I hear this all the time, most recently cephisiss in the cereal thread basically saying there's no difference between eating something like Special K cereal versus the same quantity of sugary cereal like Lucky Charms. The claim is that they do the same to your blood sugar.
I also heard Vinne Tortorich on the Adam Carolla Show saying eating a chocolate bar was better than eating a baked potato because the baked potato has a decent amount more carbs and they do the same to blood sugar.
I get what is being said, but this is far, far from my experience. Even considering a calorie is a calorie, I think eating the clean carbs is nowhere near as bad for you from a weight loss perspective.
Is there any actual scientific evidence of this, by which I mean studies where various foods are eaten (by healthy people who exercise) and then blood sugar is measured to see the effects?
-
10 grams of carbohydrates (derived from glucose).
10 grams of carbohydrates (derived from fiber).
They are not the same, and have completely different effects on the body. HTH!

I don't know if what I'll say is bro science but when it comes to foods that are primarily looked at as "good fats" like walnuts, natural peanut butter (the legit kind, not the bullshit ones), etc that do have carbs, I tend to think that the carbs attached to these "good fats" should count but they really don't (I think this was a bit of a run on sentence and could have used a comma here and there--someone help me here)
it sounds weird but I think some of you know what I"m talking about
say you eat 300gs of carbs a day but of those 300 like i dunno 50g's of carbs come from the walnuts you consume
you're daily carb intake is still 300gs and your calorie intake from carbs would still be 1200 kcals
however there should be a tacit understanding in your head that of those 300g's only 250g's really count as carbs
is that how the whole "net carbs" thing works?

Yes, there are simple carbs and complex carbs.
Simple carbs like sugar, fructose or glucose generally "burn" faster with a higher but shorter spike regarding blood sugar..
Complex carbs like oats, potatoes or whole-grain products generally "burn" slower with a consistent higher level but not as high as simple carbs regarding blood sugar.
A calorie is not a calorie.
Only if you take it literally.
A carb is not a carb.

You are forgetting a food is more than just a carb, fat or protein. Their are many other minerals, vitamins and other nutrients essential to peak performance, so it is almost always better to eat so called clean, as opposed to cheating on junk foods.

This is not exactly what I'm concerned about. Scientific study or not, I don't think carbs from fibrous things like veggies or even apples affect the body the same as a candy bar. It seems very logical that the fiber affects digestion and slows absorption.
My question is more about natural starchy kinds of carbs like potatoes or poi or rice.
So far no actual studies cited showing these affect the body differently.

This is what I've always believed also, just not sure if it is backed up by any study showing those actual effects, much less a study in humans.
-
fiber encapsulates the glucose for example, and this shell takes time for the body to break down before the glucose can be absorbed. Ie: lower glycemic load aswell as more effort by the body to actually utilize the energy , and lets not forget the benefits of fiber

Yes, there are literally hundreds of scientific studies performed on various animals. PubMed has many of them.

Sucrose/glucose not the same as complex/fibrous carbs.
Anyone who believes they are the same is a moronic fucktard.

Carbs, protein and fats all work the same way.
Lets say you want to ingest 200 grams of protein. It doesnt matter where the 200 grams come from. If I eat 15 slices of cake to get 200 grams of protein, that is the same as eating 5 chicken breasts to get 200 grams of protein. Your body doesnt know where the protein is coming from.
The same with carbs. If you need to ingest 100 grams of carbs, you can get those carbs from anywhere.
The point being is that as long as you dont go passed what your body needs, you're fine.

A case can be made that complex carbs are worse than the simple, as the reason complex carbs are "slow burning" is because they are harder to digest.
Carbs are primarily for anaerobic activities. Slow burning energy is the function of fat.

