Carb Strategies That I Have Found to Work Well for Staying Lean

I love carbs, which is why I could never be 100% Paleo. I do eat Paleo meals and even occasionally have low carb days, but I can't imagine a world without carbs. I enjoy gummy candy and red vines when watching movies and this is a habit that I don't want to break. Anyway over the past 20 years I have learned a few carb strategies that allow a person to eat tasty carbs without putting on a bunch of excess weight. This stuff isn't ground breaking or anything, but I know it doesn't hurt to be reminded of these effective strategies. I will create a list of tips and put the ones that have helped out the most towards the top. 



A "Thanks" to All of the Fitness Guys Who Have Come Clean
I love the trend of guys with fitness blogs who aren't afraid to admit they like food that some people consider "junk food". For instance, one of my favorite things this past year was Brad Pilon chomping down a pizza, while Craig Ballantyne sprinted on a treadmill. They were trying to show you can't out train a high calorie diet. I also love the Martin Berkhan's Cheesecake Mastery posts over on his Lean Gains site (where he eats an entire cheesecake with hilarious photos). This is a good trend, because who wants to have out with someone who won't let their guard down and "eat like the locals".
