I think carbs cause insulin to spike. Insulin increases fat storage and causes other imbalances in the endocrine system.

One thing people do to loose weight is gastric bypass surgery. It's risky and after it one must eat a very good diet because the food intake is so small.

I don't think reducing my weight 100 lbs would be very good for me. By the Body Mass Index (BMI) chart I'm obese but I don't place much value on the chart.

One thing I have heard about the gastric bypass is that if people eat high carb or high sugar food that they get sick. So, most people who have had the surgery end up eating low-carb anyway. Anyone know if that is true?

There was a show on Discovery (could have been TLC, I get them confused) about a girl who had the gastric bypass. I had seen it before and it is very interesting.
