I'm sorry but I can remain silent no longer. People, CARBS (boo!, did I scare you?) do not make you gain weight, or lose weight. Weight gain/loss/stabilization, is a matter of total calories. Thats it. If you need 2000 cal/day. Even if you eat zero carbs, you will still gain weight if you eat 2500 calories of nothing but fat and protein. At the same token you will lose weight if you eat 1500 calories of pure carbs and no fat/protein every day.
This is obviously not healthy as everyone needs all three marcronutrients. I'm not trying to pick on anyone, and I realize type 2's need to watch their carbs for good glucose control, but it kill me that everyone is so carbophobic.
