    i read recently that you should have no more than 9 g carbs every hour. or 144 each day to keep your body from producing enough insulin to store your calories as fat

    Seriously, that's what you got out of 4 pages of responses.

    Yep I lost all my weight in 7 months & still keep it off. I eat bread like crazy. I love bread & refuse to give it up. I love my sushi...so there is more carbs.

    You eat what you want, just work harder to get to your goal. :)

    I'm pretty sure I would die if I tried to restrict my carbs! And I've managed to hit my target weight pretty easily.

    I like bread - I eat it every day. That's not going to change. So long as everything fits within my calorie goal, I'm not too fussed about the breakdown of macros.

    The only thing I restricted was Calories. I have not once cared about carbs, fats proteins, micros, macros, minis, salt, sugar, gluten or anything else. JUST CALORIES.

    Same here. Just counting calories. Don't pay a whole lot of attention to the others stuff. I suppose I should tho.

    Yeah, it's pretty easy although I don't know whether my diet is classified as high in carbs.

    Ignore it. That would mean everyone would be limited to eating 144 grams of carbs...When I eat at maintenance, I'm eating between 230 to 250 carbs.

    I agree with morticiamom. The more complex carbs and protein tend to keep you full longer so you aren't reaching for more food quite as soon. I lost 50 lbs without restricting my carbs although Insanity has put a bit of that weight back on me but in a good way. And drink plenty of water. A lot times I found myself thinking I'm hungry but not sure what I'm craving and it took me a long time to realize most of the time I was thirsty!

    Yes I lost 10 lbs so far on weight watchers. I am on my 4th week. I eat more carbs now than I did before. I just calculate the points. I've tried a few different things to try and lose weight in the past but so far WW is my favorite. The flex points allow me to splurge. It's become a way of life more than a diet... I just don't like to cut out the foods Iove. My aunt is a lifetime member and she has always looked great so I figured that I'd finally give it a shot. It's been a blessing. I feel like WW should be paying me for this tho haha!

    I'm at 300g carbs and losing about 1 - 1.5lbs a week. And no they are mostly complex carbs. The most complex carb i've been having is probably a banana.

    It's very easy to lose weight while eating carbs. I love carbs, yum yum! I don't restrict any food in my 'diet', even chocolate, cinnamon buns, pasta.
