Help with Carbs

childofArtemis24

I haven't lost any weight. So I got to looking and everything I eat has a lot of carbs. I thought I could still eat what I wanted, just use portion control. Well, it hasn't worked.
So my question is explain to me why they are bad and tell me how many I should be eating.

simple carbs are bad because they cause insulin spikes...
complex carbs are slowly released and used for energy but you need healthy fats and proteins too.

here is a list of good carbs:
