    Carbs are just food. They aren't good or bad. They're just energy for the body.

    Some people find they do really well with a low carb approach to weight loss, but it's not mandatory. As long as you're hitting your calorie goals and any other personal nutrition goals, there's no reason to feel guilty for a few crackers! :flowerforyou:

    I've lost nearly 80 lbs so far and I get 50% - 60% of my daily calories from carbs. Eat what keeps you satisfied as that will help you stay on track. I wouldn't be able to continue losing if I had to cut out my carbs. I would be miserable.

    I'm high "good carbs" and losing.
    Beans, lentils, quinoa, barley, even sweet potato.
    I try to avoid processed food (not easy).
