Carbs in Veggies vs Snack Carbs
« on: July 05, 2010, 10:28:12 AM »
Hello everyone ! Im brandnew to the FTS forum so please excuse me if some questions seem to be irrelevent or "common sense". Ive lost 14 pounds in about 3 weeks and really stoked about this change in my life. I used to workout 5 days a week but results were minimul. After reading this book I now know why I couldnt see the "fruits of my labor". I was working out fairly hard and then eating all the foods I thought was "healthy" because the different mags,cook books,weightlifting books... said they were. Boy was I wrong.  Im really excited because I lost the weight without lifting a single weight. I could just imagine what my numbers will look like when I start working out again. Thanks FTS. I do have a question maybe someone can help me with. Does the carbs in veggies metabolize the same as the carbs in sugarfree snacks that are in the book? And what veggies can I eat an unlimited amount of if thats possible?

yup carbs are carbs.....fruits,veggies,grains....doesnt matter where they come from..... 4 grams of carbs = a teaspoon of sugar any way you slice it..... the less carbs you intake the better your results will be,add in your exercise and vroooooom off the the races:) WELCOME TO GOOD HEALTH :D
