I'm with J on this. Carbs are evil. Pure and simple.
Homo sapiens as a species is not adapted to a carbohydrate diet. This point has been made here before by better men than me, I'm just repeating someone else's ideas but, yeah, fact is that H. sapiens did not eat much in the way of carbs until about 10,000 year ago - no time at all, in evolutionary terms - and the onset of grain agriculture is pretty contemporaneous with increases in obesity rates, various metabolic diseases, etc..
We're killer apes, boys. We're adapted to eat meat, roots, fruits, seedpods and stuff like that.
I think, though, that there may be a difference between different kinds of carbs and how they affect leanness and fat deposition. I can eat all the apples, fruit, and legumes I want, and they don't seem to affect me. It's grain-based stuff I avoid like the plague. Rice, pasta, bread - unh-unh!
