Does a High Carb Diet Make You Fat, Hungry, and Lazy?

The answer may surprise you, but the science says no! The truth is that people can be healthy and lean eating a huge variety of diets. This should tell you that the answer to better health and fat loss isn’t found in cutting one specific macronutrient from your diet, like many low-carb gurus would have you believe. So then why has the Paleo diet gotten so much attention lately? Surely some of the claims about carbs, sugar, and insulin must be true, right?

Does being a “Fat Burner” Give you Incredible Energy and Melt Off Bodyfat?

Low-carbers would have you believe that all of our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate low-carb diets and that being a “fat burner” (instead of a “sugar burner”) leads to all sorts of magical effects like, boundless energy, superhuman athletic performance, better health--all while it melts off your bodyfat almost overnight. Yet, there’s simply no evidence that low-carb diets were standard fare for our hunter-gatherer ancestors--there are countless tribes who ate huge amounts of carbohydrates and were perfectly lean and healthy. The studies are clear that in general, athletes on low-carb diets perform worse, not better. And there is a huge difference between being a “fat burner” and actually burning off your bodyfat. (They aren’t the same thing, so don’t get confused and be scammed out of your money by falling for this gimmick!). In reality, the science shows all of these claims around being a “fat burner” to be nothing more than a bunch of pseudoscientific myths.

Are You Afraid of Fat?
Or are you a fat-worshipper? Should we eat less fat to protect our hearts? Should we eat a ketogenic diet (or become “fat-adapted”)? Is the Weston A. Price foundation right when it says saturated fat is healthy? Should we take fish oil, the most popular supplement in North America, or is it a deadly poison? Polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated, hydrogenated—what’s the deal with all these fats? Which ones should we eat, and which ones should we give up?

Has Our Fear of Fat Been Misplaced?
Welcome to the fat wars. For the past sixty years, we’ve been embroiled in a nutrition battle that doesn’t seem close to ending.

Things have changed a bit in recent years with the paleo diet gaining momentum, but we still have diehards who think fat-free is the way to be. So who’s right? Who’s wrong? What should you put on your plate? What’s the truth about fat? And, for the love of god, what should you be eating?
