On planet Fitbitch, I've heard so much about the evil of bread (god, give me a stick of French bread over chocolate anyday!) and the need to cut carbs, that I'd got to the point of ignoring it. "Surely, it's a conspiracy by the Protein Promotion Board?" I convinced myself. Then, I studied to become a personal trainer and during my lessons in weight management I discovered the truth.
Simply put, the carbohydrates we eat are converted to glycogen and stored in the muscles where they are used up by the body for energy. Eat more than you need though and the body converts the excess to fat stores. Simply put then, the trick to losing weight - and crucially melting away those fat stores - is to cut back on your carbohydrate intake so that the body is forced to convert energy stored in fat. Now, that's not to say give up carbohydrates completely as you need some but just don't snack on bread all day. And exercise! For guaranteed weight loss it's as simple as that. If anyone wants more information on exact proportions for a kickstart weightloss plan let me know.
