CARBS - GOOD OR BAD

anmetz Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/03/02	2005/03/08, 11:20 AM I have read so many articles on thiw website that says I should eat carbs. But I have also found under the instruction of FT.com that it says to reduce my carbs and caloric intake, but increase my protein. Can someone please explain, and if possible please provide a list of what is known as "Good Carbs", so that I am not eating things that are going to reverse the effect of my work out routine. -Tony

Fruits are ok, just don't O.D. on them. As they said, great posts and threads on this here at FT! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

They are very much a neccessity when trying to build strength and mass but if you are trying to cut try to keep them to a low and try to eat on whole wheat carbs as vedakathryn said. Brown rice is a also a good form or carbs if im not mistaken.
