uc I don't think you were harping.Given the epidemic carb addiction rampant in this country and resultant chronic health problems it is important to stress any carbs loaded up on need to be burned before more carbs are consumed in other words as I think you all are saying you need to eat for your activity level and cut carbs for low activity or quick weight loss.Timing of carbs is important as well particularly if you want to consume high glycemic simple carbs they should be limited to directly before during or after intense exercise.Of course since I tend to have a fast metabolism and high activity level I have to eat plenty of carbs to keep from losing weight and I find it difficult to keep my energy stores topped up even with an occasional buffet.Now you got me started lol.
