Carbs are necessary for proper brain funtion. Carbs are your bodies energy.
Want poor brain function and low energy.... skip the carbs.

37lbs down and most of what I eat is carbohydrate-based.

I ate white bread yesterday. Also had some m&ms and an ice cream sandwich. Yeah.

I weighed .2 lbs less today than I did yesterday. uh huh.

I eat bread but I make sure it is the 35 calorie a slice kind. I am trying to only eat 1200 calories so this bread fills me up. I think it is unrealistic to think you can cut bread out all together.

19.5 pounds so far AND 24.25 inches. I don't even track carbs. I just eat and exercise.

Sames.

besides a medical reason (ie the doctor TOLD you not to eat as many carbs) i think people should eat however much they want.

yea I don't know why people keep saying they have to cut out certain types of foods. I eat a lot and a variety of foods, I just lift a lot too. :P #progress

I love my carbs. The thing I changed as far as bread is I changed from white to wheat and then changed from normal fiber to high fiber because I eat a lot of protein and I want to keep things regular. So yup, eat bread, lose weight: It works!

Ive tried low carb... I didn't have the energy to get out of my own way... I eat bread, potatoes, pasta and all the yumminess lol.

All the weight I've lost so far is by going over on the carbs and under on the fat and sugar

I cut down on bread a little, because sometimes I was eating it out of habit and not because I especially wanted it. But I still eat plenty of it, and I lost weight just fine.

I have been eating whole wheat cinnamon raisin toast every morning for a week. Before that I was eating smart white toast and peanutbutter. I eat carbs, I just eat fewer and try to make better selections of carbs.

I ate pizza for lunch yesterday.

eat it every day and so far I have lost 11 pounds everything in moderation!

I think this type of debate will continue until the next food item is demonized. Trying to pin obesity on any food item or macronutrient is just plain sillyness, IMO.

I eat bread and I drop weight on 200-250g CHO/day. I also pay absolutely zero regard to digestive rate of CHO. I hit my macros and stay near my calorie goal and I use "some common sense" with food choices and that's about it.

Why complicate it.

carbs! It is only calories that matter in the end for weight loss.

My body reacts very poorly to empty carbs as I am diabetic. That being said, I would never cut them out completely. I simply limit my take in to a certain amount per snack and meal. Isn't the no bread thing Atkins? I love dough far too much. I've lost nearly 70 lbs simply by portion control and exercise. You can still have "bad" things on occasion. GASP!

MMmmmm bread

TeachTheGirl

Guilty.

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to give up foods I love, I just eat them in better moderation now.

katscoots

YES, me too - lower calorie; but I still eat pasta and rice as well. It's all about moderation.

mrseelmerfudd

Love it!!! i still eat bread, and i eat quite a lot of rice. however i get a balanced diet so i dont see the issue!!

But, but, but I saw a study once by the meat industry that said carbs are bad and you should only eat beef.

I've always been a big carb fan - and I have lost weight while eating carbs.

I choose healthier whole grains instead of over-processed grains...I go for unbleached and natural grains (NO WHITE BREAD).

I have a certain percentage of my diet that is for carbs/grains/wheats....and I stick to it as close as possible.

I did the Atkins diet a long time ago when it first became popular....and I did drop weight on it - as well as have stinky breath all of the time due to ketosis. Once I added carbs back into the diet - I gained weight immediately! SO, unless you're prepared to NEVER eat a slice of bread again - I wouldn't bother.

mustgetmuscles1

Lots of carbs when I can get them.

Ninjas eat rice...nuff said.

HauteP1nk

I haven't cut anything out completely and I have still lost weight.

I have just cut back on certain things (such as junk food/fast food).

It is all about eating in moderation....

I love bread! Yummy!
