"I see people who will eat a 16-ounce steak for dinner and four ounces of cheese and six ounces of nuts for snacks but avoid eating a baked potato because they think the potato will make them fat. "

YUM. Bring it on.

Seriously, I didn't lose weight when I ate high carb. I'm sure I would have improved at 40% carb...that about 200 grams of carbs on a 2000 calorie a day diet.
But I lost weight and feel great on 5% carb, according to Fitday.
Ironic.
