if a person with a bit of a stomach who is overweight and just wants to lean up a bit and get down to 15% BF, well rice, pasta and that sort of stuff is fine in small portions. Because like in your instance when you were 70 pounds overweight you were probably eating all sorts of a junk 2 get so overweight. So eating carbs and protein was fine, cos u probably came from a diet of macdonalds and all sorts of junk. To get 2 a really low BF u dont touch complex carbs (rice, pasta white bread etc.) at all.

I have competed nationally in bodybuilding so while I agree that you have to cut a large portion of calories to get to that lean level, it does not require that you cut out all things except oats and spinach, not sure where you came up with those two. I ate rice, in ever decreasing quantities mind you, all the way up until the last week, and still had veins in my abs. It's about type and most importantly, the amount that you eat. A hypocaloric diet of any type will mkae you lose weight. For the record, I didn't get fat eating all kinds of junk, just that I over ate coommensurate with my activity level at that point.
