[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 68548940, member: 123415"] That's not surprising... Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates (starch & sugar) are main culprit behind weight gain, and difficulty losing weight. (even tho many people falsely give fat a bad rep as the culprit) The faulty food pyramid is partially to blame for that, congressmen (not scientist) developed that nutritional guideline and it called for 300g of carbs per day. More sophisticated research has shown us that for a sedentary adult, 100-150g is sufficient. And when you look at it in that perspective, taking in 40g of that in a single beverage is absurd. At one point, I was on the overweight side. At 6 foot tall, I was encroaching on the 230lbs mark. I tried out a variation of the paleo diet that Dr. Eades advocates. Essentially, keeping carbs below 50g for 3 days straight, then on day 4, take them up to around 100, then repeat the cycle. While doing this, keep fat & protein intake high. I was eating piles of bacon & eggs, burgers (minus the bun), steaks, chicken, etc... and supplementing with protein shakes between meals. Essentially, all the things the 'experts' tell you will kill you. In less than a year's time, I had dropped ~50lbs, and all of my numbers improved. Here is the actual chart from my Cleveland Clinic Health Record account. (my personal info redacted of course ;)) [ATTACH=full]162774[/ATTACH] So, now when people ask how I lost it, I'm a bit of a low-carb evangelist :), and when people tell me they're trying to lose weight by eating less meat and more fruits and grains, I chuckle. Although, for the last 9 months, I've been on a pretty serious exercise program (4 days lifting, 2 days cardio), so I don't have to watch what I eat as much. [/QUOTE]
