Open Question: Does excess carbohydrates result in weight gain? Or excess calories?
if excess calories is the problem, then why do people count carbs?
and read this
Carbohydrates provide your body with glucose which is necessary for all cellular processes and provide your body with 4 calories per gram; they are also your body?s primary source for immediate energy. Excess glucose can be immediately used for energy with some stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles short term; when this storage limit is reached, the excess carbohydrates are converted to fat. Carbohydrates also provide essential vitamins and minerals which help to prevent cancer, heart disease, and other chronic illness. The key is the source of the carbohydrates.
that paragraph is found on the following site. it seems pretty reliable. but isn’t excess calories the enemy? why does it say excess carbs turn to fat? isn’t a calorie a calorie a calorie?
