why would you not mix fat and carbs? If it's to keep from gaining weight I could not care less as I'm 6' and 145 pounds. Also, what is wrong with white bread?

Most people dont need to gain weight...so yes, if you are looking to gain then mixing isnt a problem. The easy answer is mixing fat and carbs makes you burn the carbs and store the fat. White bread gives you such an insulin surge because of the refined white flour that your blood glucose levels spike, which is rarely a good thing. Google Diabetes and refined white flour.



Edit: because diet is all about calorie in and calorie out, the amount of cals are the first step in what you need to determine fi you want to gain/lose weight. Not mixing fat/carb, the 40-30-30 diet, atkins, are all a refinement of where you get your calories from. Long term nutrition is key, and Ive found out of everything that not mixing F+C and eating P+C/F+P meals makes me less lethargic, etc.
