Are carbs bad for fat loss?

Question

I've read many diets, and I can't decide whether carbs are bad for fat loss or not (along with a intense cardio and weight training program). Is it?

Answer 1

to much carbs yes can be. but if yr doing intense cardio bring yr protein intake up and carbs at a reasonable level. try tips about this on this site

Answer 2

If you cut your carbo intake to around 30 grams per day, you will definitely lose weight..but, be sure to eat lots of protein.... your body functions best on proteins.

Answer 3

carbs are not bad for weight loss despite all of the current hype; it's the kinds of carbs that make the difference. you should be opting for high fiber, whole wheat, whole grain carbs like wheat breads, pastas, rices, rolls, cereals, oatmeals, crackers, popcorn, potatoes, and high fiber, brightly colored, fruits, berries, and vegies. our bodies need foods from all four food groups. many say stay away from potatoes, but potatoes, themselves, are not fattening. it's what people put on top of them that add all of the calories. potatoes are high in both insoluable and soluable fibers and are loaded with potasium and other nutrients. try adding a boiled potato to a salad or munch on one with a little bit of olive oil and pepper and salt. stay away from overly processed carbs such as white bread, rolls, tortillas, cakes, cookies, and cereals. they can cause your blood sugar to rise and offer no nutritional value. choose real food that is high in fiber. eat as naturally as you can. the fiber will help keep you full. make sure to drink plenty of water and green tea. since you are trying to lose weight, start with 30 minutes of exercise a day and increase every month until you reach an hour 5 days a week. as for weight training and resistance training, it's important to build muscle as it tones your body and revs your metabolism. eat 3 moderate meals a day and 3 snacks a day. you should be eating around 1500-1700 calories to lose weight and 2000-2200 calories to maintain weight. remember to eat from all food choices and vary your diet. you can substitute pure fruit juice for fruit, but drink only 1/4 of a cup. and eat lean proteins such as fish, chicken, ham, turkey, beans, peanut butter, and nuts. good luck
