    WOW...that is not in line with what my weight loss nutritionist and doctor say.....grams of carbs....any carbs...are to be counted and stay under 130 grams per day. Avoid white grains/rice/bread/pasta, potatoes....starches in general. No more than 23 grams of carbs in any one serving.

    As far as apples are concerned, if my doctor could have his way, the ONLY fruit we would eat would be apples and two of them per day.

    I understand the idea of what she is saying, but for significant weight loss, especially for people who have lots of hunger and cracings, you have to count carbs.

    I don't think the OP was saying not to count carbs, I think she was just trying to help people have an easier way of distinguishing between "good carb" and "bad carb". I also don't think she was referring to whole, natural foods (fruits, veggies, etc) I think she was referring more to processed grains (cereal, bread, pasta, cookies, crackers, etc.) That's how I read it anyways.

    Yes! Exactly! People forget that you will still need to check on your carbs. I just thought it was a nice way to figure out which foods are better to eat than others.
