Carbs!

I feel that a whole food, plant based diet is much more healthy. Carbs are natural and not evil. It's the refined carbs...the processed foods and simple sugars...that I feel one should be wary of. Ketosis happens when you eat low carb and you use fat for energy instead of sugar. You will feel really sluggish and cruddy from the byproducts of that so drink lots of water to help flush them out of your system.0

Carbs are okay but what you're shooting for is balance. The My Plate method is the protein is 1/4 of your plate, carb is 1/4, and veggies/fruit are 1/2. You still need to weigh the foods to know the calorie count, but this gives you at least a rough idea of what you would be working with.0

And yes the sugar in fruit is a simple carb. However, fruit also has fiber and vitamins, making it a good "use" of carbs.0
