BTW, in regards to Mlevacs point about insulin resistance..

I am the shining example of it.. during my years as a bodybuilder starting in the 80's, I took in over 400 grams of carbs a day..brown rice, whole wheat pasta,granola,yams, baked potatoes..blah, blah.

I bulked up alot...I was pretty fat. I looked buff in clothes, but when the shirt came off...oooh boy.

I was always telling my peers I was going through a bulking phase. And I always felt stuffed, bloated and miserable, but I had to keep slamming those carbs!

Well now that I am 40+, I now have insulin resistance..the constant bathing of my cells with insulin has shut down my insuin sensitivity ..I took a glucose tolerant test and it took 78 units of insulin to lower the 100 grams of dextrose that I drank..

So my pancreas is just pumping out the insulin to try and lower that blood sugar..poor guy.

If it would've stayed high..type-2 diabetes

All I can say, is keep those carbs to a limit, if you take them in at all.
