Any food can make you fat, not just those foods high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, like protein, provide 4 calories per gram; fat provides 9 calories per gram. But complex carbohydrates (starches such as bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes), especially those derived from whole grains, are the body's best source of energy nourishment when they replace saturated fats and excess protein in the diet.

All carbohydrates are sugars. All carbohydrates go to glucose in the body and stimulate insulin production. Insulin is the hormone that causes fat to be stored in the body from all the carbohydrates that we have been taught to eat. The end result of eating carbohydrates is fat storage. Carbohydrates make you fat! Dietary fats and proteins do not go to fat in the body, because they don't generate an insulin response like carbohydrates.

Consuming carbohydrates will increase your blood sugar level, temporarily. This is a normal response to eating. An elevation in blood sugar will cause your pancreas to release more insulin into your blood stream. This, too, is normal. The insulin will help to bring blood sugar back into a normal range. By eating carbohydrates you will not become fat. I have educated my clients that their aerobic activity level will result in how much carbohydrate they may eat in a given day.

Whenever we digest carbohydrates our pancreas secretes the hormone known as insulin. The simpler the carb, the higher a burst of insulin our pancreas releases to deal with them. The good thing about insulin is that it actually drives nutrients into our muscles to assist them in recovery. If you take creatine with fast burning carbs, it will increase the absorption rate in your muscles. However, insulin is also responsible for fat storage.

Honestly, this depends on your body's specific biochemistry. Each of these eating plans works for certain people. My biggest suggestion is to eat only those things for which you can understand the words on an ingredients label. If you don't know or cannot even pronounce the components in the food, don't eat it. Organic fresh food is always your best choice. Eliminating enriched, bleached or unbleached breads, pasta and other flour sources is a huge start.

Carbohydrates are compounds made of single sugars or multiple sugars and composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Carbohydrate rich foods are obtained from plants, milk and milk products.

Yes, there are low levels of carbohydrates in beer, but only trace amounts of simple sugars, including maltose, in beer.(8, 9, 10, 11) Most light beers are low in carbohydrates. Bud Light, for example, contains 6.6 grams of carbs per serving.

Generally our meals contain 20% lean protein, 20% healthy fat and 60% favorable carbohydrates, but is dependent on your needs.

The NutriSystem Nourish meal plans provide approximately 55% of the calories from good, low-glycemic carbohydrates, 25% of the calories from protein, and 20% of the calories from fat. This January, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its sixth set of recommendations on eating?the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005.

One must have a diet that contains carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Amounts vary for each individual, based on age, activity, bone size and weight. Carbohydrates are necessary as they are the main source of energy. Protein is important for growth and repair of every cell. Fat is necessary to have in our diet because it helps us to feel full and stop eating.

While the body's reliance on carbohydrates increases during high-intensity activity, it's not that fat burning is in any way inhibited. It's just that the rate of increase in the amount of fat burned is slower than the rate of increase in the amount of carbohydrate used. So the percentages change, but the aerobic metabolism (fat burning) isn't really inhibited. Again, those minute-to-minute fluctuations are insignificant in the grand fat-loss scheme.

No. Often, poor diet and too little exercise are to blame. However, other health problems may cause weight gain and lethargy. If you notice these changes in your pet, you should discuss them with your Veterinarian.
