Let's clear it up once and for all Are carbs good or bad?

>>36569388
both,

just like every fucking thing in the world

Good or bad for what? fuck this thread op

It's SUGAR, specifically, that's bad.

Fruit contains an "acceptable" amount of it. But candy, soda, etc contains so much that you will become literally addicted to it, crave more, eat more, and so on until you become fat. And as with any addiction, your mind will invent all sorts of justifications for your behavior (e.g. HAES, muh genetics, etc.)

It's like this: Carbs are good if your burning them off during you day to day physical activity. If not they are going to turn to fat.

not every human is the same

person x will get bad effects from a certain food but person y wont
some foods also digest better for u and for someone else it doesn't

u have to try everything to know

I see alot of people just linking studies and other shit but what they don't understand is that not everything will work for ur body, a study can say that x diet is the best for losing weight but for u it might be the worst diet to lose weight.

thats why u can't say x diet is a meme just bcus it didn't work for u but it might be the perfect diet for the person using it

>it's sugar that's bad

So carbs are bad?

>>36569758
no, retard, sugar is only one specific kind of carb. And there's no correlation between the portion of your diet that comes from natural fructose and weight gain.

>>36569758

There are three sub-categories of carbs. The nutrition labels on most things should break it down for you:

1. Fiber. Your body won't burn/store this. Eat as much as you want.
2. Sugar. This is the bad stuff. Avoid.
3. Everything else. These are okay unless you're specifically doing a keto diet. If you're not doing keto, then IIFYM applies.

you have to be mentally handicapped to avoid carbs

Sugar isn't only one specific kind of sugar you retard.

Fructose is sugar.
Glucose is sugar.
Galactose is a sugar.
Maltose is a sugar.
Lactose is a sugar.

The other two groups that aren't directly sugars are
Starch (which is composed of sugars - glucose) and Cellulose (made of sugars - glucose).

>>36569859
Sugar isn't only specific kind of carb*

>>36569841

It's like reading a label for fat content. "saturated fat" is bad, "unsaturated fat" is good. You could think of sugar as the "saturated fat" of the carb world.

>>36569884

I'd like to see you find a carb that isn't composed of sugars.

>Not eating (complex and minimally processed) carbs
>Making it
Pick one

You're all tards, there are only 2 kinds: simple (sugar) and complex (rice, etc)

Simple is bad if your metabolism is slow. Complex is very good, especially green vegetables, they even help to absorb protein into muscle (slow digesting and your body would rather use carbs for energy, than protein, so protein gets stored in muscle to be used later for rebuilding tissues rather than energy)

There's multiple types of carbs mate. They're all made of sugars.

Fun fact, carbs did 9/11.

>Fruit contains an "acceptable" amount of it.

The amount doesn't matter, the package does. Whether you eat 20g or 200g of sugar from fruit, there's no harmful effects.

>cyclical keto
Go into detail, plz

>>36571050
cyclical = cycles
keto = ketosis

cycle ketosis, 2-3 weeks keto, 2 week break, another 2-3 weeks keto. just an example, but you can do whateve the FUCK you wanna do

You need carbs for endurance

Cutting carbs gets rid of water weight, which is practically useful in several contexts

OP, let me put it like this. If I want to eat a tray of brownies, I fully realize the pain and suffering that I'll have to endure for that decision. And that's the trick. Balance. If you decide to indulge, you must also decide to suffer. And you cannot waver on that. I just did 16 kilometers and I can't feel my fucking legs. But it feels good.

ITT: Yes, no, maybe, carbs + memes = i think im funny.

summary: all sugars are carbs, not all carbs are sugar, all carbs are memes
