It's like two kids. One's a bad seed (carbs), and the other a normal teen (fat). By themselves they're okay, but together they are not good.
Of course, carbs are good... but not with fat, and likewise with fat.
For weight gain (or loss), every gram of fat you eat has 9 calories.
Just factor it into your daily caloric intake if you're worried about weight gain. I eat 200 grams of sirloin steak daily, and I'm still healthy (of course, I'm on a no carb cyclic ketogenic diet).

Actually thats not true. Carbs are not the enemy, only if you eat to much of them, and then only the ones that break down far to easily, like starchy carbs. Even then, when you eat them can have as much as a role actually.
Truth is there are goof fats and bad fats as well, and eating carbs or not, certain fats are no good period, and too much of anything is no good for you, so sorry, your wrong about that one.
Eating fat is fine, but the fats in meats are amoung the worst for you. Best fats are in nuts and crtain fruits, and yes, some fruits do have a fair amount of fat in them.
Ketogenic diet is a big mistake. Protein is an inferior source of energy, and for anything extreme as far as exercise you will end up burning your own muscle as fuel when you run out of carbs to burn. yeah, you'll burn more fat as well, but you certainly will not have as much energy. The key is to eat the right carbs, at the right times, and not overindulge.
I live in China right now, and none of the food is processed. I lost 10 pounds in my first 6 weeks here, without even trying, and I was already a low 9 percent body fat and very active. processed foods with added sugars throw your body chemistry out of whack, and make you more senstive to carbohydrate rich foods period. It's a shame really, acounts for a lot of fat people in the USA who can't seem to control their urges, thats the augar and other additives at work.
Bottom line, eat les proccessed foods, check the labels for sugar content, you'll be amazed what things have added sugar, practically everything, and eat a more balanced diet. Ketogenic diets are really an extreme form of weight loss, and not good for you really. You may look better, and seemingly keep the weight off more easily, but it's just not healthy. This is not a matter of opinion either, 25 years of trauining and athletics, and amazing performances atheltically, came from a lot of knowledge that I gathered and used with success over the years.
