Ha! Funny answer. But seriously, though, if people actually understood nutrition, they would use carbs to their advantage rather than fearing them as something detrimental. As I mentioned in a previous post in this thread, I eat a ridiculous amount of food when I'm highly active. If I remember correctly, that would mean 400+ grams of carbohydrates a day.

Now I don't mean to say this is suitable for everyone, but you get the point.
