The bottom line is that if you eat large quantities of carbs and fats together, you will get fat. As Mike pointed out earlier, this is not a good idea. Your body will take the easiest route to energy, by using the carbs for fuel....the fat you ate will then become fat on your body. Also, if the total calories you ate exceeded your energy requirements, the extra carbs will also become body fat. This is how most people got fat in the first place. They simply ate large quantities of carbs and fats. Many will then go on a low carb diet and lose weight and then say "Ah, you see it was the carbs that made me fat!". Actually, no it wasn't, it was a massive overload of carbs and fats. If they had been eating a low carb or a very low fat diet to begin with, they probably would have never become obese. Unfortunately, by the time they decide to do something about it, they have no choice but to maintain a low carb eating plan the rest of their lives in order to control their weight/blood sugar. Often, a low fat diet is not a viable alternative anymore because they have become diabetic or highly insulin resistant from years of a high fat, high carb diet.
