did keto for 3 weeks and lost 12 pounds, and went down a belt loop. Did no cardio but lots of lifting. I'm already pretty fit but was putting on fat so decided to try this and it worked

carbs are starches that help you have energy and feel full.

what you and i think many people that are exercising and dieting a lot, are afraid of, is the negative effects of gluten or enriched carbs.

flour products like bread or pastas can make you look fat or shitty when not a part of a balanced diet and even when you run a calorie defecit.

but remember, there are places on earth and a time in europe, america, etc. that bread and pasta is the stable. rice, potatoes, and starches from plants are the cornerstone to the starving man's diet. and he can grow to great size if supplemented with manual labor, milk, vegetables, and some meats. this is the way life has been. and it only has changed in the 20th century because of our enriched gluten products and sedentary lifestyles.

rice, potatoes, fruits, are good carbs.

glutens, like pasta and bread are probably not best before bed. usually, i eat cookies and whatnot before the gym.

Carbs are necessary to feel full; they lower the hunger hormone ghrelin which helps you feel satisfied after a meal; as well as increase leptin which helps you feel satisfied also.

Complex carbs are fine; just gotta stay away from the simple processed carbs like white bread or white rice. I avoid sugar like the plague.
