DO WE STILL NEED CARBS OR ARE THEY OUT OF STYLE?

[MIGHTY DOG]

What's the 411 on carbs. Starches and sugars, do we need them. Since there have been alot of reports that carbs can induce fat, and that people are getting fat on carb overdose. Do we still need carbs and is there a way to get the energy we need in out diets without carbs, say from health fats? What's everybody's take on this?

Basically you need carbs for energy.Thre are good carbs and bad cards.Compex carbs are good. When you are trying to lose weight you should limit them. Look into the glycemic index. You want foods low on the index (under 50).

Unless you'r dieting, who cares, as long as you hit your kcal and protein goals for the day?
