Can anyone tell me scientifically how carbohydrates make you fat?

Question

I've seen a lot of people suggesting to cut out carbs in your diet for weight loss...WHY??? How does carbohydrates make you fat?

Answer 1

all foods from candy to steak eventually are broken down by the body into simple sugars, it is what our cells run on. Carbs break down very quickly, faster than say protiens or fats or complex carbs. When they do, they promote the productin of insulin and then are used by the cells, so, when the other foods break down enough to be used, there is little insulin left for metabolism and the remaining sugars are then converted to fat and stored. In other words, simple carbs are used first and everything else gets stored. So, if you minimize simple carbs, the stuff that breaks down more slowly is used for metabolism and not stored as fat.

Answer 2

carbs -- > sugar -- > fat
no carbs -- > no fat. thats why alot of carb-free diets work, but they also make some people sick.

Answer 3

carbs turn to sugar in your body which turns to fat
