I actually need to eat more fruit.</p> kirktastic Sun, 08 Jun 2008 21:33:55 +0000 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/326/subjects/375 904 <p>Boy, this is a topic that can start fights among the workout crowd. In all the reading I've done, there's no conclusive answer - about half the literature says carbs are the problem, half says it's calories first then carbs.</p> <p>I know that in my experience, the fewer carbs I eat the more weight I lose, and minimizing carbs makes it possible to pay slightly less attention to calorie count. But that may be just me.</p> gentlegiant112 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:22:13 +0000 http://tracker.dailyburn.com/groups/326/subjects/375 865
