>When I eat carbs, I put on weight. When I don't, I lose weight. However, other people I know are the opposite.
I doubt so.
If you stick to protein and vegetables with no carbs and sugars in general, you get lots of filling fiber, and fewer calories, unless they consume huge quantities of lard or bacon every day, or drink sugars (e.g. in juices or sodas), etc.
> Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large (polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose).
I wish people would stop hating on "carbs" and redirect their disdain to sugars / small carbohydrates.
Glucogenic amino acids (13 of the approx. 18 main amino acids comprising protein) provide glucose and small carbohydrates when broken down. Point taken on 'enough carbs' though.

So those people are doing something wrong.
