Read the books "Why we get fat, and what to do about it" by Gary Taubes and "Wheatbelly" by William Davis. Check they out at your library or check the reviews on Amazon first if you want to get an idea of of what they are saying... basically carbs are bad, fat and protein are good. For athletes, you will still need carbs, but you could probably stand to cut way back and snack on things like cheese, nuts, jerky, etc.


TERRIBLE advice and TERRIBLE books. Do not even glance at either one, they are complete fad BS.

And it is hilarious that fat/protein = good, but then you say cut back on cheese and nuts. What the hell do you think those two foods are chock full of?[/quote]

Sorry it wasn't clear... late night half-asleep posting does that. I wrote that you could probably stand to cut way back (ON CARBS), and snack INSTEAD on things like cheese, nuts, jerky, etc.

What's BS in those books? I see some of the Wheatbelly stuff as speculation and stretching things, maybe a lot. However, the general idea that carbs is what makes people fat and low glycemic index foods = good is the main thing I got from those books.
