[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 535670, member: 100904"] Indeed! How outdated is the advice to have a third of your diet as carbs? Ok, so they are the supposedly healthy carbs wholewheat pasta, bread, brown rice etc. and this has been revised from the advice I had 20 years ago of half my plate being filled with the healthy carbs, but still the science doesn't seem to fit. Carbs spike my blood sugars and make me gain weight. Hardly surprising that with an emphasis on 'academic' achievement over sport, and such diet advice from health professionals that we have an obesity and diabetes crisis going on. My dear departed mother was always astounded that young people went to the gym. Gyms were not necessary in her youth. Diet mainly veg and porridge, housework and manual labour kept folk lean and healthy. Pipp [/QUOTE]
