Clearing Up the Carb Confusion

Are you getting mixed messages about carbohydrates in your diet? University of Michigan Registered Dietitian Susan Ryskamp clears the air as she explains how high-quality carbohydrates — fruit, dairy products, starchy vegetables and beans — are essential for good health. She also discusses unhealthy carbs found in such foods as white rice, white bread and white pasta, which have been stripped of their fiber and nutrients.

Let's say we are in a caloric surplus for x calories but the x calories comes from carbs and we also have x calories from protein or fats, so you are saying the x calories from carbs make you more fat ? So if the x calories of fats don't make you as fat, where do the rest of the calories go ?

High-carb, low-protein, low-fat diets (ie with fruits, tubers, grains) sends FGF21 through the roof. An effective treatment for metabolic syndrome, gastric bypass, also relies on raising the same hormone.

One of the most enduring myths about carbohydrates is that they are “essential” in the diet. Even the most basic biochemistry book will tell you that dietary carbohydrate is not an essential macronutrient, unlike protein and fat.
As the Institute of Medicine (IOM) states year-after-year in their Dietary Reference Intake Manual: "The lower limit of dietary carbohydrate compatible with life apparently is zero, provided that adequate amounts of protein and fat are consumed."
The key point is that you do not need to consume carbohydrates because your body can synthesize all the glucose your body needs to carry out the biological process of growth and metabolism. The liver is able to perform this function in a process known as gluconeogenesis.

100 carbs a day..good enough stay active. .moderate meals. .with protein and red meat..some veggies

Carbs are NOT a healthy part of our nutrition, and this has been known since the late 1900's. I gave-up carbs, and became slimmer. Much real research. Who pays her?
