Why hate on the carbs? They're just food, like all the rest. It makes sent to maybe cut down on the carbs which have little to no nutritional value, like sugar, but whole grains, beans, etc. are very healthy.0

Not necessarily Hating I've just heard that people have gotten some good results by going low or no carb and just looking to see if it would be beneficial for me or not.0

The point is you clearly don't know the first thing about proper nutrition even though claim to "know the basics". Not at all...cutting out foods or food groups from your diet is how you fail in the long run.0 -

Eat the foods you like. Eat at a deficit. Lose weight.

This little light of mine... Imma let it shine.0 -
1. Set a calorie goal for weight loss
2. Set up proper macronutrient goals (0.82g per lb of body weight for protein. 0.4g per lb of body weight for fat. Remaining calories go to carbs)
3. Eat WHATEVER YOU WANT as long as you don't exceed your calorie goal, and you at least match or exceed your goals for protein and fat.
THE END0 -
All those big fat Asians and their carby white rice carbs!!!0

so Instead of ridiculing me with pointless a meme why not share some info that may be beneficial? I'm on this forum because I'm trying to learn if you have some advice you would like to share I'm ready to listen. I don't have the time for condescending remarks, comments or memes0

Fruit and veg have carbs. So "no carb" is not a practical diet plan.
Set a reasonable calorie deficit. Eat what you like in reasonable amounts. Try to hit your macros. You do not need to avoid carbs unless you have a specific medical condition.

The instructions have already been provided. Also...settle down0 -
1. Set a calorie goal for weight loss
2. Set up proper macronutrient goals (0.82g per lb of body weight for protein. 0.4g per lb of body weight for fat. Remaining calories go to carbs)
3. Eat WHATEVER YOU WANT as long as you don't exceed your calorie goal, and you at least match or exceed your goals for protein and fat.
THE END
This is excellent advice and not condescending at all.
In addition to the sexy pants link here are two more good reads. You also need a food scale and start to weigh all of your solid food and measure all of your liquids, and learn how to log everything.
