I heard some diet people saying to not eat carrots because of there high sugar content. Thats retarded I think. Its a good sugar though isnt it? Also is there alot of fiber in them? They fill me up pretty good so Im trying to eat more of them but I want to make sure there a good weight loss food.

If you have to be on a special diet because of a medical condition, then you might want to be careful with carrots.
But otherwise, carrots are good for you. Certainly better than that stuff that masquerades as 'diet soda'!

They are good for you, but if you're trying to do a low-carb diet then they won't work for you - too much sugar. You're right, it's the good sugar and there is some fiber... Plus they're good for your eyesight. As long as you eat them with a balanced diet you should be fine.

it has to be the good-for-you sugar; otherwise people would eat carrots like they do cookies.
i eat at least 2x the serving size in one sitting, and i've never gotten fat off of them.
they contain a lot of fiber. apples & broccoli do too.
some diet people don't consider overall nutrition. that's where the fad diet came from. remember the atkins diet? where they suggest steak despite the heart health risks?

Yes it's a good weight loss food and it's good for you. Also celery. Carrots have vitamin A and helps prevent night blindness.

They are a good weight lose food, but don't abandon the greens and fruit, to maintain a balanced diet.

Carrots are great. If you eat too many they will turn some of your skin orange though...not kidding.
