    Well carbohydrates are sugars so... complex carbs are good for you! They are slowly digested so they provide energy for longer periods of time. Any of the things you may be thinking of, white eice, white bread, muffins, cake, pasta. All those are high in simple carbohydrates which means it will be converted to sugar very quickly.

    The things you listed are complex carbs (though muffins and cake probably also contain some simple carbohyrdrate as well)

    Starches are complex carbs. Sugars are simple carbs. Processing doesn't change that.

    Pork Skins. No carbs, no sugar. Good snack while your friends are putting away the potato & corn chips.

    Substituting complex carbs is beneficial, but the rest has been outlined. I initially really cut my carbs and then realized I did not have to. I just try to make better carb choices. Whole wheat pasta and bread in limited quantities. I do not restrict vegetables - but I don't eat as many as I should.

    OP why are you low carbing if you don't know what has carbs and what doesn't?

    Maybe you should re-assess where you're at right now.

    I have a husband who desperately needs to reduce his carbs and asks me all the time what is a carb and what is not.

    eat natural plant based and these problems won't exist and you'll never have to restrict carbs, carbs are everything i wish more people knew this :(

    That is a fact! Everyone should understand the importance of carbs! Low carb diets are very unhealthy!

    Not true.

    Eggs have no sugar nor do many hard cheeses. 20% fat beef mince is cheap and carb free.
