why do people think that carbohydrates are bad for you... you need more carbs than protein... it is should be a ratio of 70/30... at least 70% carbs, and a high of 30% protein... but both are very important.... carbs are good for you, you need them... more of them than protein, but a right balance (70/30) is important... but dont cut out carbs

Its just a fad thing its the new "in diet" and i dont want to insult anyone who is on the atkins but i read at webmd.com that any diet that A) promises results fast or B)cuts out food groups is a fad diet. Atkins doesnt cut carbs completely so thats good, but when it comes to carbs being bad i guess its just a misunderstanding. What i have learned is eat a little of everything just in small portions. It works for me Good luck! -Mandi-
