-Why oh why must people keep saying this. For example i'll end up talking nutrition with someone in real life.

They will say "the carbs you dont burn off turn to FAT"

why must people have this mindset that carbs in specific have some special ability to turn to fat...

carbs are food,as a matter of fact they are the primary source of energy for humans. Food in general can be converted to fat when extra is consumed. whether its protein, dietary fat or sugars...

-Another thing, people like to say carbs cause alot insulin to be released causing fat storage. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the body storing part of your meal as body fat. The body constantly stores and burns fat throughout the day... The only reason someone should should be extra careful with carbs is if their body has blood sugar control issue such as diabetes.

If the body didnt store any fat when digesting your meal it wouldnt have any good fuel reserves for when your tummy is empty....




-Now i dont see a problem with average joes believing nutrition myths. But the people i hear saying this stuff usually claim to know about nutrition and are attempting to teach these myths to other people, lol.