A carb is not a carb.
A calorie is not a calorie.
A calorie breaks down basically into protein, carbs and fat or any combination of these.
Protein breaks down into complete protein sources (which contain all 9 essential amino acids, mostly animal protein),
and incomplete protein sources (which don't contain all 9 essential amino acids, mostly plant protein).
Incomplete protein sources can be combined to form a complete protein source though.
Carbs, as already previously mentioned break down into complex carbs and simple carbs which have completely different effects on the body.
Fat breaks down into saturated fat and unsaturated fat where unsaturated fat, especially poly-unsatured fat (such as high quality vegetable oil) is to prefer.

In terms of dieting down if you are getting enough protein and cals to maintain muscle mass, and you're in a calorie deficit in total, how would you look any worse? Science says you would lose fat and maintain muscle not get fat in a calorie deficit because you are eating too much sugar and its spiking your insulin(which is fucking retarded to worry about on a BB forum where the main drug used in the sport is insulin)

This is basically the issue. Says who regarding complex v. simple. Many say it affects the body the same. Sugar is sugar, calorie is calorie. I don't believe it but many do.

Probably because you are both old and stuck in your old ways. Unless you are dieting down to contest shape there won't be a difference besides health. I don't see how you think with adequate protein and staying in a deficit that having a candy bar a few times a week instead of potatoes will make a difference in fat loss.

Pretty much. "All that matters is that you dont consume more calories than what your body needs." True Adonis
For example, if your body needs 2000 calories to thrive, and you take in more than 2000 calories, than you will put on body fat.
However, if you eat only 1,999 calories of ice cream, you can still get shredded because you have no exceeded your caloric intake of 2000.

She states, "It doesn't matter if you fill your macros with 10 oreos or 5 gallons of brocolli. As long as you are eating based on your body composition and goals, you can maintain your body and build muscle while gaining minimal fat. Your body doesn't differentiate a slice of pizza from a salad with meat, cheese, dressing, and croutons (which can have the same macros).

Apart from this being utter nonsense she doesn't mention anything about carbs.
Let her eat only pizza for one month.
Then only salad with meat, cheese, dressing and croutons the next month.
Let's see if she will still say it's the same.

I think youre missing the point.
By saying "macros" they are including carbohydrates (a macro-nutrient)
The claim is you WILL be the same if your macronutrients (carb/fat/prot) and calories are what youve intended them to be, regardless of the source.
Ive done IIFYM, Keto, Atkins, raw/vegan, pea protein, bb diet, etc. my body reacts best to extrmemly low carbohydrates (and most likely kcals) and exogenous testosterone
-

Of course...
but it's wrong to go just by carbs/fat/protein alone.
There are different types which have completely different effects on the body.
Some of them you might want to avoid.
For example:
Carbs break down into simple carbs and complex carbs.
Fat breaks down into saturated fat and unsaturated fat which breaks down into monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat.
Protein breaks down into complete and incomplete protein.
It's just not all the same.

So far all bro science, except one person said there are articles on Pubmed (which I have no idea about). Not one single study linked to backing up any of these claims that starchy carbs like a potato or rice are any better or worse than a candy bar. No study showing any human beings ever having had any of these bro science claims tested by actual scientific method.

You can never be sure.
Unless you try it for yourself.
Which is what I suggest.
1 month candy bars only.
1 month potatoes only.
Feel the difference.

I'll bet most of them conclude with the disclaimer, "Further research needs to be done." Truth be told, most studies are useless, as the authors can't go more than a sentence without citing someone else's work. It's as though no one has an original thought!
And I still haven't seen anyone respond to what I believe is an valid question: what makes slow burning carbs burn slowly? I contend it's because they aren't easily digested.
With regard to "how you feel" question, I feel much healthier when I limit grains.

if thats true then sweetcorn is the slowest burning of all.
Its down to the molecular build up of the carb, carbs made up of simple sugars are broken down much faster.

