the only way to loose fat is exercise and healthy diet, you NEED carbs.

Carbs is your bodies short term energy, and Fat is long term energy, when u dont get enough carbs your body will start to eat away at your fat, but assuming you move around during the day youll also loose alot of muscle.

Its also very unhealthy for u and ull probably feel weak and tired.

and as always there are "bad" carbs, you need to cut these out, chips cookies any of those sort of snacks and keep the good carb to moderation. ie watch how much u eat, no huge bowls of pasta, but you still need some to keep going.

my advice keep everything you eat to moderation and excercise alot

Thanx, it is not that I have a big problem, I am used to exercising, it is not very much help for me. Unfortunately i also have a problem with mythyroids. Thanx anyway, I thinking to reduce the amount of carbs but not a lot. I will still consume milk, fruits and some serial. But not much. Anyway, thanx again!

Low carb diets are horrible. Honestly, dont do it man. You'll lose weight but you'll also feel like crap, sweat a lot, and lose a lot of muscle mass.

Pasta is bad? :cry:

Does anyone know if cheerios are particularly bad for you? I ask because i just popped in south park season 6 on DVD, opened up a box of cheerios and inadvertedly went to town on those bad boys. :P
