do you eat bread?

So I have been following a self-hybrided (I made up that word) diet. Trying to cut out almost all bad carbs. bread, pasta, rice, potatoes. I eat allot of proteins, turkey, chicken, eggs, turkey, turkey oh and turkey.

short version, getting sick of it. cutting vegetable to low glycemic ones but even skimping there too.

I read in my Les Mills Combat eating guide that they eat things like high fiber whole grain English muffins and wraps and high fiber low sugar breads, brown rice and quinoa. sweet potatoes and other things I was sure were no-no's.

do you eat carbs? do you limit them to mornings? for a person who works out 60-90 minutes 6x a week are they ok if your goal is to loose weight?

There is no such thing as "good" or "bad" carbs.

I eat carbs. They are delicious. Timing/frequency of consumption of any foods is irrelevant and has no bearing on weight loss whatsoever.

If your goal is to lose weight, you do not need to cut out any foods. As long as you maintain a caloric deficit, you will lose weight. Regardless of the food you're eating. Simple as that.

^This. I eat carbs all the time. They are yummy. I had 500 carbs the other day and I savored every tasty bite. I also enjoy carbs just before bed (and for dinner and breakfast and really all day). As long as I consume fewer calories in a day than I use, I lose weight. I find the less I restrict foods, the more likely I am to believe that I can and will eat that way for the rest of my life. That's what works for me.

I eat bread, though not every day. Last night for dinner I had a fish sandwich. I eat grains several days a week in one form or another, though I eat quinoa, Flat Out brand wraps (whole grain, high fiber) and brown rice more than bread.

I average 161 carbs per day and 35 g of fiber, so 126 g net carbs. I think rather than focusing on carbs, it's more important to focus on fiber, especially when it comes to grains. High fiber grains are usually more nutritious, fiber can lower the risk of heart disease and keep us regular.

When I first started mfp and began counting calories I cut out most carbs for a couple of days. My intent was to get my head in the game and stop eating "trigger" foods - those foods that make me want to overeat. I've slowly reintroduced complex carbs into my diet and just try not to overindulge in the "bad" carbs, i.e., ice cream, cake, etc.

I love sweet potatoes, fruit, whole grain bread and pasta, brown rice, etc., and no longer eliminate them from my diet.

I try to stick with whats called slow carbs. They take longer to digest so they are less likely to become stored as fat. Thats how you separate "Good carbs from Bad carbs". It's a well known fact that whole grains are better for you than bleached flour. Maybe good vs. bad isn't the best way to describe it but the other members on here should get the picture.

Anyways I get a brand called healthy life. They have high fiber and even flax seed varieties of white, wheat, and italian bread. The wheat bread nets 6 grams of carbs per slice and only 40 calories which is awesome. I still try not to eat more than 2 slices a day and I am down 45 lbs since 11/9/2012. I wish it was more. Im not upset about my progress but I feel I have been stuck at 215 for the last 8 weeks.
