Carbs aren’t evil but if you don’t want to be overweight you have to eat carbs in moderation. It’s not that hard gang.

Isn't Low Carb debunked? As long as you eat halfway clean and at a deficit, you lose weight. And you don't gain weight by eating a lot of carbs, as long as you don't have a caloric surplus.

Weight loss is literally calories in vs calories out. That’s it. Carbs generally have way more calories than foods without carbs. Low carb definitely works for weight loss, so I don’t know if I’d call that debunked.

It’s really simple. But these fad diet cultures we get sucked into have made us all crazy it feels like.

What does this even mean? Nobody that I know of has ever asserted that low carb diets are the only way to lose weight. Low carb diets tend to reduce appetite which helps in achieving a calorie deficit, that's all .

and at a deficit, you

Well that's the thing, carbs are just very calorie dense so eating cards makes it harder to eat at a deficit.

Actually fat makes you fat and carbs make you crab

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The incessant lurch of time makes us crab and there's nothing we can do about it

Exactly. Might as well indulge in feasting on Jesus's body.

That sounds like something a carapaced bottom-dwelling aquatic scavenger would say...

No, carapaced bottom-dwelling aquatic scavenger was my father.

You got it all wrong, you just have to work out a lot and then eat all the carbs you want
