Hiii =]] ok, im going on a new DIET that called for NO CARBS.. can you make a list of carbs for me??<3.?

this is my reasoning: the body burns carbs first, and then fat,so… i decided to eliminate carbs so fat starts to burn. I don’t care about what you think so don’t try to tell me this is dangerous or bla bla bla =]]
anyway, would good carbs count in this situation? like say whole wheats.. are those burned first too? And can you make a list of all the foods i should avoid that are carbs?? THANKYOU SO MUCH =]]].
i do ten points best answerrr =]

Well… No carbohydrates at all? Here’s the thing, It’s true that the body will turn to carbohydrates first but, in the absence of carbohydrates the body will turn to protein. Proteins can be broken down by the body, sent to the liver, and turned into glycogen (Glucose produced by the body) by a process call Glyconeogenesis. If you’re diabetic (especially type 1 diabetes) then you should not cut carbohydrates out completely - it could lead to ketoacidosis (Very, very bad). Now, assuming you are in good health going with carbohydrates completely won’t hurt you - if you’re not on the diet a long time. After about two days of being without carbohydrates you’re body will enter an altered state of digestive metabolism called ketosis. This simply means that, realizing that carbohydrates are not on their way, the body has decided to conserve protein and utilize fat stores (What you’re aiming to do with this diet). You’re body with send out hormones to cause you to release some fat into the bloodstream (these fats are called ketones). They can be used as an alternate source of energy for the body, not the brain! Not to worry, though… your body make a minimal amount of glucose and send it to the brain to keep it going. Whole grains, etc are complex carbohydrates (They are long strings of simple carbohydrates ‘glued’ together) - These take a considerably longer time for the body to break down than does sugar, white bread, white rice, etc. It stabalizes your blood Glucose levels - causing your body to release insulin (a hormone which works to help store fat) less requently. As long as you can keep your carb intake lower than 30g of carbs you’ll get the same effects as a no carb diet (Just make them complex carbs). You can find out how many carbs are in something by looking at the nutrition panel on the packaging. Hope I helped

  1. No carbs, means No carbs…
    No potatoes of any kind
    No carrots
    No breads
    No skim milk…Just whole milk in small moderation’s
    No juices
    No soda unless it is diet rite or if it is some other diet soda you must add 1 carb.
    No sweetend iced tea unless it is splenda

    Good Luck…I lost a lot of weight very fast, but the second you drink a regular soda or eat a french fry you will gain every bit of it back…

  2. good carbs shouldn’t count because your body needs carbs to survive.

    Bad carbs:
    chips
    white bread
    white rice
    anything with white flour or refined sugar

    I think it’s a bad idea (even if you don’t care about my opinion) instead of cutting out all carbs, just cut back and always substitute for the whole wheat or brown versions of carbs.

  3. Just to let you know, you’ve got it all wrong. You need carbs in order to stay alive. You need it for energy and to move. Well, whatever good luck with that. Carbs are in almost everything you eat including vegetables. There’s the bad carb and the good carbs. If you’re going to eliminate carbs, then you can say good-bye to a whole lot of food.
