    I have heard people say to cut the carbs but that doesnt actually make any difference for me. I find what works best is a very balanced diet, plenty of pulses and veg and as little processed food as possible. I do eat pasta, bread and potatoes, pasta maybe twice a week and potoes only once. I do eat bread most days though but i always stick to the brown/wholemeal types where i can. I have lost weight doign this since i joined MFP and also when i ate this waya coupld of years ago i lost 3 stone, i only put it back on after 3 difficult pregnancies

    I eat less carbs, but have not eliminated them from my diet. I have cut out white sugar and do my best to avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup or other sugars.. I try to stick to a diabetic type diet. Some people have luck with a lower GI tpe diet as well. I changed my macronutrient goals to 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. It seems to work for me. Good luck!

    Low glycemic index foods are the best. I count calories (obviously!) but try to stick with complex carbs and proteins.
