no they don't

Do carbs always make you fat?
No.
Can they?
Sometimes.
Thomas Cooper
Too much carbs make you fat.
Oliver Wilson
if you let them then yes. stand up to the carb bullying. take control of your life.

Depends on how much of them you are eating. High carb foods are typically also high in calories and aren't very dense, which means you can eat a lot of them without getting full. It's easy to eat 1000 calories worth of French fries or chips, not too easy to eat that many calories worth of fruit, veggies or meat.
TLDR if you're a fat fuck with no self control carbs are an easier way to get fat than other foods.

>Does eating 2000 calories of fried garlic bread with a 3l bottle of coke make me fat
Yes

French fries and chips are HIGH FAT FOODS, not carbs. Please fucking stop. French fries and chips are 50% calories from fat, which is twice more than what your daily average should be at most. Nobody ever got fat eating roast potatoes WITHOUT ADDED FAT, the only problem is that people are apparently incapable of eating potatoes without drenching them in oil/butter, and then blaming the potato for making them fat.
If you want a simplistic answer, carbs keep you lean, fat makes you fat. Look at the people around the world who are not suffering from obesity and diabetes, what do they eat? Rice, potatoes, bread, corn, plantains, beans, lentils... carbs up the ass, because they can't afford burgers, KFC, olive oil. And are they fat? No. The potatoes are fat, the people are slim

These foods are quite literally more likely to cause diabetes, minus beans and lentils, because they cause insulin spikes due to being high on the glycemic index. Your advice is shit. Those people eat a lot of vegetables and supplement their diets with these high carb foods. They also eat a fatty protein but in moderation.
YOU ARE SO FUCKING DUMB

You know you're like a fucking robot, right? Like every time somebody points out that fat makes you fat, some idiot has to chime in with "It's the current year!". Fat made you fat 30 years, a hundred years ago, 10,000 years ago, whether you like it or not. People in the developed world are fat as fuck and consuming high-fat low-carb diets. 5 days on a high-fat diet and your muscles already adapt towards diabetes and become less efficient at utilizing glucose sciencedaily.com
Carbs and "insulin spikes" don't cause diabetes, you don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. The whole premise of "insulin spikes" causing diabetes is only advanced by fatkins apologists who are still living in the 90s and have no relevance in the scientific community. Diabetes is caused by high-fat diets. Glycemic index is irrelevant, glucose "spikes" are actually good for you, and no, these people do not eat a lot of vegetables, they eat starch every meal of the day because they can't fucking afford a thousand calories from vegetables. Rice for breakfast, dinner and supper, teff for breakfast, dinner and supper, carbs all day every day with insulin going all over the fucking place and not the slightest hint of diabetes.

First study:
>Although the study showed the manner in which the muscle metabolized glucose was altered, the students did not gain weight or have any signs of insulin resistance.
This study actually contradicts the point you're making
Second study:
>This study suggests that an impaired ability to increase fat oxidation in response to high-fat meals precedes the development of insulin resistance in genetically susceptible individuals.
>genetically susceptible individuals
In other words, this only applies to people predisposed to diabetes. This study is worthless for the point you're making
Try reading the sources you cite.

Glucose peaks are not bad for you, you undercarbed clown. The whole notion that blood sugar and insulin are bad for you was created out of thin air by ketards to distract from the established scientific fact that high-fat diets cause diabetes and heart disease
Andrew Wood
Ad hominem speculation on what I do or don't eat won't help how weak and outdated your argument is.
Heart disease is related to the ratio of different fats you consume, noted here:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
>In practice, reducing red meat and dairy products in a food supply and increasing intakes of nuts, fish, soy products and nonhydrogenated vegetable oils will improve the mix of fatty acids and have a markedly beneficial effect on rates of CHD
As for Glucose peaks, the following describes the insulin response to blood glucose
>The resulting complex sets a variety of intracellular phosphorylation cascades in motion which ultimately result in the insertion of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) molecules into the cell membranes of fat and muscle tissues, increasing the rate of glucose transport into these cells (making their glucose uptake “insulin dependent”).[44] It also results in the activation of the enzyme, glycogen synthase, causing liver and muscle cells to convert glucose into glycogen. A similar activation of the glycolytic enzymes, and of acetyl CoA carboxylase, stimulates liver, adipose and lactating mammary gland tissue to synthesize triglycerides (fats).
Spikes in sugar lead to synthesis of fat. It's correlated with the amount of sugar not being utilized as energy is expended
Glucose peaks are fine in the process of exercising or afterwords
"Do carbs make you fat or not?"
it depends. The consensus is that unprocessed sugars like those from fruits and vegetables are fine; processed sugars like those from juices and soft drinks aren't.

So what? Count calories in general and it doesn't matter what source they come from.
Ayden Lee
How can so many scientific studies come to vastly different conclusions on everything?
Christopher Bell
Eating more calories than you use makes you fat.
Joshua Smith
They make you fat just as much any other calorie
