both medical studies done, both can be found on the internet. One refuting the other. And then you get M.D.'s to come along on Yahoo Answers and proudly condescendingly make their opinion as "fact" about this subject. What is it?

I'll illustrate this answer with an example I have been following for years now :
1.During my muscle building (bulking up) phase i take my required calories in the following ratio of Protein/Carbs/fat as 50/30/20.
2.In the precompetition stage (ripped stage) the ratio of P/C/F changes to 60/20/10 and in the final stages it is 80/20/0.
As you can see carbs stay on to provide the energy and prevent muscle breakdown.
Best wishes.

carbs are made into sugars to be used very quickly as energy for your body (unlike for example protiens, which take a long time to 'burn' up). This is great for an athlete before agame because they will have a lot of available energy at once to get them through the rigorous physical activity. But if you lunch on a lot of carbs and then sit around your body has to produce more insulin to force the sugar into your cells, where it is stored as fat. White, processed carbs are worst. High fiber, complex whole grain type carbs are best, as they take more energy to process and do not leave as much excess to store as fat.

Anything can cause fat that is consumed in excess. Whether it be fat, protein, carbs whatever. But the body needs balanced amounts of them all. Overloading on one is not healthy.
I personally like the Blood Type Diet plan. ( A lifestyle, not a weight loss plan) You can check it out in the book, Eat Right 4 Your Type., or go to the website of the same name. The basis here is that not all people are the same and the same nutritional plan should not be equal for everyone.

Too many carbs cause fat. But to be specific COmplex carbs take longer to digest. THose are the "good" carbs--as oppossed to "Refined Carbs" that causes added sugar.

It's said that when combining Protean and Carbohydrates, the Protean is used and the Carb's stored as fat, yes, they say food combining is the answer, Well, I've lost one and a half stones, so it does work!

Eating excess carbs raises blood sugar which is converted to fat which is stored in the body. Period. End of Story.

There are good carbs and bad carbs. The good ones will not cause fat. Good ones are like beans, oatmeal, and whole grains. Eat good carbs and they will help you.

anything in excess of your energy used can be stored as fat, even if you only eat veggies. some things are more easily converted to fat, but if you eat more calories than you expend, no matter what you eat, you'll get fat.
