Re: Different ways of eating

[Guest guest]

I never said that you had to eat grains to get your carbs. Just that your

body needs them... And each body is different, so you may be able to get by

with less carbs than others. 60 carbs per day is very close to the 75 g

that My nutritionalist and brother in law recommend. I recommend getting

your nutrients from as many veggies as you can. Doesn't always have to have

" fruit " either. Though the fiber in apples cant be beat! You are very

right to say that all fruits and veggies have carbs, because they do. And

most of them are full of " good " carbs and good for you things like

antioxidants. Things that are said to prevent types of cancer...

It isn't just pasta, grains, and potatoes that give carbs...

WHOOOO on your weight loss too!

I just notice how many people leave fruits and veggies out of the carb

category. When I realized that they do belong there, that 60% thing made

a bit more sense.

Am I the only one who thinks it's unfair that fat's got 9 calories per

gram, and proteins and carbs only have 4?! If they all had 4 - I prolly

get about 33% each. Maybe. I'd have to do the math. LOL.