Can not believe people still think a "calorie is a calorie" or a "carb is a carb".
It's simple....go eat 2500 cals of straight chocolate and potato chips for one month. Then do the same with 2500 calories of rice and veggies. Tell me if you still believe a carb is a carb. ::)

Afaik I am not part of your family and I am not sure if I would want to.
Now that we cleared up the relationship part let me tell you every "study", etc. is worthless.
Why?
First of all most "studies" are done with a specific motivation in mind.
Others even are plain out lies to promote a product for example or to promote other lies which were created to manipulate people.
Of course there are reliable studies also but they are in the minority.
Second, any "knowledge" you may have acquired from outside sources is basically worthless in itself.
Why?
If something has not been experienced by yourself it will be blind belief only...
It will not be reliable.
Therefore...
if you really want to know there is no other option than trying it out yourself.
I have experience regarding carbs otherwise I wouldn't have posted anything about it.
Sadly that won't help you one bit.
Just like some study won't help you one bit.
The only thing that will bring you a step further regarding this matter is personal experience.
Set it up, son.

That doesn't equate to them having no nutritional value.
Protein contains amino acids, amino acids contain nutritional value, as such your statement claiming protein has no nutritional value is incorrect.
Not only do amino acids have nutritional value they are essential for life, without them you would not survive.

what point is that? ???
that you don't know what the word "nutrient" means?
nu·tri·ent
ˈn(y)o͞otrēənt/
noun
noun: nutrient; plural noun: nutrients
a substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life.
-
Macros in their pure form can not sustain life. All this talk about a carb is a carb it pointless and everyone is missing the point.
Protein in its purest form contains amino acids, without amino acids its not a protein.
Protein consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
The addition of nitrogen gives protein its unique distinction from carbohydrate and fat, along with establishing the signature name, amino acid.
So, protein has nutritional value.
I know what you are getting at but you shouldn't make sweeping statements.

So you think all one have to do is take a vitamin with their aminos and olive oil ? By all means try it. When someone says a carb is a carb (which are not essential ) they are right. A carb in and of itself can't be anything but a carb. Now the difference is what foods are you eating to get your carbs. Lots of plant foods contain an abundance of nutrients that we so vitally need. So it's not the carb but the source of where the carb is coming that sustains us. It all breaks down into glucose. Fiber glycemic index amount of sugars insulin response is what ages us prematurely and ruins our health. I'd rather have they vital nutrients in the plant food than the carbs but it's not possible since we are still identifying mico nutrients that we need to live a healthy life.

If something has not been experienced by yourself it will be blind belief only...
It will not be reliable.
Therefore...
if you really want to know there is no other option than trying it out yourself.
I can no longer take you serious.
So unless YOU are personally administering double-blind studies, interpreting data and publishing the results then It cant be true?
What about dinosaurs? You believe them sciency-folks bout them?

So much science my brain hurts!

i eat a candy bar and a potato and check my glucometer and the reading is the same
Who cares? That has nothing to do with nothing. A reading is a reading maybe but a carb is NOT a carb in the sense we are talking here.

you're wrong
I don't get this chart. It has 6 different values for white bread. Everyone is different. Does it say that everything people say about blood glucose and glycemic index is basically wrong? Seems like other than white bread and jelly beans there isn't all that much difference. Some of the margins of error plus minus seem ridiculously high.

Also potato chips are the same as apples and doughnuts ?

pretty much. i'm guessing they administered a separate trial for each food group, including white bread in each to serve as a reference point. been a while since i read the abstract.

So you think all one have to do is take a vitamin with their aminos and olive oil ? By all means try it. When someone says a carb is a carb (which are not essential ) they are right. A carb in and of itself can't be anything but a carb. Now the difference is what foods are you eating to get your carbs. Lots of plant foods contain an abundance of nutrients that we so vitally need. So it's not the carb but the source of where the carb is coming that sustains us. It all breaks down into glucose. Fiber glycemic index amount of sugars insulin response is what ages us prematurely and ruins our health. I'd rather have they vital nutrients in the plant food than the carbs but it's not possible since we are still identifying mico nutrients that we need to live a healthy life.
Stop fucking waffling and trying to divert from what you said, you claimed carbs fats and proteins contained no nutritional value, I have explained how proteins contain amino acids and as such have nutritional value.
I couldnt give a fuck about carbs, that wasnt the crux of my argument
Now, do you still think protein contains no nutritional value as you stated earlier?
Stop making a fool of yourself.

