Session Summary:

There are good carbs and bad carbs, good fats and bad fats, and good proteins and bad proteins.

We are always seeking quality over quantity.

One of the most significant issues with weight loss and health restoration is what to do with carbs.

In this session, we give a little overview on the different types of carbohydrates and how many most people can consume and stay in a fat-burning mode.

Many people are consuming 300-600 gm. of carbohydrates every day and are on a certain path to diabetes.

If one follows the food pyramid suggested by the government they are probably consuming 150-300 gm/day.  DANGEROUS!

We believe that 25-50 gm can be beneficial to jump-start a weight loss program, but this should be done with some caution and perhaps supervision.

Mark Sisson, author of Primal Blueprint, suggests that the sweet spot for maintaining a fat-burning mode of burning about 1-2 pounds of fat per week to stay in the 50-100 gm/day.

100-150 gm would be appropriate for maintenance.
