Very interesting discussion on carbs. I've tried very hard to cut simple carbs (bread, sugar, etc) and replace them with more complex carbs (berries, sprouted grains) after a bad gout attack.

I don't think it has made much of a different weight-wise, but anecdotally I have less "ups and down" during the day. Plus, having some before and after a workout seems to make me bonk less.

Out of curiosity, where do you (i.e. those who know a hell of a lot more than I do...) fall on the weight vs. fitness issue. I understand how critical weight loss is in obesity, or specific medical issues, but what about the "I'd really like to lose xx pounds"?

Is it even reasonable to think of this in the same context?

At 6'2 and 245 I'd like to fit into clothes a little better, maybe at 230 or so, but would rather be faster on the bike and on the ice. Am I taking the wrong approach?
