Carb Sources For Fat Loss ?

[Pharm_Fed]

I'm not arguing, just trying to understand. It seems like different places say different things. So although fruits do contain good carbs, they have so much sugar that it's not worth using them as a primary source of carbs? Did I understand that right?

So I guess fruits have both complex and simple carbs then?

Do you know of any good books or articles from reputable sources I could read up about stuff like this, I just posted a new thread as well, but I want to more thoroughly understand the human body as I find it very interesting. I wish I would have majored in sports medicine. *sigh* oh well. I've been reading a lot about supplements/drugs and I think before I learn all about that I want to learn more about the "fundamentals". I have some grasp of things, but not thorough enough for my satisfaction.

I've got thousands of em thru vitabot.com. Allows you to choose foods based on your goals. Even grades you on heart health, vitamines, minerals, protien, carbs, and fats. The better foods you chose the better your grade. It came with my gym membership. I'm told it's what hospitals use for online meal planning. I gotta say, it rocks.

One cardio session will burn off this breakfast and your snack will get you thru to lunch.
