Carbs are simply a more efficient fuel when it comes to providing energy. A high carb diet is important when you have an active lifestyle (eg: marathon) to support the energy requirement. However, when there arent used up due to sedentary lifestyle , there are easily stored as saturated fats on almost every parts of your body. This is why Atkin diet is so successful when it comes to short term weight loss. The diet may or may not be healthy for long term but it has proven one critical point. Excessive carbs (esp concentrated/refined forms - There are fast ) are to be blamed for most of the obesity related illness of the modern world. Furthermore, are you likely to eat a big plate of pasta or fats ?
