[QUOTE="andcol, post: 666021, member: 96315"] Here is a simple explanation [USER=129651]@secundaw[/USER] When you eat carbohydrates and fats together your blood stream carries the fats around your body to deliver the fat to your fat cells for storage for later use. To do this it creates the triglycerides and you bad cholesterol goes up. If you go low carb your body doesnt store the fats in your fat cells (well not as much as it is burning the fat for energy instead of the carb) So your choice is low carb + higher levels of fats or low fat (and I mean low - minimum amounts for your body)+ higher levels of carbs. This latter choice will be hard as it will raise your blood glucose levels but isnt impossible if you choose your carbs carefully, but the Low Carb is a much easier to follow as a D [/QUOTE]
