I love your posts, Escapee. It is like you speak your own language -- maybe we should call it "Escapish." I would like to introduce you to two tools called spell check and grammar check -- it would help others to understand your messages.
I'm guessing what you were asking for me to do is look closer at that message of yours I quoted:

When it comes to carb ( especially starch based )
It's either you burn it or wear it.

I don't see "refined" here (even with my "glass" on), and it doesn't say exclusively starch based it says "especially." This means other carbs always put on weight too. Well, as I said before, this is unfounded and not true, other than to the extent that extra calories in general will put on weight regardless of which macronutrient it is (e.g. carbs, fat or protein).
The reason Atkins is so successful is partly because it forces people to eliminate the refined carbs out of their diets. Also, with the restriction in carbs, people lose water weight. The question is do they lose fat, though, because that is what is important.
Best,
Joey
