    There is no bad, there is only overindulgence. As long as you eat a balanced diet, with the proper nutrients and proper amount of calories, you don't have to cut anything out completely.

    They are ok in small amounts. Try to stay away from processed carbs, like chips, crackers, and pasta. The theory is if you cut carbs, your body switches from running off carbs and sugar to running off fat. In my opinion, I just try to eat smart carbs, like whole grain bread, and smart starches like a baked potato. These keep you fuller longer than going without carbs at all.

    There is no such thing as "bad" foods.

    Eat what you want, maintain a caloric deficit, exercise, and profit.
