A gem taken from Freeles rawfitbitch faq:
"Your body rarely stores carbohydrates from fruit as fat or even from plain cooked carbohydrates. These are the brain and bodies number one fuel which it requires all the time for proper functioning. Having an excess of carbohydrate in the body is virtually unheard of because when we eat sufficient calories from carbohydrates we activate a stop mechanism or we reach a satiation point because every cell in the human body runs on glucose/carbs. Never ever restrict your carbohydrate calories. People get fat from eating excess fat and protein not from plain high carb foods like fruit, rice, pasta and bread. "
