quote:my amateur understanding of this revolves around the same principle. the atkins diet was centered on the understanding/belief/research that bad carbs are the biggest contributor to heart disease, not red meats like commonly believed. if you cut carbs, you can have fats and fatty meats. if you don't cut carbs, you have to watch the fats.
I use to seek out additional fat sources for my diet (nuts, avocado, whole eggs) but read a few books that suggested getting away from that when taking in a large amount of carbs per day.
there was a thread on this about a month ago.

correct. the body does a poor job of managing carbs and fats at the same time (I may be supporting paleo here indirectly
). Basically, if you take in a large portion of carbs and fats at the same time, a larger portion of those fats will be stored than if you ate the same amounts but separated them by a few hours.
