carbs

Since going vegan about a year ago, my carb intake has increased dramatically. I'm beginning to think eating so many carbs is hindering my weight loss efforts. Is there an experienced vegan out there who can tell me if carbs are okay? How many carbs should I be eating? And how can I lower my carbs if necessary?

    I don't even pay attention to carbs. I've lost 67 lbs. Personally, I think the whole carb thing is overblown. All I do is try to avoid white flour, sugar and tortillas. That's it.
  • The word 'carbs' has a negative vibe to it. I like Dr. John McDougall's recommendations. We should never restrict starches/complex carbohydrates.
