Yep. Actually, I was born and raised in Suriname (a tiny little country in South America, former Dutch colony), but both of my parents are 100% German, they're not Dutch. We spoke German at home growing up.

Excess carbs will make you fat. I eat rice practically everyday, must cut down on it. Though, I have a nice supply of steak, chicken breast and lean turkey in the fridge, still have to get at least 1 bowl of rice a day.

I've been on a ketogenic diet (0 carbohydrates) for the last 3 months and let me tell you it does work. I wasn't fat before, i wasn't even chubby, i was like 175lb (80kg) when i started, now i've lost between 10 and 12 kg of fat (20-24lb). carbohydrates are used by our bodies as our primary energy source, and you can stuff your face with them as much as you like but if you eat more than you burn in a day, it's turned to fat. you should by no means cut out red meat, this is a great protein source and your body needs it. in addition to that, meat is filling and will reduce the amount of carbohydrates you actually eat. if you stop eating carbohydrates or reduce the amount, your water retention decreases and you'll lose weight but it will be water. rice, potatoes, brown bread, wheat and such are low GI carbs, which means your body digests them slowly and that means the energy release is gradual, which means in term that your body has a supply of energy for a few hours after eating but also that you have a much greater chance of burning the energy than if you ate the same amount of carbohydrates in a high GI form, like sugar which is digested very rapidly and spikes your energy then converts to fat. you don't have to cut down on carbs if you're getting fat, you just need to cut down on overall calories and balance out your diet more.

There are alternate sources of fat and protein (nuts, cheese, eggs) though I tend to agree they're less delicious than meat.

Wait... you're not getting fat, you like eating, and you're gonna stop eating?

Why? What adverse health effects do you feel? (Besides the recent SC2 disease that has been making players quit SC1)

It's OK to cut down on fats and excessive carbs (sweets), but what's wrong with meat?
I always thought that meat with vegetables is the best diet possible.
