the japanese eat an incredible amount of carbs. basic bowl of ramen is 90% noodles and 10% of all the other stuff. they also eat heaps of white rice. yet despite all this, they are very skinny. turns out carbs are not bad per se, it's that in the west, shit is drowned in salt/sugar/oil and maybe even fried or deep fried. still for some reason, "carbs" are demonized, why?
