. Stick with foods like meats, fruits, and veggies.

Hello,
What advice would you give a beginner like me. I kinda get what you are saying but at the same time I’m well lost … I don’t want to get thin or look good , I want to feel good inside. Tone all this baby weight etc. Im bad for not eating but then binge eat. I feel so yuk inside. I’m not a good one for eating and anything I do eat like sugars , carbs turns into fat because of my pcos so for someone like me that feels everytime I eat i feel fat, what sort of food or even better just some sort of smoothie drink I can consume. Thanks heaps.

In reply to Jason.

Yup, everyone needs a diet “angle.” Paleo is basically just the next generation of low carb.

Hope you’re doing well, jason.

You’re right on.

With books like wheat belly, paleo, and all the other garbage out there, people are looking for quick simple answers. They want to. And have been lead to believe one food or one food group is the problem.

Counting macros and calories sucks. So it’s easier to say it’s sugar, gluten or some other scape goat.

Good job. Nice to see you spreading some good info to combat the trash.

Hi,

you should definitely write some new celebrity-workouts. Jake gyllenhaals workout for southpaw would be awesome!

Cheers

In reply to John.

I see no “legit research.”

Great for you on getting results and whatnot but that doesn’t mean everyone should all of a sudden do a keto diet.

…”don’t go too low carb as it will affect gym performance.”

That’s certainly the prevailing bro-wisdom, and it’s true — for a while, measured in weeks. But not permanently, or so says some legit research.

My n=1 is that going from around 100g of carbs a day to a ketogenic diet (around 40g/day) meant 3-5 weeks of gym suckage, failing on singles at 90-95% of my 1RM and dragging ass through the conditioners. After that, strength came back (and started to head upward again) and metcons got *better*, pretty much the way Phinney and Volek said they would. It’s fun to wipe the gym floor with people half my age who haven’t figured out that ketones are rocket fuel.

I was once the proud possessor of a middle-aged gut. Abs are just now starting to appear, and LCHF gets the credit. I’m a mostly-sedentary 190 lb almost-50-year-old guy with a legit 440 lb squat, but I don’t pretend to be an expert on what anyone else should do. At my age, looking at my peers who are lean (and those who aren’t), I’d say that the truism is that any diet that lowers insulin and supplies adequate protein “works” for health and fitness.