The 6 values represent different calculations.

This chart seems to show that most foods are within a fairly close range in what they do to your blood glucose and insulin levels. I'd guess that if you add to this what also happens when these foods are costumed and digested along with other foods like how normal humans eat, even much of that variation goes away.
I think this seems to prove a carb is a carb right?

From my understanding, the research is moving away from the Glycemic Index and towards Glycemic Load.
So we're back to, "If you don't want to get fat, don't eat too much."
Who could've guessed? ;)

I have a perfect analogy to demonstrate that a carb is just a carb.
When you exercise, and use cables or machines, your body doesn't realize its using a cable or machine. Tension is tension, whether you use cable/machine or free weight. Your body is not going to "say" to itself, "Oh, I am not going to grow because tension is coming from a cable, and not a barbell."
Similarly, your body is not going to differentiate from where the carb or fat is coming from. Your body is not going to secretly make you get fatter because the carb or fat came from a piece of cake, and not a chicken breast.

How does a carb magically transform when its inside a piece of cake, as opposed to a piece of chicken? ??? ???

Do you have any evidence that the body responds differently to free weights when compared to machines/cables?
-
Do you have any evidence that the body responds differently to free weights when compared to machines/cables?
yes, personal experience. Have done this many times.
I need a mix of them to be my best, it's never an "all or nothing" response here. Nothing is all negative here, would say "some machines are good, some cable movements are good, some free weight movements are good"

Personal experience is poor evidence when trying to prove a claim. There is no way you can assert that your muscle gains came from one exercise or another. If you do a mixture of free weights and cables/machines, how do you know which one your body is responding to best? There is no way you can objectively tell.
-
Yes.
Noticed the same.
In the end I settled for like one third free weights, one third machines and on third cables.
I like that as well. Or I may do just two movements but make them all free weight but same total sets I would have done over a free weight, machine, then cable. They all have their value in regards to how they stimulate muscle.
No idea why it has to be an "all or nothing" approach. The body gets tired from fee weights, yet still has gas to continue but CNS gets tired. So stuff that is easier on the CNS yet still stimulates the muscle at this point is a great option.
-
LOL.

I totally disagree but if you feel you're getting great results as you're doing now, stick with it.

Free weights are essential/a must and should form the base of any weight training.
Mainly because they stimulate stabilizer muscles also and therefore will build more overall strength.
Also there will be a difference physique wise as opposed to machine/cable training only.

Cephissus's chart seemed to show that whether you call it a complex carb or a simple carb, and regardless of the chemical composition, except for a few outliers they affect the blood sugar and insulin pretty similarly.
This means there's a heck of a lot of bro science and people talking out of their asses about the differences between carbs and their effect on the body.

First of all we don't know if this is actually a true representation of what has been done or even if it has really been done.
Second this chart doesn't take time into account.
If you would take some measurements over time (let's say every 2 mins) there will be a significant difference between simple carbs and complex carbs.
Also the effect on the body is very different.

the glycemic chart is BS anyway, we never eat just a potato as a meal anyway. The meal with have fats and carbs redering this whole debate totally and completely useless.

if these 'other things' could change the behavior of a candy bar, they could also change the behavior of a sweet potato. suggesting that this experiment is 'meaningless' because 'food combining' is incorrect. it may be the case that, for example, "complex carbs" interact with other foods in a way "simple carbs" do not, but that is unintuitive and requires further justification.
also (not that this is relevant), I've measured myself many times. 'food combining' did not magically blunt the glucose spike.

not really. the servings were isocaloric and mars bars have a lot more fat than potatoes.

