Gerard Butler Needs His Carbs
SEP 25, 2009 AT 08:03 AM
Gerard Butler goes "crazy" when he has to diet. The 'Ugly Truth' actor hates losing weight for roles because he has to give up all the calorific foods he enjoys like cakes and french fries.
The 39-year-old star – who had to slim down for his shirtless scenes in new film 'Law Abiding Citizen' - said:
"I want to eat my potatoes and french fries and sponge cakes. When I play a role like this, I can't have my carbs and it makes me crazy!”
Mmmnnnn french fries and sponge cake.
Have you tried a low carb diet? Does it make you moody?

I could never live without carbs! On a normal workday I have about 8 slices of dark bread (sometimes 4 more when I get hungry at night) and for dinner I have potatoes or pasta or rice. Aren't carbs necessary for a healthy diet?

Like KissKiss, I could never live without carbs. I'm a pasta, potato and bread girl.
I survive solely on muffins, scones, pasta, and cereal, plus a piece of fruit.

The brain actually feeds on carbs. If you don't eat enough carbs, it really does effect the function of the brain. So they are definitely necessary! Unfortunately like more and more people, I have Celiac Disease, so my carb consumption is limited to potatoes, rice and corn products. No fresh bread or cakes for me... :-(

I've found my diet needs carbs. In moderation and always whole wheat though.

I think everyone gets moody on a diet. Even the word "diet" makes me cringe. I love my carbs.

I believe in a well balanced diet. There is no need to cut out anything so long as its done in moderation, unless of course you have allergies or a disease of some sort.

Ugh, I did and it was horrid, it felt like there was not enough choice and it made me crazy moody. Still trying to find the right type of diet for me!

Carbs are by far my favorite food group! Cereal, bread, popcorn...yum! @Annon--I don't have Celiac disease, but I have a friend who does & I've sampled some of her special gluten-free goodies and there are actually some decent tasting things on the market now!

I have to have carbs!
Im also obsessed with carbs. I have a funny addiction to mashed potatoes now ever since I got a potato ricer. I don't know how someone can work all day without carbs?
