Carbs, not dietary fat, cause obesity? (A discussion of fat
loss/gain and not total body weight)    • Carbs = Energy
Unused energy gets stored      The body stores unused energy as
fat      If the body gets the minimum amount of energy thru diet
then      The body uses stored body fat or muscle mas for energy
I would love comments and opinions on this philosophy!      (I
am keeping it simple and not mentioning high vs low glycemic,
good vs bad fats, and insulin but I am aware of them and want to
start some discussion)     • I'm inclined to agree with what
you've written with one caveat.  "Excess carbs" are stored if
not burned.  So the question becomes more individualized than
the facts you've written allow.  I believe that elite athletes
indeed burn more energy than the mid and high end range non-
professional athletes.  Elite athletes can be found training 2
and 3 times per day (while being sponsored so they don't have to
have a full time job) and need far more fuel than the average
masses.