by the way, a carb is not a carb:
In conclusion, lean and obese subjects had the same increase in fatty acid synthesis on eucaloric, very low fat solid food diets enriched in simple sugars. The increase in synthesis was not related to insulin, glucagon, or glucose levels. Both the linoleate dilution and MIDA methods showed that the increase in fatty acid synthesis followed two distinct 24-h patterns and was correlated with the highly variable increase in TG. As yet undefined mediators of the carbohydrate-induced stimulation of human fatty acid synthesis need to be identified. The effect of high carbohydrate diets on energy balance is small, yet the impact of de novo synthesized saturated fatty acids on the fatty acid composition and production of VLDL TG is large due to the relatively small pool of fatty acids in the plasma. The physiological consequences and potential atherogenicity of such changes must be elucidated, given the increasing public consumption of simple sugars (27). Future studies of these effects of low fat, high carbohydrate diets should lead to better dietary therapy for hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular disease.
http://www.jlr.org/content/41/4/595.long
simple sugars = heart disease ??? ???
maybe? maybe not?
"small impact on energy balance"
"substantial de novo fatty acid synthesis"
"but... no correlation to bmi" -- hmm, what about fatty acid storage?
are you confused yet?

Microwave is bad, period, lol! And yeah it increases the glycemic index (almost certain of this) I read this from Dan Duchaine a long, long time ago.
But eating protein and fats does stabalize the blood sugar levels. Don't care what the stupid trolls here say.
-
This sounds like you are relying on a study of one to rebut the food combining, which isn't very scientific.
the point is that "simple" and "complex" carbs can have similar effects on blood glucose. if eating a steak with wild rice lowers the glucose response (not me experience, but again, NOT RELEVANT), then you may suspect that eating a steak with your pile of white rice might ellicit a similar reduction in glucose response. to suggest that food combining effects the glucose response of some carbs differently than others goes, to me, against intuition. and not only that, but my personal experience.
i advise testing these things for yourself. it's cheap and easy, and you may find that glucose response does not "play by the rules."
but then again, you're right. i'm not very scientific and "protein and fats does stabalize the blood sugar levels", so don't worry about eating a sweet potato because that's completely, 100% different from a bowl of cookie crisp.
::)
just to be clear, i don't really have a stake in this debate. i just find it hilarious that so many people (on a bodybuilding forum, of all places), continue to recite nutritional dogma on the basis of claims that don't stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
by the way, want to hear some more anti-science bullshit?
Just take a look at how amylase, a salivary enzyme found in highly variable levels (DNA-dependent) has on those complex starchy carbs:
We found that following starch ingestion, HA individuals had significantly lower postprandial blood glucose concentrations at 45, 60, and 75 min, as well as significantly lower AUC and peak blood glucose concentrations than the LA individuals. Plasma insulin concentrations in the HA group were significantly higher than baseline early in the testing session, whereas insulin concentrations in the LA group did not increase at this time. Following ingestion of the glucose solution, however, blood glucose and insulin concentrations did not differ between the groups. These observations are interpreted to suggest that HA individuals may be better adapted to ingest starches, whereas LA individuals may be at greater risk for insulin resistance and diabetes if chronically ingesting starch-rich diets.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3327743/
More amylase = more breakdown of starch to sugar IN THE MOUTH = signficantly LOWER peak and total glucose

What blows my mind is that these seem like reasonable questions. Like, do you imagine ritch wakes up one day thinks, "wow, i feel like shit after that workout -- must be because i microwaved my potato instead of boiling it!"
or "wow, i'm starting look like shit, better ditch the microwave and start boiling my potatoes again"
well, actually now that i think about it, he probably does... :-\

I don't think I called you non scientific other than pointing out that sample size of one thing. I appreciate what you've posted in this thread. Basically you are saying almost all bodybuilding nutrition claims are bro science. Heck not just bodybuilding, pretty much all athletic nutrition claims.
