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

    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.

    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!

    seen a lot of posts lately regarding "whole grain/wheat" bread/brown rice.. and such.. I am not understand why alot of people choose to cut them out COMPLETELY... I have lost weight with still eating bread, at a deficit.. eating healthy and working out...

    please tell me I am not the only one? share YOUR success so we can put the "bad carbs" posts to rest!

    Me too and I ... shhhh... sometimes even eat WHITE bread *gasp* I know it's not good for me but once in a while I want white bread with peanut butter on it!!!

    I heart carbs. I eat heaping bowls of pasta 2-3 times a week.

    I keep it under my calories and it's never been a problem.

    Unless you have PCOS or some other problem processing food there's no reason to go low carb. Cutting out whole food groups is just fad dieting.

    I still eat bread/grain and pasta too. I have just become very cautious of portion size(s) and calories. I haven't eaten white bread in years though, always preferred a whole grain/wheat anyhow. I switched from white rice to brown rice a ways back, same with pasta, no more white pasta. Whole grain all the way.

    I choose whole grains over white breads/rice because of the health benefits, not weight loss (you can definitely still lose eating white bread!). That being said, I eat a lot of carbs (my goal is 55% of my daily calories) and have lost 30 pounds.

    I fix myself a breakfast sandwich every morning with Arnold's Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins... high fiber/ high protein. I use egg beaters, honey ham and low fat cheese.

    I do cut back on carbs but that's because I was eating way too many carbs before. I use brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole grain/whole wheat breads, etc. It's all in moderation.
